I get really annoyed when I see ‘rediculous’ instead of ridiculous and ‘apauling’ instead of appalling. This is basic primary school spelling and you have to wonder how someone managed to get to adulthood with such a poor grasp of the English language?

“Defiantly” as “definitely.” Literally a total different word, and it doesn’t even LOOK like it’s “definitely”
 
I have a friend who took her tree and tit down yesterday 😒 I swear she only does it for the reaction she gets on Facebook when she shares 13 pictures of her empty living room with the caption "Christmas back in the loft 'til next time. Love a clean fresh home after all the chaos."

The chaos being her and her 8 year old, who she claims hates Xmas. Can't say I blame him when she's packing it all away before the sprouts have even digested.

Board games seem so 70s. I thought most people below about fifty-five just went on their mobile phones or laptops these days.

That’s so depressing! Everyone just turning to screens instead of engaging with each other.

My sister in law also hates board games and has deemed them really tragic/she has a weird snobbish attitude about them.

My family doesn’t play games but I actually love playing them with my boyfriends family.
 
Blood is not thicker than water!

Just remembering that today after spending Boxing Day with my siblings who i only see once a year. One of them is staying with my parents (i went to visit) and he was so sarcastic and rude over tiny things, being condescending and mocking my mum's opinion on something before she even had a chance to finish the sentence. Often society shames people for being estranged from siblings into adulthood but jeeees I was relieved to drive home just now to my own home, knowing we'd likely not meet til next Christmas. Why do I put myself through guilt over it when every time I realise again WHY we don't get on? If I died tomorrow I don't think he would care for a minute.

Seriously society needs to stop telling adults they need to be BFFs with their siblings.

Sorry, needed to get that off my chest 😅

I have no idea why peoples go to response when you say you arent close with family or even don't speak with them is to say "Oh, you only get 1 family" or somethibt equally dismissive and condescending. Do people honestly not think it took a lot for people to get to the point of cutting family from their lives.

I bleeping hate my whole family (apart from my kids and husband) I can't even believe I am related to any of them!

Love my friends to bits though, they are all the family I need 💓
