I.E. Ask an AIBU? that will get a resounding YABU then reveal details to let us see why actually YANBU but missed the important bits out of the op.

Like this one from Scottishmummy.

AIBU - my MIL (always)wont come and see me despite having gammy legs,bad teeth and one eye

YABU

OP (eventually)but MIL is a conniving miserable manipulative woman who locks my children in the cupboard and beats them.she has gammy legs running away from social workers who rescued dc

AIBU to be pissed off that my in-laws have criticised my choice of baby name? I've gone for Isabella Prudence, I think they're classy, pretty names.

ireplytoeverythread - no, YANBU, it's your choice what you name your dc, tell them to feck off

yummymummybodenwearer - Ooh I love those names too, I have an Isabella, an Octavia, a Camilla and a Henrietta. Why ever would your in laws dislike them?

OP They reckon he'll be teased at school..

FfreckleFface · 02/09/2008 22:52

This thread is bad.

Very very bad.

AIBU because I spent ten minutes laughing like a lunatic at this thread earlier this evening?

YANBU

Little Ff was abandoned on baby gym while Boy Dog and Girl Dog sniffed interestedly around her at the time...

A really great thread that has detracted from some of the recent AIBU madness.

AIBU to make my children wear the clothes they wore yesterday again as I'm fed up with doing so much washing?
rightonmummy: No, of course not I do it all the time
staunchfeminista: Get your dh to wash them
considerateposter: I don't see why not, do they actually need washing yet?
OP: We were out most of the day yesterday so they aren't too bad.
rightonmummy:Well then you've answered your own question.
staunchfeminista:What ungrateful people you live with, you take them out for the day and they expect you to do washing?
considerateposter: Chill out and put your feet up then, did you have a nice day
OP: yeah, we went on a farm trip, DD tripped up and landed face first in cow shit and DS fell in a river but they had a great time.

OP - AIBU for DH and I to have my ds still sleeping in the same room as us? Friends have been making comments.

ireplytoeverythread - tell them to feck off and mind their own business

concernedhvtype - YANBU, it is best for any child to be in with its parents until at least 6 months of age. How old is he?

OP - 14

superpreachycosleeper - months?

OP - no, years
