I'll go first.

I wish I could tell my SIL that I dislike her so much and I wish she'd never met my BIL. I hate that she is now part of our family. She came to disrupt our (far from perfect but lovely) family. I hate the way she treats my BIL. I hate how she makes everyone pander to her every whim. How all her messages are passive aggressive and how rude she is to my MIL. I could never say this out loud of course, but I dream of it often.

Feels good getting that out of my chest.

Anyone else feel free to add.

The poppy appeal is a charity not a tax and since the whole thing has been misappropriated and people are shamed for not showing support to "our boys and girls" in the forces, I choose not to support it.

There are a lot of things that its connected charities are doing at the moment that I disagree with (evicting the spouses of veterans from their homes if the veteran dies, for example), so have also stopped supporting them.

I wear a poppy pin that I bought years ago to recognise Remembrance Day (bought from a specific military shop), but I won't be putting any more money in their tins each year.

I’m emotional anyway atm but some of you oh my gosh, life can be so unfair and cruel. I used to believe in karma but the older I get the less I do xx

To my best friend & her husband, please clean your absolute pigsty of a house. It is absolutely disgraceful and bordering on child abuse to your 2 poor kids, not to mention how you near on neglect your cats & dog. It isn't 'normal' just because you both work full time, you are just both lazy. The reason I never want to come round and have a cuppa/takeaway at yours is because it's impossible to relax. I can't even see the kitchen work tops or dining room table due to the amount of clutter and mess everywhere. I don't understand how you can live like that. There is dog shit in the garden and you let your kids play out there, yet send your kids to private school because you are a snob and look down at any school that isn't. You are not above anyone just because you send them to private school when you can't even clean your house.

Gosh all these people with friends they don't like!
To my "friend" I don't trust you as you overstep boundaries and are always happy when im down.

I know lol. Tbh I have one friend I don’t always like (the ‘narc’), one who can be a bit of a downer but the others are all great.

@protectthesmallones - I feel something around me after someone has died Not every time, but about 75%.. hard to describe and can't tell anyone as they would think I was making it about me.It was very strong after MIL died, even my dog who is pretty bulletproof ran out of the room crying like she was being chased! I hear you and I can't shout it out either. I know MN is very anti-woo and there maybe an explanation, but I know what I feel!

I would also like to add to my list of things to shout:

You are not blunt you are a prize bitch, you aren't special and when you are talking about how great you are all I can hear is Peppa Pig.

I know what you mean . I feel a presence . I've also had a feeling of peace sweep over me and later found out that's the time the family member passed away. I've also thought about old acquaintances and colleagues out of the blue and then found out through obituaries or a text message that they have passed away . I think k there is more after we have passed away . Death is not the end .

I simply do not understand why you married that bald, right-wing, Reform-voting loud-voiced, lazy, arrogant rah pillock buffoon who prefers to shoot and play golf when he should be working. You were and still are beautiful - you had so many other options. I only put up with him because you’re the best sister in the world.

Orphlids · 13/11/2024 10:47

Don’t let your kids have Snapchat at the age of nine, you fucking morons.

WonderingWanda · 13/11/2024 10:49

When I was at my previous school with a lot of poor behaviour I would've really liked to tell some of my students to "Why don't you just fuck off. You don't want to be here and I don't particularly want you here either if you are going to behave like that".

I'd tell people who walk around calling people bigots and racists that they are part of the problem.

I didn't ask for your opinion.

I wish I could tell my sister in law that her brother is a lying, unfaithful narcissist. His official dx is BPD with Covert narcissism, as a psychologist I wish she’d see that, but no, her brave brother can do no wrong,

To my teenage sons.... spraying the bath with hot water does NOT get it clean......it needs shower cleaner and a good scrub!!! There is more toothpaste in the tube, try squeezing from the bottom!!!

Why wouldn't you tell them, particularly about the shower? They need to know how to clean things properly, don't want them ending up being THAT man who expects his partner to do all the cleaning just because she is female.

ChekhovsMum · 13/11/2024 10:56

You say you want to go to University and become a doctor/lawyer/engineer/architect, but you won’t concentrate for long enough to read a short fiction book which has been created for entertainment purposes, and you protest when I set you any work to be done outside the 9am to 3.30pm school day.

You have a fairly big shock coming.

I’d tell my child’s sports coach that he’s a vile man with a foul temper who needs to rein it in and stop throwing tantrums.

