to stop people 'making memories'

It's a pissy pants phrase - every time it's mentioned it makes me heave. Just stop, you sound ridiculous, every fucking minute of every fucking day is making fucking memories, it's how we as a species survive.

Bugger off and live in Disneyland with all of the little tweety birdies and pink bollocking princess fluffy crap. Start living life as an educated grown up, stop with the stupid filtered selfies, and stop being so bloody feeble. Hope this has made a new memory for you all. Now fuck off.

my 3 year old just wee'd on the floor of our local charity shop while I dropped off some donations.
I got chatting to the lady about gift aid and then my amazing daughter gifted her with a puddle on the floor. F.M.L

What i loath is my ex husband's GF 'making memories' with my DC's. Hurts like hell.

That's right stacey STFU and swallow your pain, don't talk about it here on this supposedly supportive forum whatever you do Hmm

I have had both types of SM looking after my DC since I split with their Dad.

I can honestly say that the one who was kind to my DC and made time for them could never hurt me as much as the one who was an utter fucking bitch to them.

I suspect Matilda was trying to say something like that?

Yes, it is painful to see, but nowhere near the pain of the alternative. I hope you are Ok stacey Flowers

You're quite right, OP. The best memories just come from nowhere and can't be made.

Best holiday memory for the whole family - playing cards and eating cake in a tent, surrounded by wet clothes, whilst it poured it down, taking it in turns with DH to go out with an umbrella to make tea on the camping stove. Now, I'd hardly have planned that!

happy yes that's the kind of thing I meant, thank you.

We constantly went on trips to places when I was a kid. The one that I remember the most clearly was when my sister trapped her fingers in the car door just as we arrived at the castle, so we spent the day in casualty and never actually saw the castle.

Well it came across as snarky Matilda. Especially with the little Hmm face. Good to know you weren't trying to be Smile
