To think that getting my own kids ready for World Book Day is enough hassle

[Sassybeast]

Without having to inspire my sister in law, my best friend and random women at the school gate I am going to do the school run in a balaclava this afternoon so that I can avoid the 'what are yours going as - I'm really stuck for ideas wadddyathink' conversations.

And AIBU to suggest that they ask their CHILDREN for some help with ideas ?

Have you not seen all the MN threads on this topic? Loads of people looking for suggestions!

Asking your children is not always as easy as it seems, especially if they come up with something obscure.

I am sure thaey are not really expecting you to come up with ideas for them. They are probably just chatting with lots of people about it, for ideas.

YABU.

Online threads I can ignore - requests from best friends to see if Asda has anything instock for their DD along with texts from SILs asking for ideas are what's tipped me over the edge
