Tell the truth and shame the devil

[Olivetoil]

Had a hard day and feeling nostalgic for a loved one who used to say this in a lighthearted way so thought I'd start a thread for us to share if anyone want to

Mine are- I secretly want a day or two's mini drama so I can bunker down at home and smugly drink my extra supply of biscuits teabags and long life milk.... don't get me wrong I don't want anyone to starve!! A power cut or snow would do it or maybe even brexit, waves to any preppers

My second one is I have a favourite sibling. It changes though! Plus I don't have a favourite child so at least that's something....

You must all be pure of heart! I thought of a few more but I'd essentially be talking to myself!

Ah ok then, since no one asked. I think I'm pretty good looking, until I see myself in a picture

Completely not the point of the thread but some people just don’t photo well. One of the best compliments (and biggest effing reliefs) I’ve ever had was a very honest friend telling me I photo badly.

When my children were little I used to fantasise about needing a hospital stay - nothing life threatening but three or four days of bed rest with no visitor allowed..

Oh and I really do have a favourite child...

I really want to pull a sickie tomorrow. I am just done in and wish I had a excuse to not go to work. I want to have the house to myself without the kids or DH around so I can watch whatever I want and sleep.

@petitdonkey I totally get you there!
At least twice a week I have this instantaneous dual thought process where I'm telling the kids off for leaving their toys on the stairs and I'm also fantasising about falling on those toys and having a week of bedrest!

Btw OP I have a favourite child.
My favourite child is directly related to the amount of laundry they have generated and the number of times they have woken me in the last few days

I have a least favourite child 90% of the time. She’s such a sod at the moment, and I’m desperately hoping my feelings change when her behaviour improves 😩

No favourite child but I fantasise every day about going away for a few days all on my own. Log fire, nice food, some good books and a lovely view all to myself. No chance.

Ive got a least favourite child. (Well he's a great big 30 year old and a bit of a git)
I have to go to our closest city twice a year for an appointment. Dh arranges his day off to go with me. I delay telling him so I can go alone without hurting his feelings and I can happily mooch without him sighing

I'd love a few weeks compulsory stay at home. I also fantasise about bed rest - I just want to read books and let someone else do the washing, cleaning and cooking!

I'm going all alone on a mini break to see a friend who lives in Foreign.

Accidentally such a liar cocked up the flight bookings.

So now I'm staying an extra night.

Oh so many Oops.

I want to be isolated for a week and not have to talk to people

lookimahooman thanks I'll tell myself I just photograph badly and am still doing not bad for a knackered mum.... the mirror is definitely kinder than the camera!

Oh yes I need to go to hospital quite regularly but alas not to stay over. I've often willed my temp to be a bit too high or something minor to warrant an overnight stay

I also have a favourite sibling and a detested least favourite. No favourite child as only one DD, tho if anyone fancies taking her off my hands for a few days.......

Bloody teenagers.

And I have Sky+'d ALL the Doctor Pimple Poppers and can't out myself as a popaholic as everyone I know would be disgusted

I wasn't at work today (part time). DH thinks that I spent the day getting a load of housework/laundry/life admin stuff done, in truth I did most yesterday while he was doing the garden with the DC and I spent the day watching movies on Netflix. Well until the school run...

Sometimes I want to opt out of life and slob about like some sort of nesting student like zombie. Eat shit, watch crap, sleep all the time.

My husbands tongue gives me the rage when he inadvertently sticks the tip out when he’s laughing, or being happy. I want to slice it off with a scalpel.

I think I'll wait 'til it gets a bit warmer outside.

I had a month in hospital a couple of years ago (I came home at weekends because the ward would close then). It was absolute bliss and I didn't miss home one bit!

I pretend I work really hard when I'm at work, but I skive constantly.

I ate half a stale white loaf of bread today instead of crumbing it to freeze. Lovely with a slab of President butter. Dreadful. Sinful. Deliciousness.

The place I work at the moment occasionally sends people to 'site'. I'm kind of hoping I have to go to site at some point for a break.

Accidentally such a liar cocked up the flight bookings.

So now I'm staying an extra night.

You have just given me a wonderful idea....

I'm sad for all of you who want a break. I think it's ok to take one sooner rather than later.

I'm currently having a break by being pregnant and having horrendous nausea/vomiting. It's not exactly fun but it is nice to hide upstairs for an hour or two and play on the tablet..

I have a preferred sibling but they have a tighter bond with my detested sibling. If we are telling the absolute truth i'd love to tell the one that if would just drop the rose tinted spectacles they would see that the other is a poisonous creature with no redeeming qualities

Bish.. I feel your pain. I had that feeling for about a year with my dd. She didn't sleep longer than 90 mins at a time. It drove me to the brink and I resented spending time with her during the day because she was a demon from tiredness. Once I reached out for help it started to improve. She's the love of my life now. Love spending time with her (even if she does still drive me nuts!)
