AIBU Kidsnet

[MahMahMahMahCorona]

If Mumsnet opened a new site called Kidsnet, AIBU to ask what do you imagine your kids would write?

DC11 “My DM is so strict with screen time. I would game all day if I could but she won’t let me. AIBU to move out into my own place and game when I like all day and all night? This would help next week as I'm now so grown up I'm past needing to go back to school. I've learnt so much on Bitesize I'm set up for life."

DC9 “My DB is the pits, yesterday he got into the preferred secondary school and DM baked him a cake. I don’t think she’s baked in over a year so he’s definitely the favourite. AIBU to be really grumpy ever since and refuse to talk to anyone but the cat? I love Minecraft by the way."

I'm pretty sure the dog and cat would also have something to say. DCat would complain about the lack of variation in his food cupboard, and the DDog. And DDog would simply complain about DCat.

My parents are never happy they always complain that I should put my toys away can't they see I'm busy

@Pompom2367 yes! "If I want to ask DM a question she always asks "give me a minute", whereas if she wants me to do something it has to be immediate! It's soo unfair!"

DS: As I'm 3 I get I am totally unreasonable, but I don't care. DM and DF are absolutely neurotic about saying please and thank you. I'm sure they are both narcissists, wibu to go NC with them over this and live at nannas and grandads house? P.S any attempt to tell me how unreasonable I am will result in a flounce and a raging temper tantrum.

DSD, 11. God my SM is literally the worst EVER. I got up this morning and she smiled at me and said good morning, darling. like ohmygod, like how EMBARRASSING is she? I mean I do love her and she loves me, but like I don't have to like her, you know, she's so uncool. WIBU to tell her this. I mean so as not to drop feed, I kinda did. But you just to tell her again?

Omg omg omg AIBU that my mum only let's me and Dsis (5) stay at the playground for 4 hours before she starts whingeing that she's cold or it's dinner time or something? I mean I'm 9, ffs, I should totally be allowed to just stay there as long as I want without adult supervision. Also what's with the complaining about mud? Such a fuss about nothing.

@Whiskeylover45 love it! Definitely time to move out and go NC with the Narc parents. Nanna will be so much more cool to live with!

@Iveputmyselfonthenaughtystep - only FOUR hours? That's definitely not enough time for mum to freeze to death and push you 453 million times on the swing....

Mum says she's so busy and never has any time but she's always on mumsnet.

AIBU to be eye rolling? My "D"M actually thinks I should Hoover my room? If she didn't WANT the responsibility of kids why did she HAVE any fgs?! (DD13)

DD(17) AIBU to arrange a keyworker place for myself at school without telling either of my parents - especially when DF's job is the most tenuous keyworker role in the country..... DPs were so uncool about my leaving them to learn about it from my tutor and thought I should have consulted them first. (Especially as I board so DF had to take time off from his playing computer games and drinking coffee/essential keyworker role to drive me and all my stuff back.)

AIBU to think that when I haven't fed for a whole hour or so DM should not delay the feed I've suddenly demanded by doing silly things like sitting herself down comfortably? Sometimes I have to wait a whole 30 seconds or so. And she told the pediatrician that I'm fed on demand, so she's a big fat lier. (DD, 3 months.)

DD7 - AIBU to cover my entire bedroom floor with little tiny pieces of Lego? DM is always moaning about standing on them, but she doesn't realise that I'm using every single one of them and if I put them back in the box I won't be able to find them again for my seventeen different elaborate models I'm building simultaneously.

DD5 - AIBU to hide food I don't want to eat behind the plant pot in the kitchen? I think it's a great idea. DM was happy that I'd actually eaten some chicken and broccoli. But then got all mad when she found it'll my stash all mouldy behind the pot.

DS2 - AIBU to watch DM build a really intricate train track for me to play with (even though she has a massive big laundry pile cause I was sick in my bed last night), and then promptly kick it all over when she's finished. Don't see what the problem is, I had great fun kicking all the little track pieces under the sofa

DS1 - It's not fair. I am only allowed one hour of Minecraft a day. I am 9 and all my friends play it ALL DAY.

DS2 - My Nana is the best cook in the world, AIBU to go and live with her as she feeds me treats ALL DAY.

DS(15) - why don't The Crumblies understand I need to bellow at top volume when playing my X Box? It's the modern equivalent of the primal scream, isn't it? My rite of passage. I don't complain when they're caterwauling to the radio do I?

DD (2)* AIBU to think if DM leaves a tube of sunscreen where I can get it while she changes DB's nappy she really hasn't got a leg to stand on if she comes back 2 minutes later and finds I've spread it all over the sofa?

DD (2)* again: AIBU to think DM was negligent to leave the key in the back door while she was in the garden hanging out the washing? OK, she took me out there too, and baby DB in his pushchair, but she really should have realised I would dash back in once her back was turned and lock the door. Obviously, I couldn't unlock it then, but I was fine, and it was really quite exciting when she got one of the scaffolders over the garden wall to bring their ladder and climb up to the top floor where there was an open window, and then come down through the house to unlock the back door.

DD (3)*: AIBU to think if my nursery school has a small tree in the playground it's perfectly reasonable to climb up it and refuse to come down? Can't see what all the fuss was about.

DS (5?)** AIBU to think it was a massive overreaction for people to dial 999 when I stuck my head through the rails down the side of the old slide in the playground and couldn't get it out again? OK, it was good fun when 2 fire engines, a police car and an ambulance turned up, but by that stage a kind lady had rubbed my neck with a piece of bread and butter and I'd wriggled out, no harm done at all.

*She's not far off 30 now, but some memories don't fade.

** He's late 20s now, but see comment above.

DD5- aibu to ring that nice lady called Laura and have another little chat with her? It's so lonely and boring waiting to go to sleep but if you call 999 they're so nice and chat to you for ages asking all sorts of questions that I know the answers to, which is much more interesting than going to sleep. Mummy made such a fuss, but Laura is my friend and I want to call her for another chat...

DD(16): I used to get grounded at least twice a year when I was a young kid. It was usually for stuff like poor school grades. Then in my teens, I went for several years without being grounded. But last March, I got grounded by Boris Johnson, and then he grounded me again in November and for all of 2021 so far!! It's not fair! AIBU to think that Boris is a right meanie?

These are brilliant!

Yesterday we had a major sense of humour failure when DC9 got some work sent back to him to correct. Sentence was "it is pitiful that mum is on Mumsnet whilst I do my English spelling homeschool." (He needed a capital "i").
