AIBU - Books part 2

[theyoungvisiter]

as you were ladies.

I'll put mine in again. AIBU? It turns out I married my brother. It was an accident though, and I didn't get the best start in life?

MMJ, are you ever going to tell? there must be a statute of limitations on teasing!

Theyoungvisitor, I will post here instead of my thread, in deference to your superb pedantry!

YABU Theyoungvisitor. While sympathising with your dilemma re. your pervy old uncle, I suspect the climate of opinion would be very cold towards your relationship with him.

as a parallel to Maria's -

AIBU? It turns out I married my son. Also an accident, his dad insisted we get rid of him (he is very superstitious). Do you think my son/husband will be upset when he finds out?

well done MrsF! I thought no-one had got it

I think trouble in the offing when dh/ds meets up with his dad...could cause lifelong trauma.

Love in a Cold Climate! love those Mitfords.

Was there a prophecy involved TYV? These things always end in trouble.

nobodee tried mine.

indeed Salome - possibly even a fatal accident.

(I don't know what yours is Maria - clue please?!)

Yes Trillian - there was a prophecy involved and as usual the stupid old servant didn't do as he was told and get rid of the child properly - some old goat-herd interfered.

I blame the goat-herd myself.

Might need loads of pychoanalysis.

OK - another clue.

After ditching the housework to go boating with my new friend, and meeting his rich friend, we set off on a caravan holiday together, which was cut short by an RTA. It was this that led to the rich chap's obsession with cars - and eventually to his being sent to prison (despite our best efforts at an intervention).

Might even have to invent psychoanalysis

TYV. Can't get decent goatherd these days. I blame the schools. and the parents. and the government. And the goats.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg Salome I KNOW yours.

Please give me a clue, it's on the tip of my tongue.

This can NEVER be a book, but anyway:

AIBU to think that my daughter is a spoilt little brat to have, without my knowledge, invited 3 of my exs to her wedding that cost me the earth and had people travel from long distances, only to decide at the last minute she's not that bothered after all.

Staying, sounds a bit wet, parp parp!

staying sunny, I don't know what the original clue was, but is it rather breezy in those willows over there?

I do sometimes think I might not be the best of parents. My many children are a bit scattered, although the child I had with my DB did ok in the end.

Salome, is it Wives & Daughters perhaps?

but MMJ, you said it was more literary than Trollope! Are we completely off base?

You got it girls!! POOP POOP!
