I'll start.

AIBU to be pissed off with my recluse sister?

My sister is an introvert to the point where she won't even speak to me anymore. We live together but I literally don't see her from one day to the next and TBH I'd like a bit of company. Also it's bloody cold in our house, especially walking past DSis room, anyone got any recommendations for portable heaters? Preferably from John Lewis.

I'm extremely pregnant and have a toddler, I'm not feeling very attractive atm. My shit of a husband has left me for my friend and I am comforting myself with a lot of mashed potatoes

Following a terrible bereavement my husband and I decided to go sailing for an extended period. We have noticed a handsome stranger rowing towards us, he's coming from an abandoned ship. Thankfully I have great hair which my husband shampoos for me up on deck.

I'm very dashing and handsome and thoroughly enjoying schmoozing amongst the current leading political party. I have a factory which is making me super rich. My workforce are a bit downtrodden and my accountant is a total bore. He's got such a stick up his arse and barely cracks a smile. Their grumpy faces are a snorefest for me. Bring on the brandy and cigars i say, life is for having fun!

My husbands great, a real catch. He's an osteopath and here in America that means big bucks. He's from a different culture but that just makes things interesting, i enjoy cooking the food from his country. Recently my husband has been paying attention to a recent change in leadership in his home country. The new leader is a bit weird and dresses kind of old fashioned, his beard is not very groomed either. Anyway my husband wants our daughter and I to go on holiday to his home country. What shall I pack?

*seren - more clues please

SerenDippyEggs · 11/10/2018 11:00

So, I went for a few hours to clear my head, and ended up getting in a fight with a guy much much smaller than me! After some snooping, I found out FIL paid for him to attack me Shock but now I guess I am friends with the small guy, who we'll call P. So heartbroken and found out there are more issues in my marriage than I thought. AIBU to go on a quest with my DD (Grin) and P and try to work things out?

minisoksmakehardwork · 11/10/2018 12:30

CoolCarrie · 11/10/2018 13:05

PickleRick yes it is Strangers On A Train.

Binglebong · 11/10/2018 13:15

I was unofficially adopted as a baby. Unfortunately my new family had to give me up and some friends were tasked with helping me to return to my relations. But my relations REALLY don't like my friends and family. They're bigots, basically. I know there are dangers staying where I am, and that some people will try to exploit me, but AIBU to try to stay where I am? SS aren't involved BTW.

SerenDippyEggs · 11/10/2018 13:23

Another clue for mine - RE the other man my partner seems to be interested in, you could say I'm GREEN with envy

CoolCarrie · 11/10/2018 13:25

Binglebong · 11/10/2018 13:33

No Cool, sorry. Although excellent film - I watched it last week.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 11/10/2018 13:34

WWYD?

I'm a nanny to this lovely boy who has moved to the countryside to live with his parents. His dad needs the peace and quiet to do his work. His mum is a bit highly strung and she does miss the social life that living in the city used to provide. Anyway, since the dad got some of his writings published, the boy has been on this treadmill of social engagements - phone calls, public appearances and so on. He does them (he's such a sweet boy) but his parents don't see that he's being denied a normal childhood of running in the forest and climbing trees and such.
I've been seeing a lovely gentleman and while he hasn't proposed as yet, I can only imagine that it's only a matter of time before it happens.
WIBU to pack in the nanny job and give them a piece of my mind about how they are treating their son?
BTW, since his dad's writings have been published, this poor kid can't even go to the zoo in peace without being hounded for autographs and pictures.

Is it the one about Christopher Robin?
