Still make me cry?! FFS! I just watched Flika 3. Possibly the shittest film I've ever seen, but I still cried!

I cry at stuff on TV or youtube ALL the time. It's really hard when other people are in the room and I have to pretend I've just yawned or just rubbing my eyes. Martin Clunes did a thing about dogs last week and I swear I just cried the whole way through it.

This never used to happen before I had children!

It must be a worse film than I thought!

Ah, I cry at practically everything and don't even try to hide it.

I've not got kids either so can't use that as an excuse!

The programmes that really get me are ones like DIY sos or Extreme Makeover, Home Edition!!

I was crying at the Richard lll stuff!!!

The weddings/proposals on 'friends' get me evry time...prob cos I have no man!!!!

I cried on a tracey Beaker episode once!!!

Yes, another blubberer, here.

I used to cry when reading Yertle the Turtle, to my DC, and don't get me started on Private Peaceful, or the chapter when Harry Potter goes into the woods to meet Voldemort!

I cry at EVERYTHING. It's mortifying sometimes, espesh. when the full on sobs come but I can't help it! Much loved characters in tv series dying is good one to get the tears flowing. Even when I've seen the episode a thousand times and I know it's coming Joyce Summers I'm looking at you.

I'm a cryer at the best of times - guess what it's like now I'm pregnant!!!

degutastic · 06/02/2013 18:36

I cry at anything too Blush I can emotionally invest in even rubbish films (you know the late night obscure channel sort which you rationally know are daft but still I end up blubbing?!). Which is odd as I rarely cry in "real life". I have many tear stained books (Sirius dying in HP, virtually every Morpurgo book going etc) and have cried every time I've watched Love Actually, which isn't even a sad film Hmm

No kids or pg hormone excuses either Shock

I cried at Santa Paws

The kids laughed.

I've always cried at everything, no matter how shit the acting or how poor the script. It provides amusement for my family ay least....

SamuelWestsMistress · 06/02/2013 20:55

It's so bad. But I'm glad I'm not alone! Crying at DIY type programmes really does make you question yourself hahaaaa!

Crying at that carphone warehouse ad a few years ago where the little mobile phone is chucked out onto the street because his owners no longer want him.

That was a particular low point.

I'm actually considering getting my tear ducts botoxed.

and have cried every time I've watched Love Actually, which isn't even a sad film

i think parts of it are desperately sad - i sobbed my way through it in the cinema and still cry every time i watch it....

my dad used to leave the room when anything sad came on tv about children MrsW...'i can't watch this' he'd say and shuffle off!!

Christmas day, DH and I both sniffled our way through The Royle Family, and I have been known to well up at TV ads. I don't even listen to the news on the way to work any more as I can end up sitting in the car park, rubbing mascara off my face.

I used to be much harder before I had kids.

That said, I don't know if we or if the dry-eyed ones are more U.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 06/02/2013 22:03

I cried several times at Love Actually - the beginning bit when Hugh Grant talks about the people in the WTC phoning to tell family that they loved them; at Liam Neeson's wife's funeral; when Emma Thompson opens her present and goes to the bedroom to sob; when Colin Firth proposes to the Portuguese girl; when Emma Thompson tells Alan Rickman that he's made a fool of her

Basically, I cry at everything Grin
