AIBU to be in love with my adoptive brother?

[orangesandlemonssaythebellsofstclements]

Sorry for the clickbait title - this is actually just a fun thread.

Take the plot of a book and turn it into a AIBU

I'll start.

AIBU to want to marry my adoptive brother that my dad found somewhere and instead of just doing it, acting like a total bitch to him and everyone else even after I'd died?

Urgent help! Social services want to talk to me because our son allegedly 'attacked' 2 intruders when we were out. They seem to think its somehow my fault! How can it be? I wasn't there! AIBU to go to the local paper and pose with a sad face so someone starts a just giving collection for the repairs and their medical bills?

It would be a nice thing to do, but she's got her own life and I'd play down the title a bit if I were you. Perhaps you could bond over a joint hobby, like murder mystery weekends?

Baby name help needed please. We are a sporty family , love sailing in the Lake District and I am expecting a little girl who I hope will embrace our outdoor life style. I have fallen in love with the name Titty, which I think is both fun and unique, but my friend says it is too much like the name she has chosen for her daughter, which is Kitty. Shall I stick to my guns and choose the name I love or allow my friend to walk over my dream name?

AIBU to think my adoptive parent might be a nut job? She got jilted years ago and still wears her wedding dress every day. She's still got the cake and all the food on the table in the front room. It's disgusting, smells vile and there's mice everywhere.

YANBU babe. And, for what it's worth, I dunno how you put with that UNINTELLIGIBLE man servant for all those years!

Some time ago my husband and I abandoned our children in the forest because we couldn’t afford to keep them . They are both quite resourceful so we thought they would be fine and would be able to find their own way in the world. Anyway, to cut a long story short they have just turned up again on our doorstep and it appears that between them they have killed and burned an old woman who had taken them into her home and offered them accommodation and work. Should we tell the authorities and hope they take the children away because we still can’t afford to keep them, especially since the old woman fed them on sweeties and they are now very obese and addicted to sugar.

Sounds a bit dodgy, I would find a nice dog to go with them to keep them safe.

Sounds like a fire hazard...........

OP, hate to tell you but your adoptive brother was likely your half brother. So, yuck.

I went out with this guy (I'll call him J) when I was really young, he was mad about me but he had no money and my parents thought I could do better. I married someone else (but I'm pretty certain he's seeing another woman)

My dilemma is this. J is back and has bought the house next door. He's obviously done well as he has a swimming pool and throws massive parties every Saturday, but there are rumours about him being a criminal.

AIBU if I meet up with him again? My cousin would be there.

Not in the slightest. You can hint he should take you and Sophie out for tea.

AIBU to go to an isolated island for a country house weekend with 9 other people and expect to come out alive? My DM says it's dangerous but I can't think what could go wrong.

I recently discovered that my fiancés first wife is locked up in the attic of his country mansion. He says he is terribly sorry for deceiving me , and it is me he really loves. Should I stay or go? Can men like him ever change or will I find myself locked in the attic one day?

Call her Letitia on her birth certificate, and let the NN emerge organically. You'll be fine.

Amazing! How badly I wanted to be the Famous Five when I was little. A bag of ham sandwiches, a bottle of ginger beer and you were free to go off to a random island camping and solve a mystery involving bad guys and no parental oversight what so ever 😂

Estella trust me, the mice & the rotting wedding cake are not the real problem. Your adoptive mother is using you to take revenge on men and you are in danger of entering an abusive relationship and marrying someone truly awful

I work at a publishing company in London and my colleague P seems to think she's in charge of! Anyways I think she's figured out I'm sleeping with our boss - what do I do?!

'Build an extension' said the wise old man.

The end.

Is this the ballet slippers???? I'd forgotten all about that book and loved it! Off to download on my kindle now!

Is it the famous five?

Typical - not a thought for your poor neglected, despised sister, who has already posted her problem.

OMG Lydia, when did you join mumsnet?
Off to change my username so it’s not too outing when I get advice about your frankly, disgraceful behaviour!*

I thought the despised sister who already posted was Mary.

Am I unreasonable to be upset that the girl who I persuaded not to marry the man she loved because I thought she was too good for him has now rejected the man I chose for her and instead wants the man I have secretly been in love with for years. He is much too good for her what shall I do?

I thought the foxes socks one was my fave but this steals the crown for me 😂

Go and steal that playboy Frank Churchill off Jane Fairfax. OK, he's a pain who is vain about his hair and think he's God's gift to women, but at least he never says 'Badly done, Emma! Badly done indeed!' at picnics...?

Would I be okay to let my 4 older children be in charge of the baby? The boys are very mature and always take charge, and the girls can cook and sew.

They do get up to odd things, have started keeping birds in the house and once set off fireworks indoors. I came home to find dozens of kittens climbing my curtains last week. But they’re fond of the baby, and I don’t think they’d actually lose it.

I’m going to need some help because I think Cook is about to hand in her notice; keeps muttering about kittens and beaches and saying “Lawks a’ mercy!” whatever that means.

OMG this is brilliant, thanks for the laugh@orangesandlemonssaythebellsofstclements
