To think this is SO UNFAIR?

I wanted some pink trainers from New Look so my mum ordered (and paid for) them. She ordered herself some in the same size/style but green.

They turned up and mine don’t fit, I’m now a bigger size than her. So she sent those back and ordered me the next size up. They haven’t arrived yet even though I keep asking her when they are coming and doing my best uuuuuuurgh noise when she says she doesn’t know.

Anyway, the worst thing is that she has been wearing hers. Right in my face. She can’t see what she’s done wrong even though it’s obvious that she shouldn’t wear them until I’ve got mine (and then never at the same time) because it’s just not fair.

AIBU? I’ve stormed upstairs to my room and slammed the door and she still won’t apologise.

Plus points for referencing Molesworth in the third post, OP !

Why is it hilarious?

Apparently taking the piss out kids having ‘moments’ it’s top notch comedy on MN. Someone will be ‘spitting their tea on the screen’ soon enough due to excessive hilarity.

Blimey, there are some humourless responses here. No sympathy for a mother dealing with a totally unreasonable teenager, then? It couldn't have been more obvious this was a reverse if the OP had written REVERSE 20 times in the subject line.

In this house the DM would just have kept both pairs for herself and the poor teen could well have ended up with none - could have been worse. Grin

Spat ma tea.

Iamagreyhoundhearmeroar · 23/05/2018 17:02

But op isn’t looking for sympathy, apparently. She’s looking for (and getting) shrieks of Op, you’re hilarious, put this in Classics NOW!!!
Tedious.

Sosogoodagain · 23/05/2018 17:02

you poor thing - go NC with your mum. immediately. LTB.

youarenotkiddingme · 23/05/2018 17:03

Brilliant!

Reverse AIBU written by a teen?!

Bogmoppit · 23/05/2018 17:03

Wow ur mum is tots a bitch. She prob cancelled ur order coz she prefers ur sib.

Ignore haterz. I get u bruh.

I think the best thing to do would be if someone got hold of a marker pen and your mums trainers and embellished them. Smiley faces, dots, zig zags, that would teach her to stop FLAUNTING, and trying to be like down wi'da kidz.

Cringe

@howabout

So so tempted.

Er, really not looking for cries of hilarity, just assumed that other parents of teens would empathise. As I said, it is very much laugh or cry.

“ I didn’t ask to be born ! “
“Oh you certainly did ! You insisted on being born... I was there .
On the other hand you did not ask to be conceived , both your dad and I were there when that happened “
Exit of wailing and mortified teenager !

There is a hell reserved for such dreadful and selfish mothers. She will spend eternity doomed to walk barefoot over hot coals while searching through mountains of shoes - none of which actually fit her. A fitting punishment for such an awful woman. You, meanwhile, will eventually be wafted to heaven by angels Halo Halo Halo, where you will be offered an infinity of shoes in every conceivable (and some inconceivable) colours and styles - all of which fit perfectly. You mother will weep and wail and scream "I wish I had been a better mother!" But, alas, wisdom comes too late.

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/05/2018 17:11

Shame you didn’t keep the pink pair as well to flaunt in her face seeing as they fitted you.... that would have been funny.

Creambun2 · 23/05/2018 17:14

Reverse threads are boring and tedious.

RatherBeRiding · 23/05/2018 17:16

creambun - so click off it. Hmm

The rest of us are enjoying it!