AnonymousBleep · 13/11/2024 11:01

I'd like to tell my mum how much she hurt me by siding with my stepdad against me, agreeing with him throughout my entire child/teenhood that I was 'difficult' and 'headstrong' and then kicking me out of home to go to university and not letting me come back. I'd love to tell her that the reason I spiralled into really poor mental health at university, which led onto addiction issues, was because I was completely on my own at 18 with nobody looking out for me. I'd like to say how shit I think she is now with my own kids, who she barely sees compared to their cousins. I'd love to have a mum that cared about me the same way I care about my kids. But I'd only want to say this to hear her say she's sorry and mean it, though, and she won't, so there's no point in my saying anything. I just smile and maintain the status quo that we're a normal loving family.

To want to say autistic people are generally not quick to make new friends and the popular one in the year etc because they usually have social issues.

But likewise if someone doesnt have friends or not for long that doesnt mean they are autistic either. They could be mean or always causing arguments or just a bit selfish.
The nhs assessments seem rubbish and the form ask about behaviour but not about why the child does xyz. Severe issues would also affect school groupwork or sports teams.

Nothing. If I think it I say it. Not to be rude but because I'm a filterless blurter.

Which is why I've got no friends. I only open my gob to change feet.

Edited

Yeah i was reading these comments and thinking to myself i would have blurted out pretty much everything people are thinking. Not because i want to hurt or upset people. Just because it comes out my mouth before i have had a chance to think about it. Although comes in handy around dickheads when there being dicks and no one else has the balls to say anything

GC5 · 13/11/2024 11:14

To my former boss - I wish I’d had the energy to sue for constructive dismissal when you pushed me and others out of the charity for holding GC views, which you made us attend - unlawful! meetings - to squirrel out of us. You are lucky that we all cared enough about the organisation to recognise you were a blip in its history, because if the way you ran the place came out, the organisation would likely have been destroyed as well as you. And while I can’t say this to your face because we have mutual friends and acquaintances, I am completely honest about why I left when I am asked. Now you are self employed, you have lost work because of it and I’m glad of that, even though it wasn’t my intention.

I want my f’’king garden finished! I don’t care that you are ‘tired’ get a blood test and some meds you f’’king cunt

Greyrocked · 13/11/2024 11:16

I feel sorry for you that your boarding school crushed you and stopped you from real human feelings, but that you aren't suitable to be leading anyone.

lollypopsforme · 13/11/2024 11:17

cant really say much because i open my mouth if i have something to say.
I spent years biting my lip even at them that hurt me so now if i have something to say i will say it even if it hurts they hurt me enough.
So fuck it i'll speak up.

GC5 · 13/11/2024 11:19

Oh, and to my SIL - stop moaning about how hard your life is. You are ridiculously privileged. Your parents bought you an expensive house outright, how dare you complain that it’s not exactly what you wanted? And don’t complain that you have to manage on a “low income” - you don’t have an income, you get an allowance from your mother even though you are on your 40s. If you want more money, get a job you lazy cow. Also, no, you’re not an artist - you have never competed a piece, let alone sold one. You have had every privilege and opportunity in life and squandered it. Stop fucking moaning that you are not happy and your life is hard and bloody do something about it.

Wheelz46 · 13/11/2024 11:21

I work in fraud and some customers are just unbelievable, I would love to be able to speak to them how they speak to staff who are actually trying to help them. I would also add a few choice words in for good measure!

Additionally the fraudsters who contact us trying to pretend they are the customer, I would love to be able to use the f-word to those ones 😆

That you are the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. That I don’t breathe when I’m not with you. That I think about you all the time and long to be in your arms. I know we’re just ‘friends’ and both married to other people but the bond we have is like nothing else and I will love you til the day I die.

I could have written this too. It's so painful, right?

Hereforthekicks · 13/11/2024 11:24

You're not as intelligent as you think you are. You mansplain, yet you don't even know what that means. You actually scare me and I can't cope with your aggression and tantrums anymore. You hate being corrected by a woman. I think you actually hate women. Pretty convinced you have adhd or you're a psychopath. Or both. I think you lie a lot too. People in the family don't trust you. You talk way way way too much and you aren't even interested in listening. You're a know it all. It's embarrassing. You absolutely cannot be reasoned with. Oh and get a proper job and stop judging and hating everyone else.
