Okay, so, we all have these thoughts; things we know we DEFINITELY are being unreasonable about and yet we can't help but think them.

This is that thread. A chance to say whatever you want judgement free. You know it's silly, you know it makes no sense but it's how you feel. Feel free to share! It might make me feel a little less crazy.

I'll go first...

My best friend gave birth to twins today and I am INSANELY jealous. Simply because I want twins. I know it's stupid, I know I likely won't even have twins but I want them so badly and now she has them. I feel like she's stolen the twin dust and there will be none left for me!

Like I said - just somewhere to post how you're feeling consequence free Smile

I only did my nursing degree to prove that I didn’t mess my life up when I had my 1st baby when I was 16. I’m now a nurse and doesn’t make me feel better in any way. I have lovely husband, children and a nice house but nothing makes me feel that I have succeeded in life and shook off that judgment from the past.

I wish real harm up on my MIL....She had it in for me before she even met me, has tried to tear our relationship apart by outright lying about me after I'd welcomed her in to my home and cooked her dinner and done my best to make her welcome.

She has lied about family events to avoid me being there, ignores me and my children, turned the family against me, the list just goes on.

I am beyond forgiveness.

I have made a voodoo doll of her before....

Hope she croaks soon. Demon bitch from hell.

I talked my exh into a vasectomy before I left him

I know someone who did this. He already had two kids from his previous marriage and she thought he was paying maintenance because he said he was, turns out he wasn't and was using her/their own two DC as the excuse for why. The end of the relationship was a culmination of issues (including that) coupled with her improving her mental health and self-esteem. She talked him into a vasectomy on the grounds that their family was complete and then announced she was leaving him, she says she did it at that he couldn't go do the same thing to the next women and so that when she went to CMS for maintenance (which she did) it wasn't going to get reduced by any no-longer-possible future children.

PamelaD00ve · 27/07/2022 21:06

I pick my nose.

I'm not sad my mil died, I'm quite relieved in fact. I'm specifically glad she died before my kids were born, because she was so controlling and so convinced she was always right, I just know she would've made life unbearable.

IDGAF about the environment, I’m a frequent flyer and I have no plans to get rid of my lovely 3 litre, 6 cylinder 330hp BMW.

BeatieBourke · 27/07/2022 21:07

@lesina and @Itsvalentino - Me too!

One is the bees knees - fun, kind, intelligent, interesting, self possessed, humble, doesn't take herself too seriously.

The other is a smug, prissy cow who manages to be condescending despite her age and lack of any real life experience. I'm looking forward to her getting her corners knocked off by life. Terrible auntie.

Purplelion · 27/07/2022 21:09

I have an insane crush on someone at work. He’s only just started and I have 1 shift a week with him but I do my hair and make up before every shift just in case he’s doing overtime, I’m single and I don’t know what his relationship status is so it may be worth the effort!

I'm fed up of lending DS money. I just can't keep doing it.

Gardenerboo · 27/07/2022 21:11

@Coffeeenema snap.
I made a decision to go complete no contact with her in the spring. Should have done it a decade ago.

Sometimes I stand looking out of my window with my arse hanging out. For some reason I enjoy the knowledge that anyone going past would just see someone looking out of their window and never know about my naked arse.

😂😂 I love this so much! Will now be wondering how many people I pass standing in their window will have the arse hanging out.

Georgeskitchen · 27/07/2022 21:13

Long ago before CCTV, Dashcams, social media etc, I did a hit and run on a (parked up) taxi's wing mirror.
I could see it hanging by a thread as I quickly sped away

Oh the shame 😕 🤣

WellEdinburghIsMightyFine · 27/07/2022 21:15

I haven't changed my bedsheets for months - even during the heatwave

To tell my hb ex best mate all about the song and fumble his late wife had with my husband .Everyone thinks I'm a cow because we cut contact . It's something I'll probably take to my grave

Paintsplat · 27/07/2022 21:16

While I'm happy to be in my relationship, I do sometimes wonder if that were to change if I could ever bring myself to leave - the reason being I don't feel I have an 'anchor'. I have very little family who wouldn't make the effort to keep in touch if I moved away. I don't have any links to my home town, and no one set group of friends. If I didn't have a partner I could honestly disappear and no one would really notice. I remember being aware of it when I was younger and single, and being part of something while in a relationship was an unexpected benefit that i'd struggle to let go of now.

I'm not suggesting that I think no one cares about me, just that I'm independent and transient enough that I think people would assume I'm fine/lost touch!

NorthernLights5 · 27/07/2022 21:18

My confession is...I lie! I lie so much all the time! Not to anyone I love but to strangers I meet who ask me what I do etc. I just make things up and I love it!

Sorry meant snog and fumble

When I can't sleep at night I like to imagine what I would do if I was invisible. My favourite thing is to go into MIL home and tamper with things so she thinks she's gone mad and perhaps others may think she's gone mad too.

For example take the fuses out of her fridge freezer plugs and blast the heating but turn it off when she goes to check. Open all her windows at night (creepy). Take the handbrake off her car so it rolls a little and looks like she forgot. Give her a sleeping tablet and then take the battery out of her phone so everyone freaks out about where she is and can't reach her. Turn her electric off at the main switch to annoy her, stuff like this.

I usually drift off to sleep doing this.

poorbuthappy · 27/07/2022 21:21

I am never ever happy with my job. Ever. It's my problem. I clearly expect too much. I just think every boss I've worked for is fucking incompetent. And they bloody are.

@Coffeeenema snap.

I'm doing the same now, she was invited round for OH birthday last Autumn and they came round for new year...both times I cooked lovely meals, yet I haven't been invited once, so rude. My OH gets invited round on his own and I just feel so fucking angry....

The sad thing is I could have forgiven the old hag if she didn't keep this hate campaign against me going. She is a sick woman who despised OH's ex too!

ThatsWhatItsAllAbout · 27/07/2022 21:23

I sneak a few days extra off each year at work by “forgetting” to put them in the system. I also go to the hairdressers in working hours. Oh and also I book meeting rooms and go and play Candy Crush.

Very senior role. I give that company enough extra time, this is just reclaiming a bit of rebellious balance.

YellowBusPlaymobile · 27/07/2022 21:23

I tell my DH I'm going to the gym. What I actually do is sit outside the gym in the car and watch TikTok in peace. It's just occured to me that I have no idea why I need to drive to the gym to do this and not go to Starbucks or something instead 😆

britneyisfree · 27/07/2022 21:24

Loving this thread....

Gosh a confession.... hmmmmn

I used to try and flush coats down the toilet in junior school if they pissed me off.
In hindsight I wish I'd thought to do a poo on them too but I suppose that wouldn't have been nice for the teachers who probably ended up fishing them out Blush

Not confessing anything else as I'm trying to see how long I can go with out name changing 🤣

Batmannequin · 27/07/2022 21:24

I used to fantasise that my vile neighbour would fall down her stairs and incapacitate herself to the extent that she couldn't stop her dog from eating her face when it got hungry, because she couldn't get up to feed it. She moved recently so I no longer feel as strongly.

Minimalme · 27/07/2022 21:25

I'm looking forward to my Mum's funeral ((sadly she hasn't died yet) and our family and her friends noticing I'm not there and wondering why.

The only thing that taints my joy is she wouldn't know I had dissed her at her own funeral.
