My mums a right biddy. Right I can roll my school skirt up 3 times to get it short. Maxine says it’s well good and Darren says I have nice legs. But OMG my biddy mum says she can see my breakfast when I bend over! I mean OMG! Really! Says I’m not going out the house like that. She’s so old . She’s 35 and knows nothing about being a teenager. She still used a tin can and string to talk to her old biddy mates. Aibu?

It’s great getting off my chest every bloody argument I’ve had with my teens plus the arguments I had with my ‘oldies’
Being woken up at 2am by my son coming in drunk and shouting about a power cut , wasn’t the highlight of my night.

Well....my DM is SUCH a hypocrite right?

She expects me to do things for myself when she's working (always like moaning bout 'making ends meet', like that's just SO DRAMATIC) She doesn't understand that my gaming is like WORK- its gonna make my fortune cause like I'm getting my own you tube following an I'll make SO much money that I can build my own like house (I showed her that other guy's post, the one where he is actually building the fecking house FGS - she just started droning on about 'statistics' ' not safe or realistic', after we had we had a discussion shouting at her cause she wound me right up with her like NEGATIVITY she still was banging on at me about balance an priorities! I mean she is such a downer right?
I mean why should I clean up my room when there are friends online depending on me, getting up levels and collecting followers is like SO vital, WTAF is there not to understand!!

Anyway if she thinks the smell from my room 'makes the hall stinky' she should shut the door to my room after INVADING MY PRIVACY FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME. My time , my room - human right's say I can do what I want.
Right so get this - today she's nagging on about taking the dog out before I go bowling with Fraser, wtf she can do it it's her day off!!
So next she says something about ' ironing' omg SUCH a MARTYRE like I am allowed no free time or pleasure....Ok so its my dog but I've not seen Fraser in ages and she should be more reasonable.
Its unfair and hypocritical right that she expects me to do stuff when she can do it herself on her day off....its U of her not to be more understanding of like my needs ffs
AIBU to just leave the dog shut in my room as she's made me late with her nagging? Plus I cant take the dog out anyway as I've not charged my phone so can't listen to my music-I mean like HELLO????

honeylulu · 08/10/2017 11:42

My stupid mother asked what was up so I told her there was beef going down at school because some of the road men got kicked off the grime channel. She said she had no idea what i was talking about. FFS she knows NOTHING!

drinkswineoutofamug · 08/10/2017 11:43

My mum complained about a smell coming from my room. Couldn’t smell anything. Anyways she goes in, invades my private space wearing rubber gloves coz she likes to be dramatic . Then goes sick at me coz she found a half eaten kebab under me bed. Wondered where that went. The bitch then made me empty me bin and take all the plates down stairs ffs there were only 6. She complains I collect pizza boxes too

My parents laughed at me for telling them, "I ain't gonna bother with school anymore as I'm gonna go on x-factor 'n' win and i'll be a billionaire within a week" ATBU?

honeylulu · 08/10/2017 11:49

Oh and because we live in a DUMP my parents are looking for a bigger house. They found one they like but now the idiots have ruined it by saying I can't have the master suite to myself. FFS!!! Don't they know I need more privacy than anyone else and obviously I need the biggest bedroom to make videos for my you tube channel, I mean, dur!
After all there is another bathroom that my stupid parents and pointless sister and any of their stupid guests can all share SO WHY CAN'T I HAVE ONE TO MYSELF??? They even think they have the right to decide because they are paying!!! The most selfish thing I've heard EVER!

SemiNormal · 08/10/2017 11:52

LakieLady · 08/10/2017 11:56

I'm really, really ill. I'm so ill, that when I got home last night, I puked all the way up the stairs. My bitch of a mother INSISTED that I clear up all the puke, even though I WAS LITERALLY DYING of food poisoning and she accused me of being sick because of drinking too much - I'd only had like, 6 Jagerbombs, ffs.

Now she won't take me to A&E and I'm REALLY REALLY ILL. I think I must have a brain tumour because my head is agony and every time I eat or drink I just chuck up, like proper PROJECTILE VOMITING. She'll be sorry when she finds me dead in my bed.

I'm 16, am I too old to ring Childline?

Looneytune253 · 08/10/2017 11:57

Omg my Mam is like so mean. Every day she makes us meat and vegetables and if I dare to complain about the meat (I hate meat) she loses her shit and then takes away the meat and makes me eat the vegetables. Ffs gammon is my fave meat out of all the meats and she takes it away!! (Actual scenario)

SemiNormal · 08/10/2017 12:00

pisacake · 08/10/2017 12:01

AIBU to think my mum is so rude, she asks me why I'm playing games on the internet and not doing my homework but it's not due in till Tuesday what a bitch.

JackieMac77 · 08/10/2017 12:03

Yeah, thank God for Grandmas, LonginesPrime. Luckily my nana also steps in when she sees the emotional and financial abuse the parents subject me to. The other week I had to spend a little extra (£20 give-or-take..) at Starbucks after school as my BFF was literally going through hell because the guy she liked had mugged her off, so obvs we all needed to be there for her, and talk it through over pumpkin spice lattes each day. Bitch mother discovered I'd dodged the Explorer Scouts trip to a climbing wall and kept the subs as I needed to reapportion funds, so docked my pocket money. Cow.
Luckily Nana came up trumps with hugs and a tenner. I love my Nana. Bitch mother has now redirected her rage at Nana.

