To the person you are quarantined with what would you really like to say!?

[Rainb0w]

Dear husband,

You don't want to go to the supermarket yet you moan about what food I've got planned for today... Please either shut the f up or don't eat it and I'll save it for tomorrow for me.

What would you really like to say to the people your quarantined with but won't to keep peace?

No I don't want to write you a sodding list of jobs, stop being a knobber and use your own eyeballs.

Thank you OP, I needed that.

Well done for not all getting on each others nerves too much. So far so good here and I've been premenstrual this week, so this feels like something of a miracle

Thank you for being so amazing at looking after the kids/ homeschooling, and doing it with such a brilliant attitude, while I get on with work. (Although I tell him that everyday already!)

• I do not want to have any ‘alone’ time with you as I’d prefer to watch 20 minutes of netflix before falling asleep.

• did your mother not teach you anything?! Like, how to soak a dish when you’ve burned dinner as it saves so much time in the long run. Also, if you’re not going to clean up after yourself you’re banned from the kitchen.

• why do you ask if I need any help? I’m more than capable of cleaning/tidying but if you did want to help (without being prompted) you can clearly see the bins are overflowing.

Dear DH. My job matters too. And i know you’re the main breadwinner so it makes sense for me to be doing all the childcare plus wfh but you have no idea how fucking hard this is and how much I worry that work won’t want to keep me if this carries on for a long time. Work is my sanity.

Thank you for keeping us all going.

Please, just shut the fuck up for half an hour! Just half an hour of silence, that's all I'm asking for! Im fed up having to look up every 2 mins at some Lego 'creation' and being asked if I like it!! Even your tablet doesn't provide me with peace - who has to constantly talk while playing roblox/Minecraft?!

Dear DH, please bring me chocolate ice cream topped with squirty cream and chocolate sauce. Yours forever, A

Please just stop eating all the food ! You are not the one who has to trapse out to the shops to get more.

I don't want to play Lego, watch teen titans Go or play crocodile dentist one more fucking time DS and will you please stop fucking screaming all the fucking time, you are doing my fucking head in.

Is what I want to say...but I resort to.

Mummy just needs to finish this e-mail then we will play.

Please, just WATCH THE BLOODY FILM and stop talking 😭

He's 7 though so I can't be that mad.

Yes I know you have temp and a cough but we have both been out shopping 10 days ago so blaming it all on me and coughing around me and whinging when I’m imunocomprimised means I’m out seeing where I can dig a big enough hole in the garden

Oh I have another one.
Thank you for cleaning the (shared) bathroom but please do not keep shouting me to bring things upstairs plan your task in advance you are a capable human being. Also I don't need to compliment the cleanliness... You don't need a gold fing star.

To my kids. You're awesome. I know this is crap, but you're both doing great and I'm proud of you.

To my DH. Leave my fucking laptop alone or I will literally dropkick you down the stairs. (joking) I'm trying to work!

Seriously OP, you need to say this stuff to him.

And next time he wants you to come admire some housework. Ask him to look at the door and do a good boy pat on the head. Show him.

I am allowed to open Windows in my own f*#king House!

Please STOP telling me to be careful, not touch anything, wash my hands, etc., when I (occasionally) go to a shop. And STOP barking orders like a fucking sergeant major when we’re out for a walk and you see someone coming. ‘Keep left! Cross the road!’ I can see them for myself, thanks!

YOU were the one who persisted in going to your language class and yoga class - at a leisure centre! - after it was clearly a daft thing to do, and I’d said, ‘You’re surely not going, are you?’
(And forgot to wash your hands afterwards until I reminded you!).

Oh, you were following the (then) guidelines, were you? Well, I was using my brain according to what we were daily seeing on the news.

Thanks for being less hard work than I thought you were going to be 😂 (this is to both DH and DS).

Ooh I’m really liking this tread.

• Why do you do everything half arsed as expect praise? You stacked the dishwasher without wiping any of the dishes so they’ve still got curry stains on them and there’s Italian mixed herbs all crusted onto the mugs. Thank you for putting the dirty dishes in the cupboard as it’s a massive help. Thanks a fucking lot DP.

I know I said the 7ft long trench I have been digging in the garden was to grow vegetables and I know it seems very deep.........................

Get up off your bum and do something useful instead of lying in front of the tv all day chain smoking

Thank you for being my best friend.
Thank you for making sure we are safe.
Thank you for making me feel loved and secure.

Thank you for choosing me to be your most important person.

Yep, I am very lucky

You are quite a lovely person, DH. And I'm surprised that, despite our many years of marriage, you haven't actually got on my tits yet, even though I'm an introvert who is easily irritated by other people. Well done, you! Lockdown's going better than expected.

Thank you for putting the dirty dishes in the cupboard as it’s a massive help was he drunk?

Thank you for everything (well nearly), you’ve looked after my son, taken him to medical appointments, shopped, cleaned and cooked. You have also been brilliant company, even when I’ve been a bit (very!) miserable.
