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 reason you have so many conflicts at work is you. You are the problem 99% of the time.

I would love to say this to my stepdaughter. I'd up it to 100% though.

I'd scream out to everyone who I met on a daily basis that if they eat meat, they should be forced to watch Earthlings and Land of Hope and Glory.

I'd tell people that I despise them for continuing to consume meat, eggs and dairy, no matter how much they paid for it, because they just won't wake up and understand that an animal suffers each time they take something from it - it's life, it's babies, it's food.

I'd tell those who bet on horse racing how I'd hate for them to be used and to be profited from, the same as anyone who breeds any animal for profit. I'd tell those who buy leather how I'd hate to sit on their skin after they'd become a meal.

I'd scream from the biggest platform I could to make people realise that there is no ethical or kind way to treat an animal if you are going to imprison it, take it's life and take everything that it had.

Can't edit, so I'm just going to pretend my massive apostrophe fuck up is because the animal I was talking about is called it 😁

each to their own but in terms of chicken eggs if they are not fertilised to make more chickens then they go to waste , so why the hate on using eggs ??

You don’t look younger you just look like a 46 year old who’s had too much botox. You’re starting to look really scary and I miss your face. It was beautiful.

Iamnotalemming · 12/11/2024 23:40

To my DM and DB that they have an unhealthy codependency and are both completely irrational and I'm furious and sad that I will end up picking up the pieces.

I prefer the dog to all of you.

SocksAndTheCity · 12/11/2024 23:42

Stop whining because you've again been a greedy, selfish, entitled arsehole and it backfired on you. It is not always somebody else's fault, and in your case it's unlikely ever to be somebody else's fault.

You are conceited, deluded and you bore me shitless, and I'm only polite and supportive to you because it is my job.

Oh, that felt great 😊

anxioussister · 12/11/2024 23:44

Ooh mine is my SIL too. I hate how you put in the effort to pretend to like us all until you had married my brother. I hate that out of the five siblings, everyone’s spouses are nice to my parents and each other apart from you. My brother says you’re anxious and insecure - but I’ve seen how you interact with other people (I’ve known you for twenty years now) - you’re just mean.

ArabellaFishwife · 12/11/2024 23:46

For the love of God will you shut up complaining about your bloody sister. She's a pain in the arse, no question, as are you, by the way, but she's doing what has to be done, and if you won't acknowledge her contribution there's no reason why she should acknowledge yours.

HereForTheAnimals · 12/11/2024 23:48

@MrPickles001 it is the mass production for the population that is the problem. Chickens have been bred to lay more and more, and having masses of chickens to supply supermarkets means one thing - profit comes before welfare, regardless of caged, free range or organic.

ThatsNotMyTeen · 12/11/2024 23:49

”you don’t have a daughter, you have a son”

and vice versa

nunsflipflop · 12/11/2024 23:50

If you insist on having that toxic, jealous, money grabbing, lying, lazy, fake arsehole in your life because “the children love her”, then as much as I love you, you can’t be a part of mine. I can’t trust you not to run your mouth off filling her in on my life, once the trust is gone, so is the relationship. Time to choose

Lytlethings · 12/11/2024 23:50

Tell my husband of 52 years that I am sick of his passive aggressive face pulling. I am matching him mood for mood, which means I mostly have a stern face.

That the happy jolly person he presents to the world could just as easily be used at home.

ill admit that i can understand and agree plus apparently majority of climate change is from agriculture with animals etc

I'd like to tell my daughter's teenaged friend that he's finally grown into a likable human being after all those years of being a PITA. He's had a tough life, so I managed to pretend to like him for a long time. Now I actually do like him.

CallMeCleopatra · 12/11/2024 23:51

I still love you.

This you should say out loud. ❣️

I wish I’d succeeded when I tried to off myself. I’m still struggling, I hate it here so much but now everyone knows what happened and I feel like I have to keep going for everyone else when I just don’t fucking want to.

MrPickles001 · 12/11/2024 23:53

also whats so intriguing about me, over the years ive ran the ideas etc but something does not add up, and that one night in cotmanhey, well i dunno, but i guess unless i could time travel then i cannot undo the event

HereForTheAnimals · 12/11/2024 23:53

@MrPickles001 if you are going to carry on providing eggs, you also need birds that can lay. Male chicks can not do this and because they have no other use, they are killed on day 1 of their life.

Timefortruths · 12/11/2024 23:55

It was rape. No matter how much you thought saying you loved me made it ok, it did not. Because we were married didn’t make it ok. I hated myself but I relented because you made my life a misery when I refused, but make no mistake, it was rape.
