...stop buying puppies from breeders FFS.

So sick of people popping up with the latest - inevitably moustachiod dull as fuck doodle - puppy that they've bought from some back yard breeder.

I love dogs. The people who do this never seem to really like dogs much, if they did they'd consider adopting one of the gazillions dumpbed post-lockdown (bought by moustachio-doodle loving twats just like them).

I know you think your son can communicate and are deeply offended by the label "non-verbal", but to the rest of the world, he's non-verbal because he cannot make himself understood in practically every situation because he finds speech a struggle.

Maybe instead of dragging him off to the doctor to medicate him because you think he's overly aggressive, you should listen to him telling you he finds verbal speech hard, learn to sign with him like he's asking you too (instead of shrugging his new signs off as "I don't know what you're saying mate") and then see if allowing him have a voice and communicate with people like he wants to helps him feel less frustrated all the time. It's been almost a decade, saying "I just think he'll start talking" clearly isn't working, is it?

Can you ask me a question for a change?

The running thought through my head in my short experience of dating sites

^this

PLUS stop putting lots of tacky shite all over the grave including helium balloons (aka wildlife killers) non biodegradeable plastic hearts and flowers. Why not just spend the money on a decent headstone instead of just leaving the “temporary” marker and all your litter.

Stop with all the helium balloon launches too! They don’t reach your loved ones in heaven - they kill wildlife on earth.

And on this note.. all the people who cover benches in bunches of flowers in cellophane. All year round. They pay for a plaque on the bench and then use it as a personal gravestone. All year round. So all year round no can sit on the benches because of rotting flowers, beer cans, candles and laminated photos of their loved ones. All along a walkway lots of people use . Which is very windy. What’s the point of having the benches at all?

Just because you think your daughter is Better than everyone elses doesn't mean the rest of us 1. Have to believe it or 2. Put her first.
We all think our kids are the best. It's the nature of motherhood!

You're not a quirky, bohemian one off who doesn't live by societies norms. You are a selfish ,self absorbed cunt and your children have such enormous MH problems because they live a life that is a totally chaotic mess.

THIS. YES.

Stop trying to be all alternative and spending money you don’t have on your ‘lifestyle’. I do like you so I still talk to you but part of that is that I genuinely feel for your kids and hope that they continue to come and talk to me when they need an ACTUAL grown-up.

You obviously don’t love dogs if you’re so keen to sneer at them because they are a popular breed.

it’s utterly impossible to get a dog from a rescue with kids. I don’t know anyone with a puppy who didn’t consider a rescue (including me)- but all were refused.

Also a few rescues said they had an increase in enquiries but there is absolutely not “gazillions” in rescues. There are very few popular breeds in uK rescues as usual and these dogs are still sold for a fortune.

Pretty much everyone I know got their dog from a breeder. There are hardly any dogs in uk rescues and they won’t let you have them anyway if you have kids, a job,etc.

Cannot be doing with breed snobs. Such a ridiculous thing to be a snob over.

so probably just as well you don’t express that opinion irl - it’s a bit daft.

It’s not impossible to get a rescue with young children. We’ve just done it, and had two other breed-specific rescue charities who we passed the checks for too. You just have to do your research and try smaller rescues.

You shouldn’t have a dog if you’re leaving them for 8 hours a day to work anyway. That’s why rescues are strict about work.

Puppy farming is immoral.

Oh L,he left you because he was unhappy in your sham of a marriage
your dv wore him down-stabbing him was the last straw
he didn’t met me and then leave you,he met H-remember?
you certainly sent enough bile their way
meeting me came after-and by god,I knew you existed
you’ve been clinging onto your dead marriage for 8 years because you are too scared to open your post!
well love,the bailiffs are coming round soon-they’ll make you sign-and if you refuse,the divorce will go through anyway
bahhahahahaha-I cannot wait-not because I want to marry him-but because it was his dads dying wish to get rid of you-he hated you from day one
oh and keeping the kids away from a loving dad?telling a then 7 year old what anal sex is,just to get back at him,spouting your bile at 1am-kids hearing you-it’ll all come back to bite you on the arse

