Imagine if you went to dadsit your 93-yr-old father for 24 hrs and when you woke up he’d laid the breakfast table with your favourite polar bear bowl.

I've never looked at anyone who went to his wedding in the same way again

A sensitive request: I'm looking to speak *anonymously* to parents or trusted adults who have supported teenage children/relatives through early relationships that showed signs of coercive control or other forms of abuse.

I would like to know the laws around charging us money to file our taxes.

Whenever my daughter gets busted and presented with the evidence nowadays her excuse is always "that wasn't me, that's AI." This extends to empty packets of biscuits, hair dye all over the bathroom floor etc.

I'm definitely not typing this out loud but when I worked at the Poetry Society and the Poet Laureate visited the office we would all sing "What's love.... but a second Andrew Motion" under our breath.

Yeah they're all accusing it of being 'a reverse.'

AIBU to feel insulted. | Mumsnet Mum died April 25, previous will stated that any estate was to be split between me and my sister. We should have been in line for a share of a 285,00....

Really must stop getting sucked into AIBU threads on Mumsnet but this one's too fun. 1st sister couldn't be arsed to visit her annoying mum for 4yrs while 2nd sister provided all mum's care for 17 yrs. Now mum's dead and 1st sister furious she's been left off the will www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_be...

We have this one, it's pretty smol and has just two settings. COOK or KEEP WARM. Sometimes it gets shoved in the cupboard. Bit of jostling with the toaster. But still a lovely thing to have. www.amazon.co.uk/Macook-Non-S...

14-year-old daughter and I discover we have both separately arranged to go and see The Moment, the Charli XCX film, with our friends. Feels like A MOMENT alrite. Except she has actually organised her trip and booked tickets whereas mine is all blah blah soon. Wish she'd let me go with her friends.

Also it's his birthday today so he'll be in a hurry to get to Pizza Express

He’s likely to crack under advanced interrogation techniques such as asking him literally any question.

Torn between a) they've had to do this to show Andrew isn't above the law but nothing will come of it, and b) they wouldn't have done this if they didn't have something pretty big on him, this is it.

What do we reckon?

Did anyone try asking the women there what they wanted?

Just found out that Bad Bunny's creative director, who worked with him to make that incredible Super Bowl show happen, is a Scotswoman called Harriet who went to Fettes. Truly, the world is full of remarkable things.

I'm not sure if you mean they're not given the opportunity because the systems are demanding something else from them or because they haven't met a school refuser. I'm in a parents' support group for this stuff and many others have had terrible experiences.