Groovee · 08/10/2017 12:09

I’m 17 and fed up off the fact my mum wants me in at 10pm on School nights! She’s ok if I am working though! Then on weekends she gets grumpy about my times!

I came in 90 minutes early last night! She kept asking me why I had grass all over me. I couldn’t work my key either in the door and then had to phone my bro to open it for me. My mum asked me if I was drunk when I walked backwards in to the bathroom! As if I was drunk, I only shared some alcohol with my friends! Then I could hear her laughing when the bathroom door wouldn’t unlock for me!

I got her back... I set my alarm for 5am then complained my dad had wakened me too early as I wasn’t working until 8am!

AIBU that I don’t reply to her over the grass?

SlimDogMillionaire · 08/10/2017 12:12

AIBU that I refuse to wear a coat to school in December? My mum says I am but she is well lame innit.

AnnaNimmity · 08/10/2017 12:20

OMG you lot are sooooo unlucky. I'm really lucky because my mum has literally like no clue what I get up to at all. She thinks I spend my days like literally working hard and my evenings watching literally films with my friends or revising.

She's so square that she has no idea what I get waved with my friends most nights, and am snogging random boys and have , like, the longest story ever on snap.

Thingywhatsit · 08/10/2017 12:27

Don't get why all the oldies are so triggered- I only altered the truth a little. And it was only a little fight - not much blood...... and if I had told you the truth you wouldn't have let me go to the party.....

(Videos all over snapchat might show something different......)

VioletCharlotte · 08/10/2017 12:30

So I need new clothes for college and literally EVERYONE is going shopping to London for stuff. My Mum won't give me any money?!? WTAF? Says she's not giving me money as I'll spend £60 on one jumper when I could buy 4 for that price in Primark. She doesn't get that brands MATTER and are a statement about WHO YOU ARE!!!

Shockers · 08/10/2017 12:38

AIBU to think my mum was rude when she did her 'hmmm' face when I explained how the red wine blood stains got onto her new leather sofa?

And wtaf? She read my book, signed by all my friends when we left year 11 and found out that it wasn't the dog and the neighbourhood fox having a fight, which left the dog with blood on him before he sat on the sofa; it was actually a party I threw while they were at an overnight party (hypocrites) for someone's 50th (I mean, what's the point at that age?).

She said she knew it was a party because the old biddy in the pink dressing gown told her (what was she even doing outside at 3am?), but it wasn't, it was an "intimate gathering" of around 40 teenagers.

She needs to chill out.

(Disclaimer- said teen is now 30 and is as straight laced as they come!)

My mother keeps telling me to bring down the cups, plates general shit from my room.
AIBU to just leave them on the landing banister?

Also she expects me to actually make my bed, doesn't she realise I'll be laying in it most of the weekend?

whatsthepointinwasps · 08/10/2017 12:46

oh btw here is more evidence of DM's hypocritical, selfish attitude...
So she gave me her works office number 'to ring in an emergency' like she can't trust me to cope on my own ffs....
So a few weeks later I phone her work while she's on shift (she's a support worker for vulnerable adults so her jobs a piece of piss...she's never busy and anyone could do it)
It was SO ANNOYING having to wait while they went and found her as I was in a state, so like after literally HOURS she comes to the phone like all 'What is it, what's happened, are you ok?' SO CONDESCENDING and stupid as obvs I'm not ok or I wouldn't have rung FFS!!!!
So I go 'mum you need to get me a subway on your way home from work as I'm starving and there's no food in' I mean like WTAF is wrong with that???? I need to eat!
SO then she says 'I gave you this number for emergencies- this is not an emergency!'..... OMGOMG it so fucking is!
ME: 'It is an emergency I'm starving and there's no food'
HER: 'There is food - there is pasta and sauce you can make or there is a pizza in the freezer.'
SANCTIMOANYUS BITCH- I'm not going to eat pasta without cheese WHO DOES THAT????? and she knows I can't stand thin crust pizza ffs!
ME: 'I don't like that pizza and I'm not wasting my time cooking stuff I don't want.'
HER: 'Well if you were starving you would be willing to eat what's there, plus there's cereal in the cupboard if you're desperate'
ME: 'Mum I am actually starving here cause you never got the right stuff in for me. I need a subway'
HER: 'There is a difference between want and need. I doubt you are actually starving as you were eating a Dominoes, potato wedges, milkshake and pringles after midnight last night.'
Right so like that was like HOURS AGO!!!!!
Then the cheeky cow hung up on me after moaning on about 'old enough to sort something out' and 'very busy here/emergencies only' crap.
AIBU to say she shouldn't give me a number to phone then complain when I use it and she is just a hypocrite.
It's DEFO so NOT unreasonable for me to not to eat food I don't like, it's almost abuse-Should I phone Childline?

buckingfrolicks · 08/10/2017 13:05

AIBU? I get great grades and I’m no trouble in my opinion my mum doesn’t know how lucky she is that I’m her DD so why does she have a go at me all the time? She’s just so angry I honestly wonder if she has mental health problems. T mates think she’s cool but honestly she just puts on an act with them. I try and tell them what she’s like. Yesterday I had baked a load of cupcakes and I was going to clean the kitchen just had to watch Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares first it’s just so great. And she goes mad at me. And it’s so unfair cos she lets my brother (he’s got my mums mental health issues too plus he’s a knob) get away with everything

One day she’ll be sorry she was so nasty to me. I feel quite sad for her life tbh all she does is work and sleep and not even keep the house clean god sometimes it’s so filthy I have to get the hoover out of my BF is coming over.
