Help! I have one dd. My mil has lived with us since we have been married.

She is a very strong woman and overruled me on everything. She sends me to bed if I sneeze.

When dd was 2 dh pissed off capturing butterflies in Africa and I havnt heard off him for years. Bastard. So mil got friendly with a wierd lady next door. She has big hair coils round her ears, writes books and has lots of kids.

I am concerned she is also involved in modern slavery as she has a woman living with her called Anna who does everything.

Anyway mil and this wierd Jo woman have colluded to send dd to a boarding school.

Aibu to just want to move away with dd. Start again and have some fun? Grin

Guess the book and keep going. Grin

We need to talk about Kevin?

My Dh has an addictive personality, and is currently taking care of things, whilst writing wrongs. Ds has illuminated thoughts, but is currently obsessed with a past Grand National winner. We must be careful not to overlook the weather or it could end up a complete hachet job!

Yup to Romeo and Juliet!

MrStarkIDontFeelSoGood · 18/07/2018 16:50

I have 4 DDs - my husband and I were ostracised from society because of our liberal views but we are OLD MONEY so we still hope the girls can marry well

The NDNs rich grandson proposed to my eldest but she declined

My youngest went abroad with my DHs aunt and has returned married to said grandson without even telling us!

AIBU to think he doesn't really love her??

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 18/07/2018 16:51

Oh, cross post. Aha!

AIBU to be very worried about my younger daughter? She has an extremely vivid imagination, so we normally pay little attention to what she says, but she mentioned recently drinking out of a bottle labelled Drink Me Hmm and shrinking to 10" high and then eating a cake labelled (you guessed it) Eat Me and growing so tall her head hit the ceiling. I have to tell the police, don't I? Confused

Little Women!

Seasawride · 18/07/2018 16:52

I am fat my wife is fat and my in laws are fat.

My wife’s friends is one of those strange people who literally runs the whole village. Think rescue, supermarket checkout, taxi service etc.

I think my wife might be drugging me as I am often slow and get things wrong also there are many people on my village that shouldn’t really talk or get on. Their teacher is wierd and does no health and safety checks for trips etc.

My house is perched on a very high hill.

Disclaimer I do have this in book form!! My dgs reads it. Grin

DSis had a really weird dream. Rabbits and cats and playing cards - I’m fairly certain she’s been eating or drinking something she shouldn’t...

My MIL was also my sister-in-law. A cold hearted mountain of a woman married to my vile brother. They lived in a huge house with an absolutely enormous attic. My wife and I never contacted them after eloping together.

We were happily married for years and had four beautiful blond children - a wannabe doctor, just like me; a dancer; and little twins - and all our names began with C. We had the perfect life.

But now I’ve been killed in a car accident and I fear my wife may seek help from her parents...

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 18/07/2018 16:58

Today 15:18 MissLingoss
When my son left the army, he set up as a private investigator, which means he spends his time running around our city hanging out with lowlifes and getting into trouble. And as for his girlfriends - rope dancers and such like. Then on a trip abroad he met a girl from a really high class family. She seems like a nice girl, respectful to her elders, but she's way out of his league, and there are complications with her ex.

Did we get this one?

LadyFlumpalot · 18/07/2018 16:58

So, DH went off to oversee a complicated probate case in some godforsaken corner of the world recently and has come back a nervous wreck. Something about a rocking chair and a carriage.

He's really twitchy around everyone at the moment and keeps going on about this woman. Is this mentionistis? Should I be worried about an OW? Should I LTB?

As an aside, does anyone know when London will be free of this awful smog? It's really creeping the carriage horses out when they can only just see people crossing the road, I'm scared we'll have an accident!

Seasawride · 18/07/2018 16:59

So I grew up very very rich and married young. War came and dh was killed. Thank for I only married him to piss off the love of my life who is marrying his cousin.

Anyway this utter sex God overheard me declaring my love for my neighbour and often takes the piss.

I lost all my money in s stupid war but built up a good lumber business and stole my sisters fiancee. He died too thankgod.

So I married the piss taker, sex was excellent and all was good until dd fell off a horse just like pa.

Anyway original lovers wife dies and I find I preferred her to him. He’s a twat. Realise I actually loved the piss taker but he told me he doesn’t give a dam and has gone.

Think I need to go home
