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

My flatmate’s hamster died while I was looking after it. I told her I buried it in the garden but I actually threw the hamster and contents of the cage in the bin.

Totally get that. I was v close to my late Mum until she totally changed. She did not speak to me for 3 years before she died and even during our last conversation she hung up on me. Felt like she did not care and i have deep sense of resentment even now she is gone. She always loved my brother more than me and my whole 40 years all i did was trying to earn her love. Feel ashamed of not being loved so got to pretend all was well.

I had an affair with a married man when I was 19 and broke up his marriage just to see if I could.

ReneBumsWombats · 27/07/2022 22:48

I've outlived everyone who wished me dead.

glittereyelash · 27/07/2022 22:48

This will sound odd but I have memories that aren't mine they are my mother's. I can see things that happened in the past through her eyes. This began happening right after she died. Its not as strong now but in the month after she died I could recall conversations word for word even though I hadn't been born yet for some of the memories. It's bizarre and I don't understand it at all.

I am not even a tiny bit interested in any of my colleagues children or grandchildren, the endless boring conversations and pictures are driving me crazy. Strange thing is they don’t seem to discuss their families with the others that do have kids. I never ask for this information….. why do they think I give a shit

I feel your pain.
Recently started working with a woman I do not like (think it's mutual) but for some reason she was telling me about her kids at summer camp.
As my eyes glazed over, I turned back to my PC while she was mid-sentence and luckily she got the message, didn't finish the sentence and left my office. Result.

I got fed up of never having a boyfriend and so advertised on Craigslist personals to find a man to lose my virginity to...and I did (after several meet ups & establishing he was a decent guy, not for money or anything).

Eatshite · 27/07/2022 22:49

I hate my niece. She is an adult now and still a fucking spoilt brat. Her parents dote on her though she treats them like trash and they wonder why.

@Newyearnewname20 do it!!

@elfycat omg you're amazing! I've not finished once yet, but I will this year!

I'm insane. I know it. I punch through playing all the games. Word Wars, Crawls etc.

So Confession.

I filmed a mother at the primary school my DC attend, carrying her child's end of term bags easily and comfortably down the street as we left (the DC and her DH were there so she didn't need to). I sent it to another parent who had clipped their car door - opened onto the road - a couple of weeks before. The mother was claiming for a whiplash injury. I said I'd rather be anonymous, but would be named if needed.

I cost her a lot of money.

Her DC bullied mine, for years. Then she reported my child for excluding hers when elfykitten rightly walked away from the toxicity. Bitch.

I really want to write a book - I keep on thinking about it and an idea for a story has been pootling around in my head for a couple of years now, but can’t seem to build up the courage/motivation to actually write it. Would love to do it though.

Totally same! Like reading my own thoughts! Thank you

MakeMeHappyShirley · 27/07/2022 22:50

I love this thread.

NC for this.

im old, overweight, boring and have zero social life. In my 20s and 30s I slept with over 100 men. Partly for the ego boost, partly because I wanted fun stuff to look back on when I’m old.

I’ve also had phone sex, threesomes, been to sex clubs, tried pretty much any fetish you can think of.

i don’t regret any of it.

im now with a wonderful funny kind man who makes me happy. I don’t think I’ll ever have sex with anyone else - and I’m very content with that idea.

I've been leading a double life for years and nobody has a clue

Details?

Eatshite · 27/07/2022 22:51

I hated my father in law, he was a perve who was always staring at my tits. I was glad when he died though pretended otherwise to my grieving DH.

godthatfeltgood · 27/07/2022 22:51

*I've achieved something that in loads of people's eyes makes me enormously successful.

What drove me to achieve it is the fact that I knew it would piss of my SIL*

I think it's playing the piano at a public concert in a well known cathedral

i have an Instagram page (over 100k followers) where I write content, stories and poems about deep and personal things (issues with in-laws, issues with friends etc.) and no one knows!! some family & friends even follow me 🙃

This is amazing

NotSoSlimShady8 · 27/07/2022 22:55

I have always banged on to DP about how annoying, cringy and shit love island is and that only sad bitch bimbos watch it and I could never sit and watch anything like that … I watched one episode 2 years ago after a girl at work mentioned something that intrigued me.. I was hooked and have watched every episode of every series since. I watch it in secret on catch up cos I don’t want to look a massive hypocrite! 🙈I get excited when he works nights so I can watch it without the panic.. It’s like having an affair as I hear DPs keys in the door I shit myself and change the programme!!! (The worst is when he comes home early just before a fire pit decision is made and I have to turn it off before the reveal) he would only laugh if he knew but I have made my bed now and it’s gone too far 😂

Eatshite · 27/07/2022 22:55

I’m happy that my SILs children have all got shitty jobs while my kids are very successful. She had a go at me the first time I met her (when I was pregnant) for working as a mother - though her brother did not earn enough to support us.

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.

Same here

Eatshite · 27/07/2022 22:57

I disliked my step father. I always thought he resented me and preferred my sister. I wasn’t sorry when he died. I pretended otherwise to my mum and everyone else.

Mississipi71 · 27/07/2022 22:58

I had a one night stand last night with somebody I had just tried to get my friend fixed up with. We are all single. Luckily, she told me today she is only interested in casual with him and that's if they start anything. They arent an item so why do I feel so guilty? Neither he or I are interested in having a relationship. I woke up hanging, which I suppose is karma.

I think you need to ramp up that obsession another notch and learn how to spell stationeryGrin

@Welshrarebitontoast I'm very allergic to Quorn and my fear is that someone will do this- please tell people if they ask as I can't be the only one. I usually double check any meal is real meat, people must think I'm weird!

Eatshite · 27/07/2022 23:01

I was in love with someone else when I married my husband. I only married him because we had a child and I didn’t want to be a single parent. I love him dearly now.

I drink straight out of the milk carton in secret.

Me too! The fear when you hear approaching footsteps! 😂

Tbf though it's only really me that uses the milk but I know DH would think it disgusting!

Other confessions...

DH has terrible observation skills so I regularly buy new stuff for the house and say nothing. When he does inevitably finally notice it I can usually truthfully say "we've had that ages"!
