Can we just have a thread where we can post frustrations without having to elaborate or be judged !?

I will start:

I wish the ungrateful little shits were not coming this weekend when I have lots of Christmas Day prep to do !!!!!

And

I hate wrapping presents !!!!!!!

@Corrag I'm so sorry about your mum, this must be a really tough time for you, I can't imagine what you're going through. I'm a big believer that those we love never leave us, there's a bond that endures and survives x

@BlueJag you're absolutely right, I'm working hard on getting outside more on my not-so-fightened days, hopefully I can volunteer somewhere soon. I'm going to search for organisations nearby for shoe boxes, what a fabulous idea x

@ShadyLady53 now that's a super odd example of cosmic coincidence, look what arrived this morning for me from Amazon!

I'll look up Richard Grannon as haven't heard his name, thank you x

I'll stop taking over this thread now, sorry all.

@Lettermethis there are no coincidences haha! Yes, I’ll stop thread hogging too, feel free to PM me anytime x

I wish that fucking Gatwick drone person had stayed in bed then my DH would be home and dry, rather than having to travel abroad for 2 days work tomorrow, fucking up DDs birthday!

TheOxymoron · 20/12/2018 21:25

I wish my son was still here. Christmas is not the same and I would give anything to have him back. That empty chair makes me sad.

loubluee · 20/12/2018 21:35

Flowers for all of you that have lost loved ones and are going through a tough time.

I wish I hadn’t just broken my foot and wrist. It’s making wrapping and organising driving around Christmas Day very difficult.

I’ve turned into a proper grinch for someone who loves Christmas,because I hate relying on others. I’m the type of person who will do something for someone at the drop of a hat, will lend you my last £5, and will drive someone anywhere. But I find it difficult to accept the same offers.

So I’ve been in an argument with dp, where I said leave me out Xmas day and concentrate on your own family, instead of accepting his offers of driving my dc to their dads and me to his families.

Exdp has just said stay at his (dp’s)don’t worry about coming home, and enjoy Christmas afternoon and Boxing Day.

Ive just got to accept dp driving to get me and taking my eldest to his dads now! Blush I don’t know why I find it so hard? Maybe because I hate being a burden????

Buttonsky · 20/12/2018 21:41

@loubluee I'm sure they don't see you as a burden. You can't help breaking your wrist and foot! What a nightmare! Just try and enjoy being the one driven around instead of driving others until your better! Thanks

FabulouslyFab · 20/12/2018 23:08

I wish I hadn’t put two stone on in the past 12 months :(

ihavetonamechangeOMG · 20/12/2018 23:11

I wish the ground would swallow me up

PawneeParksDept · 20/12/2018 23:16

I wish more people understood or if they do tell me they understand that my sister is NOT a nice person and that they too see the person I see.

I often feel completely alone in this, but over time have realised I can't be. It would be such a weight off if someone, and I don't even care if they were a stranger.

Said

"God are you HER sister - she's a massive bitch"

They would be intending on giving offence but I'd be like

THANK YOU and near tears

I think there's something pathological wrong with her and it's awful feeling like the only one who thinks it

MrsTommyBanks · 20/12/2018 23:18

I wish I wasn't on a meds change for the next three weeks.

Skybooks · 20/12/2018 23:20

I wish I was still pregnant Sad

JaceLancs · 20/12/2018 23:22

I wish I had more than 5 weeks to write a successful fundraising application for the charity I work for

SugarNyx · 20/12/2018 23:25

I wish this time of year didn’t remind me of all the years I spent in care alone whilst my family celebrated without me

stationaryace · 20/12/2018 23:26

I wish one of the chemos would just fucking work.

posthistoricmonsters · 20/12/2018 23:26

I wish I had two days and two nights of just enjoying my OH's company in our new home now that we've done the majority of the work on it, before the kids joined us. It's deffo a first world thing but it's probably less about enjoying each other as being about me getting the rest I need from it (I have fms and m.e) so I can fully enjoy both the kids.

Mostly I just wish everyone could be happy with a roof over their heads and food and warmth. We have two homeless people in our town centre and I know I'm not the only one worried about them and who has given them warm items and food.

Frogletmamma · 20/12/2018 23:29

I wish I was spending Christmas with the in laws not my own family. How horrible is that.

Cheeeeislifenow · 20/12/2018 23:51

I am so lonely... Christmas is very hard

loubluee · 20/12/2018 23:52

Buttonsky thank you that’s very kind of you to say

Kerantli · 20/12/2018 23:57

I wish DP had found a new job last month and not just last week (I am grateful, but it would have been better last month)

I wish I'd been a better granddaughter

I wish I could bring in some money somehow

I wish people would stop telling me "it's a two way street" with matters concerning my dad.

EyeRolls · 21/12/2018 00:00

I wish my partners MH issues didn't dominate and exhaust me to tears. It is always hard to suffer and I will never not support them- but being on the other side of it is fucking hard too. Christmas will either be good or not, depending on their MH.

LurpakIsTheOnlyButter · 21/12/2018 00:01

I wish you all have a better Christmas and that people are kind to you. So many sad people on this thread. Love to you all.

I also wish you will all go and be kind to someone else who may be lonely, sad or down for whatever reason.

Be kind to yourselves too. Life is both short and precious. I will be missing loved ones this Christmas but making joy in their absence

WillowUfgood · 21/12/2018 00:10

I wish my partner's health (mental and physical) would stop deteriorating.

I wish I could go back to work instead of just being a carer.

I wish our DD didn't have a very challenging MH diagnosis.

I wish I didn't have Norovirus.

yesmelord · 21/12/2018 00:16

I wish my mother was a 'nice normal' mother not a narcissistic cow bag.

I'm 6 months pregnant with a toddler, own home, lovely DH, yet she constantly constantly puts me down, criticises and talks to me like I'm a child- even expecting me to ask her permission before I send Christmas cards to family members.

She loves to tell me how fat I'm getting but not in direct words. (I'm a size 10 and pregnant ffs!) and will give me clothing that's sizes and sizes to big and tell me they will fit me nicely Hmm

I see so many women my age with supportive mothers that they can talk to and confide in, even laugh with.
I get a bit jealous sometimes. So that would be my wish.

NightOwlHoney · 21/12/2018 00:17

I wish that DD and I got along better and it was easier to love her.

I wish MIL would just fuck off and let us enjoy one bastarding Xmas with our DC.

I wish I could still trust DH.

I wish DD would get an offer from a uni.

I wish I could find the motivation to lose weight and be healthier.
