Things you wouldn't admit to in real life

[TwinklyFawn]

Light hearted. I dislike my mum's boyfriend. I am sick of his constant grunting when i ask him a question. It is like he is incapable of saying yes or no to a simple question. He is a terrible bus driver. He drives like he is on a race track.

You are the very best kind of person; be proud of doing the right thing for your son even when it is so hard to do it. I admire you greatly.

I really dislike people who make their sexuality front and centre in their life. I am part of the LGB ‘family’ note the rest of the alphabet soup has been sawn off as they are dangerous idiots.
I am happily in a relationship with another woman, however it is not the only element of my personality and sometimes people have no idea at all that I am a lesbian and I am very okay with.
I frequently think people who have their sexuality as the main element to their personality need to have more hobbies.

I want to retract the gift of our flat to my step son and his girlfriend.

We all do my dear

And?
🤔

I have a problem with being too honest so I can’t actually think of anything I would not say to someone’s face or admit to feeling. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bloody hell…. You gave a flat to your step son. What about your children if you have any?

I didn't speak at either of my parents' funerals. I would have just dissolved into a big snotty heap and no-one wants to see that do they?

Could you apologise and try harder from now. I think lots of us feel like that.

I have had enough of dealing with my elderly parents, mum with advanced dementia and dad with his sexist, racist and out-dated views on the world. I really wish I didn't live just round the corner from you both. You are the reason I am so chronically unwell.

And to ddog, I love you dearly but had I known the sheer hard work you would be I would never have got you from the rescue centre, they lied and said you were easy going, you aren't though are you? I adore you and will endeavor to always keep you because I don't want to be another human who has let you down but secretly you drain me and I miss my darling dearly departed dog who came before you more than anyone will ever know. He was the joy in my life.

I failed my driving test first time because I hit a tree while doing a 3 point turn in a quiet tree lined road...........

It's hard to know what tone you intended. At first I thought you were being dismissive and patronizing- I hope I was wrong and it was meant kindly.

I think the idea is that fatness is a moral failing and fat people should atone for it by the process of losing weight being difficult and unpleasant, like a penance. Unfortunately that approach is also very ineffective for most people in terms of actually losing weight and keeping it off. I think the cost to the NHS of weight loss drug prescriptions is a lot less than the cost of treating obesity-related illnesses.

I dont have kids, it is DH family flat, solely his though. We have done a massive amount of work on it to get it modernised but all we hear is moaning. I have been tempted to start a thread to get some feedback 😂 x

I didn’t like or respect my mum. I loved her but I found her a bit pitiful.

She gave up her job (which she loved) when my sister and I were tiny kids and never went back. My dad was a problem drinker had loads of affairs and she didn’t confront him or attempt to do anything about it. She tolerated his erratic behaviour and furious reactions to keep the peace.

She lived in a constant state of denial and avoidance and couldn’t or wouldn’t talk about anything that really mattered in life (love, sex, money, death, illness, politics), choosing to default to steering the conversation back to “safe” topics every time.

On paper she was a good mother and I know she couldn’t help a lot of this and she wasn’t particularly unusual for a woman of her generation but even in death I have never made peace with the fact she chose to put his needs over ours.

Well it was not “solely his” if you’re married.

I look down on people who have tattoos. Doesn't matter how small they are.

I don’t have a tattoo and no desire to

but I find posts like this truly unfathomable

To “look down” on someone simply because they have a small tattoo

baffling

I know, I agreed to doing this though. We did decide together but I did feel a bit reluctant tbh. Its done now.

That's why I don't say it IRL. Whole point of the post innit?

I'm tired by ND being the first explanation of any problem behaviour, with expectation of no boundaries set ever. ND umbrella term is illogical, we all have traits at one point or another and NT is a theoretical term and it does not exist in real life.

I am in the same position with my mum who has Alzheimer's. I have spent the last 20 years raising my dc and the last 6 years have been caring for an elderly parent with dementia. It feels never ending and I secretly feel so resentful.

I feel for you

agree, it's all bs

Yes but if you have no other options! 😂
