It’s so bossy. The suggestion may or may not be helpful but it’s the way it’s put.

’I’m struggling with how to keep my children entertained this half term as the weather is so bad - they are four and six, any ideas? We don’t have much money.’

’Have you got waterproofs? They might just enjoy going out anyway.’ is fine.

’Wellies and waterproofs. Get outside.’ pisses me off!

Or is it just me? There’s definitely some bossy posters here!

Oh yes, and moralising titles “asking” you to do things.
AIBU to ask you to save the planet by buying an electric car?
AIBU to ask you not to stroke my dog?

Yes I hate these. You know you are BU.
