Welcome to the second round of Aunty Fran’s Agony Aunt Column.
I have to be honest, the series has lasted at least twice as long as anyone expected it would, You can read the first episode here.
Don’t forget you can submit your own problems, woes and worries here. It’s anonymous! I can’t guarantee that each and every problem is a real one, but I certainly did not make them up myself.
First up on this sunny Sunday we have Nigel the Dickhead.
I very much hope this is a joke, but I’m on the edge of my sanity and the red zone today so don’t mess with me.
Next, we have Steve, who has lost his spatula.
I’m not saying the quality of submissions has gone downhill but I might have to start making them up completely if this doesn’t pick up soon.
Chantilly is doing a wee bit of humblebragging.
Probably.
Yukka (not her real name) is just saying what we were all thinking.
I mean, I feel like this sometimes and my dog is a proper arsehole.
Fear not, Caroline.
As the parent of a seven year old I can feel your pain here. I can’t fix it, but I can feel it.
Smelly Susan is our next submission.
And finally, here is Baba Ganoush
With a quite frankly too-long problem about something or other.
Dear Aunty Fran,
How can I get my 8 year old son to stop leaving his clothes in school and then denying he ever took them? He’s lost 2 jumpers and a coat in the 3 weeks he’s been back in school. His sister used to do a good job of scooping things up but she’s now gone to secondary school and he’s clueless. His teacher and TA seem indifferent to my plight. Help!
Dear Jo,
I believe sending him naked would probably fix the issue however you would probably be liable for future therapist views. Have you tried attaching them to his skin? With some kind of adhesive, I mean. Not sewing them.
Love, Aunty Fran
