Ok, so one of my many pet hates is people who lie. Obviously I've told a few white lies in my time (like telling my boyfriend that the top I'd just bought was £25 and not £60!!!), so I don't claim to be perfect! But, I don't lie about aspects of my personal life in a desperate bid to make myself seem more interesting!

My boyfriend's cousin is one of these people - she lies about everything (down to what colour underwear she is wearing, I imagine) and is well known for it. Even her family take what she says with a pinch of salt!

She is currently about 23 weeks pregnant with her second baby, which has given her yet another topic to tell lies about - they have been coming thick and fast! Firstly, she said that she and her partner had been trying for another baby for ages (he's married and has 4 children with his wife) despite the fact that he didn't want their first baby (a little boy, who is now 6) and asked that she have an abortion and now rarely has anything to do with him - he doesn't even pay any money towards his upkeep. Then, she said that initially she was pregnant with twins, but lost one of them. Then, at about 10 weeks pregnant she said she had been for a scan and had been told the baby was a little girl!! Following on from that she has apparently been taken into hospital on several occasions due to bleeding, but each time she has been told everything is fine. Also, she apparently suffered from terrible morning sickness right up until 18 weeks pregnant - she couldn't hold down any food or water and was sick about 7 times a day - yet somehow she didn't lose any weight (in fact, she gained loads!) and wasn't admited to hopsital to be re-hydrated at any point despite how severe her sickness was. There are a whole multitude of other problems that she has had so far, but there are too many for me to remember!!

The problem is as well, her story changes regularly, so there are always things that differ each time she relays her 'tragedies' to anyone within earshot. So, it's extremely hard to be sympathetic towards her or trust that anything she says is true.

I probably sound a little bit harsh, but I don't understand why people feel the need to lie on such a grand scale?!?!

Anyway, rant over I think! Just needed to get it off my chest!

I don't like people that lie either, it must be hard for you. I think it is usually for attention, to many things happen on a regular basis to the same person, they like to be the centre of attention.

I don´t know why people have to lie like that....totally weak in my opinion...it´s impossible to detect gender at 10 onan U/S unless you get a very special test but thatis really expensive...I got my BIG U/S at 20 weeks actually....Im glad I waited...I think the earliest is 16 weeks where it´s more accurate. Blah to people like that...it really annoys me too

Oh god, what a drama queen! That would annoy me to, i detest people like that..everything always has to be about them, they can't stand anyone else having any attention. I wouldn't give her any attention otherwise you'll just get wound up..ugh, how annoying.

Thankfully I don't see her very often at all! She lives in Birmingham and the only reason I was subjected to her tragic tales was because she happened to be visiting my boyfriend's mum at the same time I was! My boyfriend absolutely detests her - he can't even stand to be in the same room as her!!!

She's 38 years old for goodness sake, yet she behaves like a child with her constant lies and attention seeking! Stupid woman!!!

My BIL is a bit like that, he is type one diabetic, but there is always some thing wrong!! And always goes on about it, when normal people would just get on with it and not go on about it!


Rant away!!
