Im sure they'll be lots of judgement on here as always but here we go

I really wish I hadn't married my 1st husband. He was a loser and still is.
I find 99% of kids so dull

That I'm a Zionist. Although I've been getting braver about saying that these days, as a lot of the omnicausers have got bored and actually a lot of people are Zionists. I think that the watermelon brigade are the ones who should be embarrased, not us.

So you are proud of a colonial or ethnocentric ideology that led to the displacement, dispossession, and denial of rights for the indigenous population of Palestine.

How did you become rich?

Divorced well. Ex husband was fiddling and put investments in my name. So they became mine.

@maryingallsribbons I spent a large chunk of my childhood pretending my bike was actually a horse! Used to tuck it up in the garage every night!

My two boys who were around 25th both shot up late and are now 6'3" and 6'4". DD grew earlier and is 5'10". I'm a shortarse (5'3") and DH is just under 6'.

@2ndNatureTime to add to this, my middle son was tiny. I am 5’2“ and his dad not big. When he was 10 he still wore age 5 underpants! He’s now 25 and 6‘2“

Oh, here we go. You know nothing. 'Palestine' is not actually a country.

What is it? I might borrow it.

Honestly its way to cringy to even write down!

That being “trans” or “non binary” is a
load of fucking made up bullshit. Most people know I am “gender critical” but I am more measured how I frame it in real life.

I guess a few things I wouldn't say out loud

that I think most conversations are so dull and boring. humans, we really aren't that interesting. we are all basically the same.

I wish I had not married either husband they were both losers in their own way. maybe that makes me a loser too.. I don't know what I thought marriage was.. it just seemed to be endless servitude to different people to the husband to the children in-laws whatever

It would have been nice to have been in love with someone who loved me just a little bit more than I loved them but that never happened because I loved them more than they loved me

I think it's the same with friends that I liked them more than they liked me and sometimes I didn't find that out until decades later

For once I wish somebody would treat me to something. like plan a surprise for me. take me out to dinner plan a holiday something I would actually like and they paid for it.. I've never really had that. I've always been the giver and other people have been the receiver or taker

People who have no desire to travel abroad and have no interest in different cultures are boring and dull as fuck.

People who are convicted of drugs and fraud charges should not go to prison. Keep them on tag with strict conditions. Keep prison for the violent and sexual offenders.

Majority of Gen-Z are socially inept and lack critical thinking and problem solving skills and are entitled wet wipes.

Christianity, Islam and Judaism are awful religions and create more bad than good.

Ain't that the truth. I have to be very careful, though, because my job wouldn't take kindly to me being too outspoken. Not to mention that I have people in my family who are trans. I keep my mouth firmly zipped.

How hard i find having a chronic illness after years and years of been fit and mobile.
Every joint, muscle & nerve ending in excruciating pain that my medication only barely touches
If it wasn't for my sons, I would end it all tomorrow.

Islam is worse than the other two.

Oh come on play fair. I’m trenchant in my views about water use and not using hosepipes, but in the spirit of the thread, it’s not fair to criticise or people won’t post.

This. And also the people who try to counsel / question someone’s post - bore off.

Add Captain Holly Short on lead guitar and backing vocals, Butler on drums and Foaly as the stage tech guy and I think you've got a winner.

I don’t work in the summer holidays, most people in my line of work spend months counting down to the time off, but I’m the opposite. It’s very convenient for not having to worry about summer childcare though. I feel weird for feeling so meh about them as it’s such a ‘perk’ of the job that everyone else looks forward to, so just quietly go along with them.

There are good moments but I feel like it’s a bit of a slog overall and I’d rather get back to my normal routine. I was a sahm for a few years and by the end was sick of it and felt trapped, so maybe it’s because it reminds me of that time.

Edited

Me too! It always felt like drudgery and people are so envious I feel guilty. There was a reason I stopped being a SAHM and those long summers take me back there. BUT I'm guessing yours are young and something amazing happened this Summer. My now teens don't rise til mid morning and I come and go as I please. I have been for bike rides, gone to the city for coffee and a browse, had my nails done, met friends for lunch near their work place and basically done whatever I want for the past few weeks. It's absolutely nothing like it was a few years ago. I feel very lucky now having made it through those years

I think most men, genetically, are inferior to women. Not all. Some blokes are our equals, but 80-85%.

Same as I think the majority of white people are racist to some degree. Lower % than inferior men, but probably 50-60% of white people = racist.

Despite having been married myself, I think marriage is akin to legal prostitution. A bit less so these days when women aren't specifically marrying for security.

Being a SAHM is a stupid choice, given that most men can't be relied upon. Bad, bad choice.

I have a LOT more offensive opinions but these are my immediate thoughts.

Only if you marry for money, surely?

Shortbreadel · 11/08/2026 20:15

If several family members weren't family, I wouldn't have anything to do with them...

Depending on a husband for anything. House, income, the food you eat. If you're not funding half, he's paying to have sex with you.

hellofrommyothername · 11/08/2026 20:16

On some level, I really do believe I should have right of way everywhere and everyone else should accommodate me on the roads. Obviously I drive according to the actual rules.

Pushingback · 11/08/2026 20:17

I dislike 80% of my family (excluding my household).

I think my grandparent is a nasty, mean spirited, selfish person but carry on doing almost everything for them.

I will cut off 80% of my family when grandparent dies and I can’t wait.

My eldest child’s behaviour aged 7-15 made me depressed, suicidal and I felt exceptionally lonely. I don’t think I will ever fully recover.

I have emails to confirm a relative wanted to leave me their property of approx £500,000 value. I could have contested the will. I didn’t. Despite never having any money and it would have changed my life. Only I know about the emails along with one other person who benefitted from not making the requested change.

Halfblindbunny · 11/08/2026 20:17

Both my DH and my DS have had suicidal thoughts and I'm the common denominator in both their lives. So there is obviously something about me that makes those close to me want to kill themselves.

Would you say that about a man who earned less than his female partner?
