Something happened.

It was very bad and someone else's fault, possibly their child, possibly their MIL.

It may or may not have involved a flooded basement.

I've considered storming into school and confronting the head, changing the locks and baking again from scratch, gluten free. AIBU?

Dont want to give too many details as it could give you the faintest idea of what I'm on about be outing. Asking for a friend.

But the reason you’re having to take in ironing OP is that you’re only getting one meal out of your roast chicken. You need to make the leftovers stretch all week then boil the carcass to make nourishing broth for a weekend treat.

You need to try this new anti wrinkle cream, it’s only £500. It’s organic and mystical and wow my wrinkles have gone. It’s called vageline. Put is right where the ironing board was

MarianaMoatedGrange · 10/10/2019 22:34

Are you Transvegan OP?

BatshitBertha · 10/10/2019 22:53

Flooded basement?....is that you Coleen?

What's all this stuff about Spa Days anyway. Modern American imports, we never had spa days when i was young.

Precisely, we just went for a quick dip in the river and counted ourselves lucky. I blame any Tory minister Millennials anypoliticalparty cake people for things.

Husbands shouldn't be allowed hobbies anyway. It makes them Uppity.

That sounds like a quote from 'Last Of The Summer Wine'!

He’ll never change OP. In fact, this will get worse.

CannonCaboodle · 11/10/2019 16:45

Another one here for YABU.

Oh and look. OP didn't get the response she wanted so she's flounced off.

Well excuse me some of us are fortunate enough not to have to work (unlike my so called friend who is currently "at the doctor's") and consequently may be incommunicado for reasons - don't want to say more as completely identifying.

As if that wasn't enough the kitchen planner actually pointed out Ikea do a fold-out-from-a-base-unit-work-top-ironing-board. That's going to put the cat amongst the pigeons all over again.

I'd like to see the man uppity enough to get that where his legs meet.

PicpouldePinet · 11/10/2019 21:55

What on earth is this thread about?! Confused

NameChange84 · 11/10/2019 21:57

RTFT Angry

HerRoyalFattyness · 11/10/2019 22:02

Honestly, I think you should phone 111 for some professional advice.
And whatever you do, DO NOT have a quickie in a locked bedroom while there are people younger than 18 in the house, even if they're in a separate room.

1Morewineplease · 11/10/2019 22:16

Oh FFS!!! Just put the effing ironing board where your effing legs meet and tell the teacher. You don’t need this right now... your MIL is probably on to your case and your DP , who is earning a fucking mint, clearly doesn’t care. Check your cookware for mites!

ChickenGoujonDestroyer · 11/10/2019 22:39

MATCHED BETTING!

Butterflykiss00 · 11/10/2019 22:50

@NameChange84 I rtft and still have no clue what this is on about

Neome · 12/10/2019 00:23

Thank you to the poster who suggested counsilling. As I understand it its mostly doing a concerned , going hmm and never ever saying anything which might give away the faintest hint of what you think so perfect for me!

Much more fun than ironing and will help pay for the cleaner.

What about the lemon drizzle? And your minge?

bigdecisionstomake · 12/10/2019 08:47

Ooh, someone’s got their judge pants on.

Neome · 12/10/2019 08:48

According to BACP offering lemon drizzle is a no-no but a tasteful black and white minge photo 10x magnification would be very appropriate for the the waiting area.

I don't really understand the parking situation. Can you explain it again, with diagrams?

LonginesPrime · 12/10/2019 12:04

BUT WHO DOES THE MOST HOUSEWORK?

We need to know exact percentages broken down by room and cross-referenced with the days of the week, as well as the hours that each of you work each day. Once we have this information, we can crack out our clear acetate sheets and whiteboard pens to overlay all the information against the ideal ratios and make a determination as to whether your OH gets any say at all before he starts dusting the conservatory on Wednesdays.

OP, you really can't expect us to tell you whether your vet is BU without exact figures on the housework distribution.
