It might be the case that someone is genuinely being unreasonable, but what’s ‘reasonable’ is hard to define, as Neil Wilkie, relationship expert, psychotherapist and author tells us. I've been with my partner for just under a year now. He's wonderful for the most part: thoughtful, hardworking, kind, and a wonderful role model to my daughter (who thinks the world of him). All in all, things are good. I'm happy.

So it’s good to know where your personal starting point is when calling your rationality into question. Mumsnet’s hit forum Am I Being Unreasonable? is spreading its wings with the release of a new podcast hosted by Lucy Porter and Aasmah Mir. It’s good, but it’s not quite up there with “bottle and glass”, is it? According to Jonathon Green, it is positively unprecedented. I want to learn it. Teach me! OK, listen and repeat: SAHM means “stay at home mother”; D&V stands for “diarrhoea and vomiting”. It has now been announced by the family today that the Coroner, one Joe McCrisken, is finalising the Public Immunity Certificate as feared - date for its production to be confirmed - and there is another Preliminary Hearing tomorrow by Sightlink, (video). The next hearing date has been set for 21 June 2022, which just so happens to be the two-year anniversary of Noah's disappearance. The family understandably say that they have lost all faith in the inquest process for Noah and will seek further legal recourse when required. They feel that setting the date for Noah's anniversary is strategic and another example of the constant disrespect the state show towards them and Noah. The dates they choose are always significant days in their lives. But despite the sensitivity of the date, they intend to sit in court that day and no be absented from it via Sightlink video.

Is it unreasonable?

I’m guessing the first one means “you are not being unreasonable”. And the latter must be “on the other hand?” Very good. Now try FWIW and DH. I'm 60 and fully paid up and more on my NI. I spent ages looking for a paye job, got close a few times, but found I'd best spend my time earning money. What I do find difficult is that I get literally ZERO time to catch up with my friend on my own as we are surrounded by her family the whole time and I am expected to slot in with that. We never go out for coffee, for a drink, for dinner, nothing. Tbh I think that makes quite a bit of difference. Depending what part of America, one of those days could be taken up just by travelling. And then jet lag. And depending on the time of the end flight that could shave a day off at the end to. So really it could be something like 3 days. I’d want to spend it with my family too. I’d like to see my friends too of course, but my family would come first. I think you’ll either have to say no, and explain why, and be prepared for her to feel upset because she’ll feel like she’s travelled all the way arround the planet and you’re not willing to drive for 2 hours to see her (and Americans see a 2 hour drive as a short journey, tbh) or miss out on seeing her and arrange to see her over there (but that means shelling out money and having to fly there each time and you might not want to do that). Noah's mummy believes that someone harmed Noah and that there have been serious and repeated failings in the Police investigation of his death. She will never get to the truth and Justice for Noah if she does not get all the information. These four files are vital to get the truth she desperately needs, to find out what really happened to her precious son.

Kate adds that you could simply say what certain situations trigger in you, which would open up the conversation over what is and isn’t reasonable. Well I see this point of view myself. It's why I'm asking the question and why I've specifically mentioned how little holiday she gets. I really am not oblivious to this fact, it's why I want to know if AIBU. We have a large dog and several cats as well as small kids so cannot and simply do not want another 2 dogs. They are so loving but we haven't got the mental capacity for 2 more animals. My AIBU is this. When she is over in the UK she asks me to see her and I am usually given a time slot (say 8-11 on a Sunday morning) during which I visit her and her entire family and we sit in her parent''s house surrounded by her family. As empowered as women are, we’re still questioning ourselves and reaching out to untrained strangers for validation and support online.My husband (m35) is a bit of a fitness nut, he will take our eldest on hikes for miles, they did 10 miles once (keep in mind my eldest is only 8 now and youngest is 4) You can break this down by reflecting on: how defensive your partner is being, whether this is a recurring pattern, whether this impinges on a core value of yours, and if you feel unheard. Who is Jonathon Green? He’s a lexicographer and the author of Sounds & Furies: The Love-Hate Relationship Between Women and Slang. He claims these Mumsnet-based coinages are a rare example of slang being created from a female perspective. My husband and I have my two step children 8 and 11 overnight once every two weeks (he gets them an additional three times a week, monday Wednesday afternoon after school or all day during holidays and every Sunday. So we see a lot of them. However I find the overnights completely overwhelming, it doesn't help that we only have a 2 bed property so they have bunk beds in my 2 yo sons room, he loves his half siblings but it disrupts his sleep (and theirs) no end.
