Things I haven’t said out loud this week

I politely told you last week that I didn’t want to involved, I haven’t changed my mind.
You’ve sidelined your dad for over a decade , in favour of your mum.
Are you really surprised that he’s moved on with his life rather than being hung on the back of the door for you?
You can’t expect him to change his Christmas plans because yours have gone wrong. You’re an adult, act like one, the world doesn’t revolve around you.

I'm shattered and it's only Monday.

I don't want to spend an entire day with my extended family on Friday either. Dreading it already.

cosimnotwhereitsat · 15/12/2025 17:28

I am scared

"The issue with your child is that they need parenting. They need boundaries set clearly and consistently so they can understand and follow them.

They behave like this because they are crying out for your attention and play up because you do your tinkly laugh and shoo them off again"

Grow up, you are a 30 year old mother you do not need to be treated like a precious princess at work who needs everyone to tell you how amazing you are. You really aren't!!!

Stop belittling every single thing I say, do, you are not perfect, you do not live my life so stop trying to tell me how to! Weekend with family has not left me in a happy place!

I am seriously irritable this week so far!

TheNightingalesStarling · 15/12/2025 17:57

Mum, you keep saying I look exhausted one minute, and the next you are asking me to drive 200 miles. Then the next saying its not fair on me to have to pick up DH from the train station occasionally. Make you mind up.

CatrinVennastin · 15/12/2025 18:00

There are so many rude and entitled people coming into work (retail) it’s a wonder I haven’t told someone to fuck off yet.

ohyesido · 15/12/2025 18:02

You carry a heavy burden of guilt and I hope the shame keeps you awake night after night until you face up to it

AbbieLexie · 15/12/2025 18:03

Inviting people for Christmas day

KitchenDancefloor · 15/12/2025 18:05

Stop fishing for confidential information. Every time you do it my respect for you drops.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 15/12/2025 18:09
  1. Shove your bottomless brunch up your arse
  2. Your son is a thug but the worst thing is you’re proud of it
  3. I’ve spent much less on your child at Christmas than my friends children because your child is rude and obnoxious
  4. I might play nice because it’s Christmas but you’re a shit who I only think about with anger
  5. She’s not the Queen Bee you think she is
Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 15/12/2025 18:10

Being given 5 chocolate coins is not an acceptable way for a manager to say thanks for the years work. Shove it where daylight doesn’t reach.
No. I don’t want to hear from you during the holidays nor do i want to take you out and be your taxi service. I want peace and quiet and no moaning for five minutes.
Christmas can fuck off.

QwertyAtThirty · 15/12/2025 18:14

Why the fuck would you message me that there are "loads of hot dogs in the fridge for dinner" when you've eaten all the buns except one? Are we supposed to have 1/4 of a bun each??

Stop singing in the office! You're not even a good singer!

And to the DC, who are both ill and want cuddles: Just. Stop. Touching. Me.

I'm a miserable cow 😬

cosimnotwhereitsat · 15/12/2025 17:28

I am scared

Are you ok? If you're in danger please try to talk to someone.

ItsFridayIminLoveJS · 15/12/2025 18:30

Don't blame me.. l didn't make the rules.

You have told me that same thing 10 times already.

My pain is important to me as much as your pain is important to you.. it's not a competition.

Get over yourself ( to many people).

Oh shut the f##k up! (To many people).

bonnemaman1990 · 15/12/2025 18:43

I don’t care that my grand fathers dying

HappyFace2025 · 15/12/2025 18:47

What about me? I'm older than your in-laws!

fondoutcheese · 15/12/2025 18:49

Fuck off nosey

I just want some fucking sex, for once

snugasabug75 · 15/12/2025 18:51

You spent my whole childhood pasting two tonnes of shit into each other, then sent me to live with my grandparents as you were both too busy in the pub. I stupidly went back home as a teen as I thought I could stop you drinking. I've now severe metal health problems as a result and you wonder why I'm low contact! Yet I'm the bad one in the family 😔

TinselTina · 15/12/2025 18:55

mil is staying after an operation shes lovely but she asks so many questions and its hard work. I am not one of the worlds carers

marmaladeteal · 15/12/2025 18:55

I love you dearly my friend but please make a decision sometimes and stop following me around. Be pro active for yourself even if it’s just occasionally.

dms1 · 15/12/2025 19:01

You’re a shower of professionally immature, praise dependent b•tches and I really couldn’t give a sh•te what you think. I’m here to work, not socialise so f•ck right off & enjoy that secret WhatsApp group all you like (yes, I know about it. And I couldn’t care less) And you’re nowhere near as good at your job as you think you are. You’re nothing but a cliquey set of queen bees and wannabes, I cannot wait to retire and I hope when you’re my age your perimenopause is scorching and lasts for decades. Stop unplugging and moving my f•cking fan. A•seholes.

NorthernDancer · 15/12/2025 19:02

FFS, your DF has incurable cancer and is Not Very Well. Can you not see that it is unreasonable to expect him to drive 300 miles in a day to attend a 2 hour birthday party in the germ soup that is soft play, when his immune system is compromised by his 'treatment'.

way2serious · 15/12/2025 19:05

You called yourself my friend but never get in touch to see how I am. You completely dropped me .

I am fed up of you being p*ssed every single night and incapable of ever having sex. You made promises you have never kept.

i hope your children treat you the way you treat your parents and that you end up all alone on your death bed.

you are an ignorant racist

sorry I seem to have lots of strong negative feelings tonight!

B0D · 15/12/2025 19:05

I came into work early to try and work in peace and you have been talking at me for the last half an hour. I appreciate you live alone and I’m your first person (victim) of the day but Can I please start work now ?

Pancakeflipper · 15/12/2025 19:12

Oi - teenage DS
When you walk in the house and I'm all smiles and "hello love, has it been a good day?" Try not uttering the grunt. Why not do something radial like ask me how my day has been if you don't fancy talking about yours?
