Things I haven’t said out loud this week

1 - No, we haven’t asked you to come over for a meal in ages, no, I don’t care how many hints you drop, it’s falling on deaf ears.
I don’t expect you to help prepare or cook when you’re here BUT I do expect you to supervise your kids, not plonk down on the sofa and completely ignore them. Accidents may happen but if you actually looked after them instead of scrolling through your phones, we wouldn’t have had a house plant tipped over the carpet, used toilet roll and wee on the toilet floor, orange juice poured in the dogs bowl plus numerous others. Oh and by the way, we’ve never been invited over to your house in the eight years you’ve lived there!

2 - Im sorry your daughter would rather spend time with her gran but for god’s sake be honest, you spent the first ten years of her life bouncing from one disastrous relationship to another because you were desperate for a bloke. You put them in front of her needs. Her gran might not be perfect but at least she was there for her.

It's clear as day you don't have full time childcare - you're never online in the morning, and the smug references to "having the time to take your daughter to the park without having your work phone with you" speak volumes. You absolutely do not do compressed hours.

For the love of God, put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher. NOT ON TOP OF IT.

I love that you love spending time with your grandson but "playing it by ear" if you want to take him out of nursery for the afternoon sends me and DH into a spinning panic. If you want to spend time with DGS, MAKE A PLAN - go swimming, go to soft play. Don't, despite the warnings that it will be minus 5 degrees at 4pm, decide you want to take him to the park.

We are not a hotel - offer to cook dinner one evening, or hang the washing up, something, that does not make us feel like servants in our own home.

You are utterly shit at your job and everyone knows it. You're an embarrassment.

WhenWereYouUnderMe · 17/01/2024 23:24

And you're back. And fuck me, I still love you. And I think it's reciprocated. But we'll never say it. Let's ignore that and be friends. I'd rather have you in my life with limitations than not at all.

CostedStrikeRate · 18/01/2024 08:52

I have a plan to leave here

Snowflakecookie1989 · 18/01/2024 09:44

Meeting up with a couple of friends tomorrow but please talk to us about how we are,what we are up to and listen to US. Fed up of hearing all about you/turning the conversation to you every single time 🙄

Yes we live 4 hours away but quit moaning we can't come up to visit you as often as we are having to fork out £100 each time for a dog boarder,pay for petrol 😔

Don't know why you bother !

PurpleBrain · 18/01/2024 10:16

I've always checked in with you to see if you were ok with a text when you were ill / depressed throughout our 30 plus year friendship . When I was ill with the Flu type bug that's been going around I didn't hear from you for 4 days even though normally you text me everyday . On day 4 you bothered to ask how I am . When you knew I was on the mend . When you knew you didn't have to help if needed .

whatdidshedotogetahillnamedafterher · 18/01/2024 10:33

I put you in a win -win situation and still you lost. I hope to god you realise now how much of a shit position you are in due only to you. You are a hateful,using individual who ruins everything. I hate you. I am not the only one who has seen you for who you truly are this week.

Serenity45 · 18/01/2024 13:34

I don't like working with you. We have always been a lovely, supportive yet hardworking team. Lots of give and take and acceptance of everyone.

I can't put my finger on it but you make me feel very uncomfortable and I just think you're a wrong 'un. Only had this feeling twice before in my 50+ years on this planet and it served me well.

So while outwardly I am being my usual self I am watching you. We support some very vulnerable people and I'm not convinced you should have this job. I'm also aware this make me sound old and bitter when inside I'm still about 23...

MountainGoatLily · 18/01/2024 13:41

1 - bloody hell, your breath stinks. You need to do something about that.
2 - eh no it’s actually not ok you’re late because I need to leave soon for nursery pick up and I’ve got to do the food shop before that too
3 - and also you need to come back to finish the job because you’ve mucked it up?! Fuck fuck fuck OFF.
4 - WHY ARE YOU PARKED LIKE THAT
5 - no, I don’t want to celebrate you when you are a mean, miserly, resentful human being who doesn’t give a crap about us and probably never has. I wish I could go NC because I honestly think that continued contact with you is ruining my mental health and life but I’m scared of the wider consequences.

forget this week, that was just this morning!! 😅😂🤣

ofcourseyes · 18/01/2024 14:18

No, it's not the phone, you are going deaf.
Why do you never tell my brother that you can't hear him?

Grapefruitstars · 18/01/2024 16:30

You're a shit lazy dad. You make me cringe.

lonelyinyournightmare · 03/02/2024 18:58

Going pretty much as predicted. Such a poor decision.

Lentilweaver · 03/02/2024 19:14

I hate to say I told you so, but I did tell you so.

FerreroFan · 04/02/2024 00:09
  1. After all the times I have travelled the length and breadth of the country to celebrate/ commiserate all the tiny insignificant things in your small lives, hardly any of you made the effort to visit me during my life changing moments. Get lost - I'm done chasing after you. Enjoy the rest of your selfish little lives.

  2. I love you but you are so annoying! Stop expecting praise for doing things that you should be doing any way. You have taken on responsibilities so step up!

  3. Why do you always expect so much from me? I've realised it is not possible to please you. I'm proud of myself and that is enough. I'll help you but on my terms.

PriceMeByTheYard · 04/02/2024 00:28

They are your parents, not mine. The shit situation we are all now in is because of your selfish, stupid decision making. You have always been a fuck-up, as long as I have known you, and now your selfish, stupid behaviour has pissed off your parents, your brother (my husband) and your poor eldest child, who you have treated appallingly. But you just crack on - I'll look after your parents while you do whatever you like. Message me again, lecturing me about their needs, I fucking double dare you. Let's see how that conversation will go....

WhenWereYouUnderMe · 04/02/2024 15:49

I love you
I'm lonely
Who am I
I don't think I love you
I'm bored

Elephantsareace · 04/02/2024 19:01

That thing you arranged for my birthday, I know it's not really for my birthday, and it's not at all what I'd choose to do anyway.

MrsHamlet · 04/02/2024 19:03

You are useless at your job and noone respects you. Also, you're a despicable human cheating on your wife and pretending to be working late.

JaffavsCookie · 04/02/2024 19:07

You are one of the rudest, most entitled teenagers I have ever taught ( and that’s saying something).

HospitalitySux · 04/02/2024 20:47

Yes it is cold outside - it's fucking FEBRUARY! No one has a gun to your head making you come, or stay if it doesn't suit you, and no, we're not changing everything and pissing everyone else off so you can have what you want. And no, that's not rude. You're not the only person and you're not the centre of the universe. No matter how much you tantrum and threaten.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 04/02/2024 21:26

To my lovely 92 year old MIL: "I know! You told me ten minutes ago! And ten minutes before that! And last week. And the week before that and..." ad nauseum

To anyone: "soz" is more insulting than the thing you're "soz" for.

Lanneederniere · 04/02/2024 21:30

We see you for what you are, how you treat your wife and children.

You are a self-pitying, pathetic manchild playing the 'PTSD' card in public while ruining their lives in private. You know exactly what you are doing, and so does your slaggy affair partner.

Your ten year old daughter knows what you're doing more than your wife who sticks her head in the sand. No wonder she looks sad and nervous all the time.

Please move away.

NotDoingOk · 04/02/2024 21:53

I'm pleased that people are starting to catch on to what an asshole you are, and I hope to see you reap the consequences of your shitty attitude before I'm gone.
