I agree with this. You don’t have to follow the FB groups if they wind you up, it’s a bit crappy to then post what’s being said from there over here and taking the piss. They’re not influencers or celebrities up for discussion so I wouldn’t say it’s fair game.Still unsure. Some good prosecution evidence lately.
@Lucyxxxx tbf the Facebook posting isn't nice, some of the comments made have been really unfair. I know this is tattle and we all like to gossip a bit but these are just people expressing their opinion, not influences or celebs opening themselves up to criticism. If we all agree to treat each other with some respect despite differing opinions, we should extend that to fb posters.
I also don't like making fun of people that I genuinely think could be a bit emotionally and mentally impaired in some way. I feel there are people who are NG and G who fit into that category but it only seems to be the NG ones that are being shared.... it just feels a bit mean tbh.Still unsure. Some good prosecution evidence lately.

Well that's somewhat comforting as a person who had them a lot growing up and still the odd time now!! Mostly about myself mind but I hope that would still be covered!My counsellor ages ago told me actually people who have intrusive thoughts are LESS likely to cause any harm and they are disturbed and distressed by the thoughts
Oh God yes, when I had my first baby 3 years ago I couldn't sleep, I would just watch her CONSTANTLY. I was terrified that as soon as I closed my eyes she would stop breathing.I think I had intrusive thoughts when I was babysitting. What if the mirror falls over her Moses basket? What if I’ve made her bottle wrong and it makes her poorly? What if she’s crying because I’ve accidentally hurt her? Is she too warm/cold and worrying about her blankets. I think these were probably just overprotective thoughts to keep her as safe as possible.
very normal and innocent, I have those ones about my toddler ALL the time,I think I had intrusive thoughts when I was babysitting. What if the mirror falls over her Moses basket?

Yes this is exactly me! And I think it's a good thing to be aware of this and how it can affect judgement. I do find it really hard to marry the two up though and like you say, if I'd never seen a picture, would I feel differently?Just replying to @avabella ’s post on previous thread ..
Feel a very similar way re her appearance !
As someone said ages ago, she just looks like your goofy old friend from uni! Quite an attractive face, not drop dead gorj but pretty in a plain-ish way, someone that looks approachable and non-intimidating … I don’t want all that to factor into how I feel about what she’s potentially done something so abhorrent but it’s been hard to separate the two. I wonder how I’d feel had I never seen a picture of her?
and yes about the intrusive thoughts, I have had them all my life and they’re a bugger!
I’m sure a lot of neonatal nurses have them because they are caring for something so tiny and so vulnerable, but of course that doesn’t mean you would harm them.

We luckily have Dan today, think he’s the only one thoughI have a feeling there is no live reporting today
I used to get intrusive thoughts of my pram rolling away of a pier and wether or not I would jump after itI think I had intrusive thoughts when I was babysitting.

Honestly, the days he does do always seems to fall on a day my little one is at home and he’s not live reporting when she’s at nursery.I need the Chester standard live reporters job! He only seems to do a couple of days a week
Defo I'd have been voting a big fat G on day one.I’ve said it before but if LL was some creepy looking old bloke, I doubt there would be as much debate over whether she did it.
I’m so glad you wrote this because I get the same about my toddler and I thought there was something wrong with mevery normal and innocent, I have those ones about my toddler ALL the time,
I’ve also experienced ones much darker about family, strangers, colleagues… violent ones, sexual ones all sorts .. I thought I was evil, but since have found out so much more about them and know I in no way wanted to act on them and they repulsed me. They’re very common.
Agree 100%I’ve said it before but if LL was some creepy looking old bloke, I doubt there would be as much debate over whether she did it.
