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.

Stop blaming the world for your choices and get a back bone. Oh and you getting a toothout does not compare with my incurable cancer - you don’t know how I feel you thick gold digging cow.

Why after being divorced for 40 years, for DV, and you having no contact with DS for 35 years do you think I would tell you where he now lives or what his phone number is. Are you fucking mad!

I just deleted the text on messenger instead.

I did tell DS though. He just laughed and said no a hope in he'll would he contact him.

I am justing putting my rubbish out, DH has yet again left glass recycling in the wrong bin, my 17 year old DS is still in bed and has 15 minutes to get dressed and get to college, my 13 year old DD needs my intermittent reassuring mutterings as she is vexed about her hair, non existent pimples and finding her p.e kit, therefore, I cannot speak to you again neighbour about the overgrown vegetation behind our homes; why have I been elected street spokesperson, you (neighbours) are mostly retired and have all the time in the world!

Goldenbear · 06/03/2024 11:44

Oh and please get the hint that I am in work clothes and trying to catch a train like I do the same days every week, like you acknowledge when walking your cute but yappy dog, who prolongs the conversation as no one can hear themselves think.

Bloody Santander

XenoBitch · 06/03/2024 22:28

I know you are trying to do what you think is best, and all I can do is nod along and be there for you... but you are a fucking idiot. She is abusing you, and you are accepting it as you say it is not her fault due to illness. There is never any excuse for how she is treating you.
I really hope the police keep her in this time, and get her sectioned. You are a prisoner in your own home, and you refuse to see it.

EchoChamber · 07/03/2024 06:29

It’s too late. Just because you’re old and scared and want me around to help you is not a reason for me to care now. You’ve let me down all my life and I’m done with it.

Lentilweaver · 07/03/2024 08:14

Why is adulthood all about filling out bloody forms and doing housework every sodding day?

MinnieMountain · 07/03/2024 10:31

I did tick the box to say DS can walk home from school alone you idiot at the school office. I’m very thorough at paperwork. You clearly are not.

halfpasteleven · 14/03/2024 22:23

You're not the professional I thought you were and I'm done with you.

SeecretSauce · 14/03/2024 22:35

I really, really, and I mean really want to fuck you.

Zephirine · 14/03/2024 23:15

No I don’t want you piggybacking onto my idea and turning it into your idea. I don’t want a different activity every week. I just want to sit with my group and do my own thing like everyone else and like we have been doing for the past 12 months.

MissingMoominMamma · 14/03/2024 23:46

You aren’t friends, you’re acquaintances. Friends wouldn’t behave how you have.

Toooldtoworry · 15/03/2024 06:10

You are a mean spirited, difficult, opinionated, partially educated (in this area) know it all, and you think I'm going to let you bully me into giving in. Good luck because I've found my mojo.

OneBigShenanigan · 19/03/2024 12:12

I haven't said your name out loud today yet. I think that's the first time in about 670 days.

Your name is choking me though. I can't get over it. I can't get over you.

marshmallowfinder · 20/03/2024 22:13

FFS, it's BOUGHT, not brought. They certainly do not mean the same thing.

IWanderedLonely · 20/03/2024 22:14

I want to die

Telomeres · 21/03/2024 10:13

Oh @IWanderedLonely I hope you don't feel the same today ❤️

Lentilweaver · 21/03/2024 11:03

Really hope that changes for you @IWanderedLonely Sending you hugs from a stranger.

Today, I want to say: Well that didn;t work so FUCKING well, did it? I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.

Daffodilsandtuplips · 21/03/2024 11:24

I’m so proud of my dd for taking care of your grandson and without her help he’d be in care now, while his mum is in hospital but she’s had no word from any of you. Not one word to ask how he is, not one phone call to ask how his mum is, nothing, it’s been ten days. We aren’t related to you, my dd is a true friend.
His Social workers care more than you do. Despicable.

UsernameTaken76 · 21/03/2024 11:28

Aaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh. Please please no more questions try and find the answer yourself rather than just asking me to do the thinking.

billyt · 21/03/2024 16:28

That I lost my wife in January and hate waking up every day. That I fucking cry every night.

And I can't tell anyone because I need to be the strong one for my daughters and grandsons.

WhatADayToHaveEyes · 27/03/2024 18:06

You spend several hours a week moaning about this fairly simple WFH admin job and crying when you’ve been nudged to get some actual work done by our boss so NO, I do not think quitting and going for teacher training is right for you. The kids will not play nice and you can’t sit around in your pjs reading all day!

I'm so sorry for your loss 💐

Oh please no... save me from having to try to train yet another totally unsuitable person.
