My DD age 8 is popular girl with lots of neighbourhood pals. For some reason our home is the go to house. Every fucking day this summer my doorbell is rang before noon by some kid or another wanting to play either in my house with DD or in my back garden. I try and tell DD to go play at the park or go to the other kids back gardens, and sometimes she will, but usually they all return after a short time because they are bored 😑
Sometimes DH is sleeping during the day(shift worker ) and the kids (including my DD) can be too noisy. I also just want to get out of bed and look ugly in my ugly slob clothes and ugly hair and not have to keep and eye on the kids or even the fact that they eat the snacks I've bought for my own kids.
Why the hell don't these kids parents ever think to themselves, "oh you've been at such and such's house a lot this summer, maybe give her mum a break? Or I guess they are just happy that their kid is outside their house and don't care that I don't want your kid in my house every day of the summer hols! 🤯
I generally am of the "I hate unexpected visitors" crowd but for kids I know I don't need to be perfectly dressed or the house doesn't need to be super tidy, but man I some days I just want to sit and slob in front of the tv and I feel I can't relax at all when the door is going and kids coming and going through my house and garden 😭😭
AIBU or would this make you crazy too?
