Things you wouldn't admit in real life part 2

The person in question had a 6 year gap, so you're right, it's more relevant there than 2 years.

I doubt they need your pity. Why not keep quiet instead of being so disingenuous to say you are jealous of them?

Well if we're really saying what we thinking, I despise the sort of women who have no identity outside motherhood. I also think that they smother their kids and are more likely to alienate them than more laid back parents.

I think this thread is really getting derailed by the personal attacks on posters daring to offer their unwashed (unspoken in public ) thoughts.

Why don't those particular posters read the thread title instead of being mortally offended and then attacking anyone who dares offer a controversial opinion ?

If you don't like the thread subject: find another ! Otherwise this will get very very boring and people only confessing "oh I sometimes have a sugar in my coffee instead of a sweetener " or it turns into a bun fight !

🤣 I have a degree qualified career that Is well respected and gives me great job satisfaction. But.... I still prefer motherhood. So, your opinion is perfectly fine. Only , it doesn't apply to my situation.

It's interesting to see how these terrible experiences impact people differently. I, too, almost lost my life recently and it has filled me with nothing but fear that I almost left my little children without a mother. In fact, in my "final moment" all I pictured was my husband having to explain to them that mummy wasn't coming home. The last thing I felt was tremendous guilt that I'd brought them into this world only to leave them to deal with such grief and loss, without me there to help them.

😆 funny, but tell me did you learn something?

“a degree qualified career” Wow, that’s impressive

I would agree with you, but my unicorn didn't turn up AGAIN today, so I am cross.

Lazy ! i worked 3 jobs, 15 hours a day, 7 days a week so i could retire early. How the hell is that lazy ?

Just a suggestion, and apologies if you have heard it all before, but intensely itchy orifices may be staph infection, the itching and burning is off the scale. Do either of you work in healthcare? Treatment is Fucidin, antibiotics and Hibiscrub wash. The itching stops almost immediately. Medical professionals fob off with steroids and menthol preparations but they will not work.

I am sorry things are tough for you at the moment, the menopause sucks, it really does.
it’s good for you to get things off your chest, even if you can’t say the aloud in real life.
sending you hugs xx

I love picking my nose, I quite often go to the loo at work so I can do it.

I never said it was.

You stated I only had motherhood as my identity. I was correcting you on facts.

I suggest you drop your axe.

I feel like I'm living my life for everyone else, I care for my mum, have a child with a number of complex additional needs, I arrange and attend all medical appointments and deal with issues at school a couple of times a week. I work full time and pay 80% of the household expenses as DP earns under half what I do and as a result am left with barely anything at the end of each month. DP frequently lies to me about inconsequential things and tends to make most the decisions about our life, refusing to do things or go places he doesn't want even though I always pay. I feel desperately sad and lonely most of the time BUT no one knows I just put on a brave face and get on with it.

I have psoriasis all over my body so I’m assuming the issue with my orifices is the same. Thanks for the suggestion though

Yes, the purpose of the thread is to share things people wouldn’t normally say in public, without fear of judgment. The thing is you’re replying directly to and quoting others to disagree with them and insinuate that they couldn’t really have been happy with their choices — and that yours were somehow better.
It seems that, despite apologising for your earlier judgmental post, you’ve continued to be judgmental.
Which is why people are calling you insufferable.

Or she had ‘older’ parents. My dad would have been in his teens during the later part of WW2, and I am nowhere near 80!

I really really dislike my mother in law

Unicorns are free spirits - you can’t expect them to adhere to a schedule!

That's absolutely not true. Read the thread!

Yes that’s been established, they could be anywhere between 40 and 80!

My son did his GCSEs in 2017, and I recall offering to help him with his English Language as he was struggling. English language being something I thought I was quite good at. Nope! Looked at the homework his teacher had set him and I didn’t have a clue. This was the first year on the new syllabuses when they had changed the gradings from letters to numbers.

I truly don't think I could hack it in a job where I have to be there in a physical location, and mentally on, 9-6 every day, 5 days a week, at least not know that I have a child and family responsibilities.

I'm highly paid and very well-educated and it's embarrassing to realise this about myself.

Oh, also, I am getting married next year and I really, really don't want to. I don't want to be married, don't want to plan a wedding, don't want to be a bride. None of it excites me in the slightest.
