You sound awful. So bitter. You have zero idea about my life. How to piss on someone’s chips.

Show quote history

Not bitter at all. We have no mortgage and 6 months left on a personal loan. Only because DC in private school.
we all make our choices and I respect yours. I don’t presume you are bitter (or lazy).
Enjoy your day …and many of them. Nice that you needed to post on here about a rare day off.

You’re not mean at all! Enjoy your day! I’m back to work tomorrow but can’t wait for the drive in 😂 I will be stopping for a takeaway coffee and snacks, listening to all MY favourite songs.. bliss!

namechangetheworld · 04/01/2026 21:01

The bitterness on this thread is hilarious.

Mine are back to school on Tuesday and I have a day off because I work part time. I'm going to take the decorations down, catch up on Stranger Things and be a drain on society. Can't bloody wait!

honest question why is your go to that shes a ‘drain on society?’ Aside from the fact that a sahm isn’t a drain on society, she could have any job with irregular hours or days!!

Except OP will be on here complaining in a few years about seeking work mid 50's and working until 67 years.
it's hard. It's all hard.
Full time work when your kids are little (me with 3 since twins were 5 months). it's hard.
work when you're 67 years. It's hard.
choose your hard!
I'm out the gap at age 55 (6 years time) with defined benefit scheme (teacher).
will suffer OPs kids tomorrow (not as smug as OP) ... and bide my time.

Oh no you can't possibly work or have ever worked a day in your life because, you know, you have tomorrow off. Some people are just miserable scrooges all year round. Enjoy tomorrow!

OP do you not realise that a large majority of people reading this will in fact be going back to work having had very little break at all.

This does not mean she can't enjoy her day off or be excited to have a day for herself?

I work in a busy supermarket and have worked every weekend for the past six weeks, Christmas Eve, New Years and every day/ evening or night they could possibly have me. know I’m using it as an argument here but I don’t say to my friends who are pissed off tomorrow that actually they at least got to have a bit more breathing space or time to get ready over Christmas!! Who cares if op works or is a sahm!!! Enjoy op!! (I will be cleaning tomorrow for my day off but will definitely have some me time first!!)

You seem confused about the concept of diversity of views

She clearly doesn't work full time and so

I think she's a drain on society and smug about it thus unreasonable

Show quote history

How do you know I don’t? How the hell do you know anything about my work life?? Just because I am at home alone tomorrow for 6 hours

Don’t feel bad! I remember when our kids were teenagers and going away with the school. Bus was leaving at midnight and after saying our fond farewells, the bus pulled away and we all waved. As it turned the corner, every parent leapt in the air and cheered. You’re just wanting a bit of down time. It’s not like wishing them all to go away forever!

That's really funny

I don't understand this post, are you saying that because the OP is not working tomorrow that she doesn't have a job?

I've a day off tomorrow - an extra day's holiday. I work full time.

Dh back to work
Dc back to school

I am the type who normally feels sad holidays are over and kids are back and so on, but this holiday hasn’t been great and I cannot wait for 9 am tomorrow.
I intend to stop at the shop for treats and spend until pick up watching Netflix shows…blissfully alone! (aside from the dogs-who are no trouble)

Even the dog and the cat have been pests here.

This was almost me, I do work but evenings so I get my days to myself during term time, but schools and nurseries closed due to snow! So I have them both at home again. Oh well. At least no trying to get out of the house early doors for another day!
