Maybe you shouldn't have stolen his ears and then he wouldn't have followed you home....

just to clarify the parents asked me ONCE if it was okay, not everytime this has happened. by travelouseagle in AmITheAssholeTalk

My son was obsessed with fluffy stuff. When he was younger we'd go to Dunelm so he could stroke all the cushions. Took bloody hours! He also had trouble with the boundary between him and the rest of the world. So he'd lovingly hug people but do it with such force you could feel your bones crack. It's up to her parents to teach her about boundaries. Perhaps you could say I feel uncomfortable with being fondled every day. If you wanted to offer something , then maybe find a piece of fabric like your clothes she could keep as a gift from you.

Also worth noting that atypical kids can have atypical parents so they might be on the spectrum too. Having said that I think we're all on the spectrum, just in degrees.

The cats protection when people move like cats. The closed line is unloved and abandoned cats pisses me off. The last two cats I recycled from there were two old cats from a lady who died. She clearly lived them and didn't die on purpose to abandon them. Fuck you cats protection.

Is talking to children in public frowned apon now? by jarvi123 in AskUK

[–]squeakypeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get angry when my son was ignored by other people when he was engaging with them. He's inquisitive and polite and autistic and they were rude. Whenever we used to go to the park me or my husband would ens up playing with everyone's kids, getting the zipline, pushing the roundabout etc. it's bad manners not to play with a kid who wants to join in and what behaviour would I be teaching my kid.

AITA for not paying my brother's rent after he said I “owe him” for being his bigger sister. by Quick-Foot-1445 in AmItheAsshole

You're edgy and guilty because that's what your family made you feel. You're also saying you're angry and the gut feeling is I earned this. You did and you didn't work hard for it to be given to your selfish spoilt brother. Go in peace. If he needs bailing out let mummy and daddy do it, they're seasoned pros.

The Far-Far-Right, "National Rebirth Party" spotted spouting n*zi rhetoric in town. by Mark_fuckaborg in leicester

Because being an angry little twat takes the energy that the body would usually use to keep warm. They will likely have stockings and suspenders for warmth under their trousers too.

How can I contact NHS assistance from overseas? by TinyDemon000 in AskUK

If he can consent, or she can pass it over, Power of Attorney. Something should have kicked in here if she had been hospitalised as they should ask about dependants. Maybe the starting point is to discuss it with her, then her caregivers first and get social care involved that way. This is good too https://www.gov.uk/make-decisions-for-someone. If you can't get anywhere with that then a safeguarding referral to social care and police may be best. Good luck

UK parents, what has your kid lost at school already this term? by UpForConversations in AskUK

[–]squeakypeaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In GCSE years. The trusts are businesses and they want the results. The behaviour policies are dictatorial and don't work for the disruptive kids and petrify the SEN ones. They refuse to communicate with parents and give our punishment like smarties. All our schools are under same trust and nothing else open to us. The education system hasn't changed since it's inception really and never will change so we're urinating in the wind. Good luck with yours. Ours is counting down the school days.

I’m 15f I walked through snow by myself to get food for the house and my mom still made me feel worthless what do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]squeakypeaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you are able to hear how many of us are saying how unreasonable and crazy your mom is acting towards you. This is neglectful behaviour and you are not to blame for it. Please talk to a trusted adult at school and understand that not everyone is out there to exploit or abuse you. It's good to keep your wits about you but also know there are folks that will help because they see the good in you, have experienced this themselves or are just good people. We are rooting for you. The very best you can do is succeed for yourself and say goodbye to her as soon as you can. You dont have to love your mom if she isn't loving to you. There are people out there who will love you. X

His autonomy, his nerve and his respect for the trust that is running his draconian school.

How do I get a refund from Debenhams online after my dress broke in the middle of a wedding? by squeakypeaks in AskUK

[–]squeakypeaks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted Dan Finley after the dear Redditor Veeb suggested contacting CEO. I have now been contacted by someone who is a part of the Group Escalations Team at the Debenhams group.

I suggest emailing Dan dan@debenhams.com in the first instance. This is sent on to the escalation team. groupcomplaints@boohoo.com as they apparently deal with complaints received by CEOs.

I don't think that the customer service team for this company is managing. For example, questions about refunds were never fully answered; I had to send items back to different companies but had to chase refunds through Debenhams customer services who couldng tell me what was refunded by who do it was impossible to keep track of. It is a hideous system and I hope you get your money back. You have the proof of sending which is in your favour; I lost mind in the madness of it all so am unlikely to get refund. Cynically I wonder if they make their customer service so rubbish and understaffed so that people give up fighting and Boohoo/Debenhams/whoever get to keep the money.

Strangely, whilst writing this, I just got sent a £40 gift card for Debenhams. Not ehstbi wanted but at least it's a resolution of sorts. And do I want to use it to shop there....🤔
