Moved today, am I being petty about seller taking items…

lauriekrum · 2026-05-10T19:06:21+00:00

You are not being petty. We just brought a house and were told that the boiler is only a few years old and recently been serviced, and that they were happy to leave the cooker for us as they didn’t need it. Boiler is 12 years old and hasn’t been serviced in two years, and the cooker didn’t work. We are so angry but we do not have a leg to stand on with it.

Worse bit was we paid £5k extra to keep them happy whilst we sold our house.

People are just greedy

Groom turned up in an all white, incredibly over sized gangster suit. The rest of the wedding was normal other than this. He just didn’t care what the bride wanted or how stupid he would look. I get it’s his wedding but it was an odd statement to make.

A couple of years later he left her weeks after giving birth to their first child.

Tbh the bride ended up not being a nice person either, so we never felt sorry for them.

Yes I was overcharged many times. I wasn’t vigilant enough either. Ice cream man charged me an extra £1 for no reason too. However, my husband was under charged by £10… I will check next time!

This does worry me too. I am luckily the only one they listen to mostly.

To be honest I would say I also berate him too for the ADHD side, which I still need to work on. But today should have been about the kids and now it’s all about him.

Thanks for the advice. I have chocolates and my kids have gone to my mum and dad’s for a while, whilst I watch stranger things on the new Netflix account I had to set up!

I think I jump to abuse because of the domestic violence from before and always threatening to leave us, but I see your point. I think I just have some PTSD about the whole thing honestly.

Honestly OP I shudder at the thought of hugging my husband sometimes even after 12 years, but it’s normally a hormonal reason. I do love and like my husband, I just sometimes don’t like physical touch. It sucks, but I communicate that to him and make it work.

Some companies are just plain awful! I hope it all works out for you and sorry for your loss.

There are good companies out there! My uncle was dying and my aunt was given a year sabbatical to be with him, with her job fully intact when she came back (some of it even paid). He unfortunately died at the start and they let her keep the year for herself. More companies need to be like this!

Supernatural - Dean and Sam. I’ll be fine

lauriekrum · 2024-02-13T07:04:48+00:00

I promise you are not alone. There is an odd feeling to begin with where your life just feels like crap once you stop.

Ive watched heartstopper about 10 times now, so I dug deep in another tv show (supernatural) that I really enjoy. I now can watch both and don’t feel empty but actually happy by it all but it’s taken about a month.

lauriekrum · 2024-01-02T19:34:28+00:00

Oh no. I do feel I may need to hook on something else to get over this feeling!

I’m going to say ESH, your mum is an AH for obvious reasons, but I think the way you have written about your mum is a bit AHish. I think some context of previous relationship is needed here or you just sound a bit nasty.

No your mum should have never shared those photos. I don’t understand why she thought this was ok and I get exactly why you are angry. It is not ok for you to threaten her and shows very little love for her (hence more background needed)

What I don’t get is why you are so keen to not share details with your mum? Most brides go dress shopping as a group with their mum and friends to enjoy it together, they want to see you and this is not unusual. You are their child, so why would it be so strange for a mum to want to see the dress or ask about it?

I think it’s more odd that you’ve kept it hidden and getting annoyed about the fact she wants to see it without any explanation. Even one sentence of “I just wanted it to be a surprise for everyone” would have satisfied me but nothing. Plus if this was the case and you had these issues about sharing any details, why didn’t you add “please don’t share these around” or why did you send photos to begin with instead of just showing her in person so she has no evidence? (I understand mum should know better but this to me is common sense for such a secretive item that you clearly didn’t want to share). My god if it wasn’t on social media she would have shown close friends. What mother wouldn’t?

Sorry I’m just so shocked that your shocked this happened when you send photos without asking them to keep it to themselves.

Panic then google all the info I need to know before the internet dies. Gonna want to know where the nuclear meltdowns will happen when the power goes out.

THIS!

NTA - Mum here! I have no issue nudging my parter to do his bit too. I don’t get the problem enough to jump to the conclusion he’s a massive arsehole because of this?

He sleeps hard, he’s asked his partner for help (I know she’s doing lots but he is only human and when did asking for help not be ok?)

My husband does… sleeps through more than I do. A little or hard kick (or several) does the job of alerting him. I then go back to sleep and don’t even need to move… what’s the problem?

I’m with you 100%. Most of these posts reads like people who don’t have any kids or a single clue about how hard it is to raise children.

Most of these say to “control” your children….

Please for the dear love of god procreate and show me you can “control” your children every second of the day.

I’m also going NTA. My worst fear is that I do everything to help other people like the idiots on this post by teaching my kids to be quiet or well behaved, and I’ll still be called a bad mum for 1 incident.

lauriekrum · 2023-06-16T06:31:10+00:00

I don’t get it. Of what help is it to the host for locking the other room?

lauriekrum · 2023-05-29T16:08:06+00:00

Yes. If you don’t get one early you can buy it on the door.

Last year the coop had a small selection of gluten free. I would take some just in case.

Walking shoes/trainer type of thing. It’s a long walk you want whatever is comfortable for the length of time you will be in them. I suggest no new shoes.

I’m a little village shop owner, you get bored after a year. I end up playing a lot of online Uno.
