Wide awake, cant sleep....

Tell me a secret 😁

You should of said Light hearted on the thread title….

You may get some dark responses

I'm a lemonade drinker

I have a favourite child

I deliberately set out to lie about who my child's father is. Nobody knows, not the biological father, not my child's non bio father, not anyone. I 100% did it on purpose when I found out I was pregnant and fudged the dates a bit to make it look more real.

Its been years and he and I aren't together but he loves my child and my child loves him and I don't regret it for a moment.

Tell us yours first!

I don't believe a lot of the stuff I read on mumsnet. When I do believe something, it turns out to be false.

@Downadarkdarklane I'm sure you had your reasons at the time but this will come back and bite you one day,100%
Technology is to great for a circumstance not to arise making the truth come out. And the broken heart of your poor DC when it does

@featherbird that worries me every single day.

The circumstances of conception weren't the best so I chose the lesser of 2 evils, or so I thought, at the time technology wasn't quite what it is now.

I fucked up thinking I was doing what was best and now I don't know how to get out of it.

@Downadarkdarklane
I feel your pain. I can't say too much as I'll out myself but I very much know and felt the fall out of this situation. I'd fess up if you can now the alternative will be worse.
You'll need plenty of too.

So sorry that you've been here too @featherbird

I wouldn't know where to start quite honestly, too many years have gone by, I can't imagine starting the conversation.

I made my bed, I'll just have to lie awake in it and wait for the inevitable and then try and pick up the pieces of the mess I created I guess

@Downadarkdarklane
It was 40 odd years.

@featherbird I'm over a decade into my lie now. DNA testing was a thing, but all this ancestry stuff wasn't.

Not only have I got to worry about my kid finding out their dad isn't their biological dad, but I have to worry about the conception coming to light and the possibility of contact with the biological father too. Its honestly a massive mess largely of my own creation. I would have been better going it alone and saying he was a one night stand. Hindsight is 20/20.

Not RTFT.

I'm in love with you

I've recently Googled how to break my own waters because I want this damn thing out of me!

Ooo some good secrets here!!!

Mine ...Im squirrling away ready for when I LTB

@downadarkdarklane i did this. All went tits up. Still trying to clean up the mess

I don’t wear knickers

All my friend think I am a vegetarian.. but I am not.

@XenoBitch can I ask why they think that?!

That reminds me of Pam in Gavin and Stacey pretending to be a vege

[quote Mymapuddlington]@XenoBitch can I ask why they think that?![/quote]
I was in a relationship for years with a veggie. Was easier to say we were both one. We split up, and it kind of stuck. I figured it makes me go for slightly healthier choices if I am eating out with friends now.

Ah I see.
Are you ever really jealous when you’re eating a veggie option and they’re tucking into steak and chips or something?

@Downadarkdarklane my Aunt did this. It became an open secret amongst the older females over the years apparently
Her husband died when my cousin was very young and she thought she was off the hook. Until last year when her other child bought one of the DNA kits for themselves and his sibling and the whole thing kicked off. Neither of her sons are speaking to her currently. Also because of her keeping her mouth closed for the best part of 50 years, not only has my cousin had to process the effects grief had on his development for a man who was not his Dad, he has missed out on getting to know his actual father because he died 5 years ago. He and his brother are also trying to get their heads round many of the family knowing all along too.
It's an absolute clusterf*ck of a mess.
