I've been thinking about this for a while and i think I would do rather well. Below is an example. Please tell me what you think and if I should be the "Agony Aunt" more often. Here is a parenting problem I feel I could help with.....................

----------------------------------------------------------

Three months ago, I moved into my boyfriend’s house as we had been together for a year and felt that we wanted to be together full-time I have two girls of 6 and 9, and he has a son of I0. His son is causing me endless problems. He is constantly cheeky to me when his Dad isn’t around, then denies it if I tell his Father about it, and usually, my boyfriend just makes up excuses for the boy’s behaviour. He is also nasty to my children and sometimes breaks their toys, and once, he pulled the heads off all of their favourite dolls. He told his Father that it was an accident, and he believed him. My boyfriend doesn’t believe in smacking as punishment, and normally neither do I, but sometimes, I feel like hitting him. I love my boyfriend and don’t want to leave, but I will have to if this situation doesn’t get resolved soon. What do you suggest I do?

WYorksDeano's Advice is.....................

Although you don’t mention it, I suspect that this boy is a red-head. They make notoriously bad step-children. Firstly, when your boyfriend is out and his odious kid does something wrong, batter him. When the brat tells his Dad, protest that you did nothing of the sort. If he believes the kid’s lies, he will believe yours. Secondly, if he has any special toy, say, an action man, behead it and then cut a hole in action man’s bottom. Insert the severed head, informing the kid that this is what you’ll do to him if he breaks your children’s toys again. Failing all that, lock him in his room whenever his Father isn’t there.

Sounds like an Eastenders storyline...

Somehow I suspect gender reassignment would be an essential first step :D

I'd have recommended just slyly filming the kid being rude, say on a mobile video camera. Then there's your proof :nod:

I think WYorksDeano probably has the making of an Agony Aunt.

Can WYorksDeano please give me some advice over a problem some friends of mine have been having with their wayward son.....

My friends live in a comfortable house, and have recently paid off their mortgage early. They've never taken a holiday since they married, as they scrimped and saved to own their house outright.

Now, at last, they can afford their dream holiday of a month's cruise around South-East Asia and Australia. The problem is their wayward son. He is awful to his parents. He stays up until all hours playing loud music, never lifts a finger to wash pots, dust or do any housework, has never earned a penny since leaving school and has no interest in getting a job whatsoever. He is just lazy.

My friends don't feel they can trust leaving him at home on his own whilst they go on a cruise for a month. They've asked me for my advice, but I really don't know what answer to give them.

What do you think WYorksDeano - should my friends leave their son at home on his own, or pay to take him with them on this cruise of a lifetime? He is 38 by the way.

WYorksDeano replies:

38 year old and still living with mummy and daddy? Is this lad a virgin or something?

Why should his parents that have scrimped and saved pay any money for this lazy no good son of a ***** to go on holiday. My advice is simple. His parents should save just a little bit more money and buy some Class A drugs. Hide the drugs in his room, then inform the police that they believe their son is dealing drugs.

Not only will they be able to go on holiday for the month, but this 38 year old will eventually come out of prison a changed man, with "Bubba" as his "special friend".

Many thanks WYorksDeano. I've passed on your suggestions to my friends, and they think this is indeed the solution to their problem. Well done. :thumbsup:

I wonder if you might be able to give some further Agony Aunt advice with a rather delicate problem that my sister has contacted me about?

Sis has just moved to live in an old, terraced house, where the bedroom walls are rather thin. It seems that the couple next door get very amorous in bed every night, with much shouting and whooping. This goes on for hours on end.

Because of this noise, poor Sis is not getting much sleep and is now getting to work feeling very tired and jaded, and cannot concentrate properly on her work.

Sis really doesn't know what to do. She says she feels too embarassed to say anything to them. They're a very kind couple and have even invited my Sis to the forthcoming 75th birthday party of the guy next door.

What advice can you give my Sis WYorksDeano? Please help!

WYorksDeano replies:

I too used to have this problem. My neighbours used to be very good at it and sometimes I could have given them around of applause........but it's very hard to do with one hand.

Is your sis complaining because she isn't getting any action. For all she knows maybe they are swingers, and the invite to this party is to ask her if she would like to join in.


It is pointless your sister going around to complain, after all whats that saying " if the bed is rocking don't come knocking". I feel that she should get some stud to come around just for the night, so your sister can also enjoy the pleasure her neighbours are having. Now from looking on these forums if your sister speaks to slimsid, he will certainly be up for the action. At the moment he is into cats and dogs, but I am sure that he will love some human contact.

If all else fails, she just needs to shout whilst they are at it. The words "quick your husbands walking up the path might work"

I really do think that you've got what it takes to be an Agony Aunt WYorksDeano. I must applaud you on the depth of your insight into these tricky problems, and also your ability to think laterally and come up with some cracking solutions. You are the modern day Marjorie Proops! :clap:

I've rung my Sis. She likes the idea of a stud coming round for the night, but as she lives near Portsmouth, thinks she'll manage to find one a little closer to home than the forum member you've generously nominated for the position.

If anyone else I know has a little problem in the future, I know exactly who I can go to for help. Thanks WYorksDeano.

Oh dear me. I've got a little problem, which is causing me some distress. I need some advice from our budding Agony Aunt, WYorksDeano.

It's about my cousin Walter. He's quite a shy lad, but of late seems to have come out of his shell. Indeed, he surprised us all by inviting us to his engagement party! Wow! This is the first girl-friend he's ever had!

Naturally, the family is very pleased for him, especially as he's 42 now, balding, gap-toothed and has to wear those extra thick lenses in his glasses due to his very poor eyesight. The trouble is, we think his fiance, who calls herself Melanie, is really a man who's into cross-dressing.

Our Walter is just so happy. But should we spoil it all for him by telling him of our concerns? Should we confront Melanie? What do you advise us to do WYorksDeano? Please help!