F-you lying spiteful little bitch
the apple didn’t fall far from that tree did it?
yes,dad left your mother but he didn’t leave you-stop dumping that at his door
your mother did everything but dad is an easy way to dump your blame
you moved in,and I did everything I could for you-I went above and beyond for you
how did you repay me?
you tried to break us up,ripped your £500 prom dress up,smirked at our rows over you and live streamed them to your nutty mother,broke everything you could get your hands on,lied about me,stole from me,acted like we where made of shit and punched my sons dog
the only place your now welcome is granny’s house-only because she’s the nicest woman in the world and is scared of losing you
you treat a 73 year old woman like a servant,you treat her like shit on your shoe and once that woman has died-you’ll be on your own as your never coming here
youve refused to speak to your dad for months-but your back in touch now-after all it’s almost your birthday and you want money

marrying a rich man is your goal in life?
love,you simply don’t have the brains or the tits to find one who will marry you

CouldBeOuting · 17/10/2022 10:16

To my boss - for goodness sake stop grooming Dave (not real name) for management. He is NOT suitable for the role, has zero empathy, is a racist, homophobic bigot who pretends to work all day but is really just walking around with a clipboard getting in the way of and annoying those if us who are actually trying to work. If Dave dies get promoted when you move on/up then I know a huge amount of us genuine workers will simply leave.

Zofloraeverywhere · 17/10/2022 10:17

Yes, I probably would look quite a bit younger if I still coloured my hair but what part of allergic reaction don’t you understand? By the way, your roots are horrendous today and that hairstyle really emphasises your wobbly double chin!

MidnightConstellation · 17/10/2022 10:18

Please teach your entitled kids the meaning of the word ‘no’. Do not let them jump on adults, , jump on furniture, pull peoples socks off and make rude comments. Also teach them to say ‘thank you’. Also acknowledge the presents I send them or I’ll stop doing it.
By the way, they aren’t the geniuses you imagine they are.

TinaWeymouthsBass · 17/10/2022 10:19

Stop treating your 26 year old ds and 18 year old dd like babies, stop driving them everywhere and live in your house rent free...you're doing them no favours.
kick them out and get a hobby.

slowquickstep · 17/10/2022 10:19

To my ex husbands wife, he has cheated on you at least twice that i know of but i won't tell you as you are such a lovely woman and my Granddaughter adores you and she has already lost too many people from her life.

pistachi0nuts · 17/10/2022 10:19

Your dog doesn’t want to be your pet it would rather be with its mother and family living in a pack like it was before you chose it and snatched it away from its family with no choice. I don’t like your dog, its not cute, it ruins days out. Your dog doesn’t love you, it is forced to like you because you are the one who lets it out twice a day. I don’t find it charming when you bring your dog to lunch. If you really loved dogs you wouldn’t get one as a pet. The very idea is so cruel.

DenholmElliot1 · 17/10/2022 10:19

Stop dying your hair jet black. Your in your fifties ffs you ain't fooling anyone grow old gracefully x. Yeah. I said it.

whatwasIgoingtosay · 17/10/2022 10:19

You wouldn't need to use a food bank, nor to tell me about it with sad eyes and a low voice, if you didn't constantly spend money like water on expensive shit off the internet. I will not be offering you a penny to help. And ffs, spend a bit of that money you claim not to have, on that poor dog of yours, who is malnourished and never walked.

GingerPushkin · 17/10/2022 10:21

you have never been adult enough to be a parent- I have become completely exhausted and miserable by your behaviour over the decades.
I might be your daughter, but I am not responsible for your life or happiness- I wish I'd never got back in contact with you; I dread the coming years.

coffeeisthebest · 17/10/2022 10:21

Ooh love this thread!
Why are you so full of shit? Everything you say is patronising and you barely look me in the eye when we talk. You are my boss, I will not put you on the pedestal you seem to think you should be on. Fuck that. I don't think you are special, I think you are an arse.

Bananamaman · 17/10/2022 10:21

You can polish your "ethical consumer" halo or you can keep going on holiday to Dubai, not both. Luxury hotels are cheap there because they are built by indentured workers.

Oh sorry, I missed the full title of the thread. I don't like her either.

Wake and smell the coffee! Or jolly good luck to you - you will need it !

Fladdermus · 17/10/2022 10:24

My very positive friend. I can't bring myself to tell her she's the most negative person I've ever met. Her assertions about what a positve person she is is usually accompanied by a session of epic moaning and negativity. Does my bloody head in.

I hear you. And you're right, you are not responsible

I judge you for not vaccinating your kids.
