I signed my daughter up to rainbows fully aware it’s a Christian organisation and I don’t intend on attending any of the church events 🤭

It's OK, thank you though x
It was just a funny realisation when I see how young I look on the photo. (I was a very late developer) what an absolute creep. 🤮

I've just shown my boyfriend the photo, asked how old I am on it, he said 10/11? I didn't tell him obviously, it's all a bit embarrassing 😳

Yuck.

Not lighthearted: I don’t think I’m a nice person. I have horrible thoughts about people sometimes. And I don’t want to think that way but I can’t help it, that’s just where my mind goes. I do a decent job of hiding those thoughts and I don’t think anyone in real life would suspect that I’m such a horrid bitch 🙁

I don’t think you are horrible
I’ve spent all day thinking “ If I hear about Sir Bobby Charlton once more ffs” 🙄🙈
And he’s a national treasure

Really surprised I couldn’t find a thread for this!

I have a confession to make and am so ashamed I daren’t tell anyone in real life: we hid half of our child’s birthday gifts from friends and family and are holding them back for Christmas, but will say it’s all from Santa 😣 Everyone got a thank you note, but our house is already bursting at the seams, I just couldn’t justify having all that come in and then add on Christmas toys too, and thought this way it saves us some space and some cash too, but I feel really icky about it and needed to confess!

Anyone else have something they need to get off their chest?

In our house, family buy presents and send them to Santa then he delivers them, along with some presents that are just from him himself.
That way the gift giver gets credit but it doesn't ruin the magic. (Of course sometimes people miss the last post to Santa and have to bring the gifts after Christmas). Perhaps you could do something along those lines?
Mine's bday is a month after Christmas so I feel your pain.

My neighbour and I report the family across the street for illegally parking in the bus stop. It makes getting on and off our driveways difficult!

I think about my ex boyfriend all the time, the one that got away so to speak. It brings me great sadness to be honest. We last saw each other about 13 years ago and I have such fond memories of him

I'm never said a word to anyone because I know how ridiculous it sounds. We've grown up, moved on and are different people now, so I'm pining over an idea of what could have been rather then anything real. I have a partner of 12 years and 2 children now so it really is not worth my time to even think about, but i still do, quite often.

See this terrifies me because what if my husband still thinks about his ex and we’ve been together 9 years 😭🤣

I've got one - it's a bit of a specific to me problem but it has made me do something a little bit sneaky!

I've got a problem with my partner drinking alcohol (it's an anxiety thing and a long back story) and for years he always said he was never bothered about drinking anyway, so it wasn't really an issue. Then probably in the last 6 or 7 years, I would smell alcohol on his breath when he was having his lad's night once a week. I asked him about it and he denied he was drinking. Anyway - long story short. It turns out he was drinking and then saving a bit for a saturday night too and he had been doing it behind my back for a long time. In the interest of fairness and the fact that I didn't want to control him, I accepted that he would drink on the lad's night and I would have to try and come to terms with my anxiety.
I've been trying to face my fears about it for 7 months now but it's just not getting any easier.

So, on the lad's night, I feel like I've just got to suck it up and he's also out of my sight, so it's a bit easier but on the Saturday night when he's got a bit left over for a nightcap, I've been pouring half of it away and topping it up with water! He adds a mixer to it anyway and he doesn't seem to notice that it's weaker but it just makes me feel a bit better!

I do feel guilty but he seems just as happy thinking he's having a good nightcap and I feel better knowing that he's not really going to get drunk!

I feel terrible. My husband has always wanted a big family, I did too but had some health problems with my last baby. I finally agreed to try for another one after lots of healthy discussions and I would ultimately love another baby but my health anxiety is making me freak out and I genuinely don't want to burst his bubble of happiness. It's been two days since I agreed and I feel sick at the thought of breaking his heart.

This sounds like such a heavy burden to carry, and I can see why you're feeling torn. That doesn’t make you selfish or weak; it just makes you human. If you’ve already had healthy discussions about expanding your family, then hopefully he’ll be open to another conversation. One that’s just as compassionate and understanding. Would he want you to suffer in silence, especially over something so life-changing?

Maybe you could approach it from the angle of, “I want this too, but I need to be honest about how much fear I'm feeling. Can we talk through this again, because I don’t want my anxiety to overshadow something we both want?” That way, it’s not about shutting him down or "bursting his bubble," but rather about finding a way forward together that takes your health needs into account as well.

I do this thing I think it's called malative day dreaming but it makes me so happy. No one knows I do it in my day dreams I have everything I want and it's usually a group of friends from a TV show (think friends) everyone is how they were but I am there too it's hard to explain

I do this too!
