Anyone else want a No Judgement rant thread?

[31weeksgone]

This fucking sucks.

The whole thing bloody sucks. We’re in a house, with no garden, with a very “active” 4 year old.

Every single day before lockdown we would be out at the farm/beach/park when not at nursery and work.

DP is a key worker (as was I before I had to stay home to look after her, and started a degree) so whilst I get everyone sacrificing themselves and I’m really grateful, sometimes you need a place to just bloody vent So please don’t jump on me for this.

Stuck at home. With no garden or any outdoor space in this lovely weather, watching everyone out the window enjoying their gardens, with a “D”P I properly hate and was in the process of leaving. I don’t want to feel grateful 24/7 that we’re safe at home, I’m not grateful I’m stuck in, and I want to wallow for 20 minutes without having to be gracious 😡😡

Want to shake anyone who preaches not to go for a walk and to stay home. You’re allowed out for a walk!! It seems none of my neighbours know this the looks I’m getting, I also have to take food to my parents an hour away so no doubt I look dodgy driving away once a week for a few hours.

I was so looking forward to my last summer with my daughter before she started school. Now it’s this.

Anyone else want to rant/wallow/have a pity party please join my thread. No judgement here

I think anyone with a garden should stay in it and anyone without a garden and with young dc should be left the parks. Only read the op and my heart goes out to her x

Can I join in?

I've had to shut down the lucrative part of my business as there are no sporting events so instead having to quickly build up the new part so I can keep my staff in employment - oh and myself.

I've lent a number of physios to the NHS and have been "seconded" myself to a covid response team so doing two jobs and working 16 hours a day.

I have a mother in law who has stage IV cancer and has been responding well to chemo - but now can't have any for god knows how long.

My equally elderly father is struggling under lockdown and having flashbacks to when he was a child hiding from the Germans.

My beloved nephew is a student physio and his course has been stopped so he's now stuck at home with all of us and can't see anyone.

My partner lives in another part of the country and for various reasons we can't move in together for the duration. He's struggling as despite being an introvert he's also a natural entertainer who needs to speak and interact with people. He is an actor so has no income.

It's shit.

Do you know what else is pissing me off? All these folk posting on Facebook 'oh look, another virtual quiz night with the fam over Zoom.' It's like 'look how cool my friends and family are!'

No-one in my family seems remotely interested in doing anything like that.

Everything is just completely getting on top of me at the moment, my heart is breaking that my daughter is watching other children play in paddling pools outside asking why she can’t and we can’t even sit down in a park for a bit as that’s the crime of the fucking century. Sorry I haven’t kept up with everyone else’s rants, and super sorry to anyone having lost a family member or friend. Really really starting to of had enough now. Have jam packed as much as I can into the days to make them go quicker but I’m just exhausted. for everyone x

@31weeksgone sorry you are feeling so lousy - there are only so many activities a person can face, they’ve already watched lots of tv, done science experiments, reading, homework, drawing and it’s not even lunchtime 😂

At least its a day of chocolate today, and I’m not saying no to anything. I’ll cope for a day of sugar high mania

Today is shit. I don't feel I can moan too much though as there are people here far worse off that I am. I do feel like a caged animal though.

bakedbeanzontoast

You most certainly can moan, freely and without judgement.

@trappedsincesundaymorn 🌹

Thank you. I hope all of this will be over soon. I feel sorta fortunate I'm going to only lose my job though considering the torture other folks are going through.

My grandmother who lives in shelteees housing is now losing her mind with the isolation as they are preventing her from seeing her partner who lives in the same building. She now has no interaction with anyone. Aside from calling daily there is not much else that can be done, but she had pretty serious MH problems prior to all of this kicking off.

I am on my daily waddle and feeling like a bag of shit myself - I know it will come with its own challenges and I'd never try to understand them but I half wish I had children to do an Easter egg hunt with lol!

At the pimento I try to sleep as late as possible to make the day go in but again I imagine that's impossible with children too.

You all have my sympathies. I hope there is some sort of glimmer of hope of returning to normality on Friday although it seems like some folk would be disappointed if any element of this was lifted. I cannot wait to get my ass in a cafe again and have a decent coffee and go to the cinema!!

Fucking typos 😤😬

Oooh cinema, now you’re talking, that’d be nice. And yes decent coffee!

I really want to have a nice glass of merlot in a pub garden somewhere right now....if I have another in the garden the neighbours will think I've turned into an alcoholic(I'm sure the recycling folk already think I am!!).

@Potterspotter lol I was devastated when the latest fast and furious film was put back to next year (no slobbering over vin diesel for me lol!!) 🤣

@trappedsincesundaymorn I'm so sorry to read what's been going down for you.

We all must treat ourselves once this is over in the best way we can.

@bakedbeanzontoast I do like an action thriller too - the good news is that the autumn releases should be immense!

@trappedsincesundaymorn I wouldn’t worry about the empties, the glass recycling around me suggests that a lot of us are worrying unnecessarily about the same judgment

I’d like one of the beer gardens in Morse for my outdoor red wine drinking imaginations.

I really want to have a nice glass of merlot in a pub garden somewhere right now....if I have another in the garden the neighbours will think I've turned into an alcoholic(I'm sure the recycling folk already think I am!!).

Far more likely they're going to think, 'I wonder if she's got a glass to spare, and whether it would be very cheeky if I asked, because I've gone through my supplies. . .'

bakedbeanzontoast Thank you and I hope things get better for you soon.

Potterspotter It looks worse than usual as I forgot to put the recycling out last week, well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I am fed up with my mother in law ringing up and sighing down the phone at how hard we are finding this without actually listening to me when I tell her how we are doing. I want to tell her to fuck off. I am fed up of other people telling me how I'm finding this generally, I want to tell them all to fuck off.
I am worried, scared, grateful, angry, peaceful, and a wide range of other emotions just like everyone else is if anyone would actually listen to me when I reply.
Thank you for this thread. Genius.

mbosnz I'm down to my last half a bottle and those feckers are having none of it, none I say.

Can I join please?

My house is a tip. We're renovating and had to postpone the jobs that were booked due to lockdown.

I've cricked my neck and can't get comfy.

I made lamb for lunch for dh to decide he doesn't actually like lamb or roast dinner.

The cat is being a pain in the backside all day every day.

Our neighbours don't seem to understand what lockdown is and seem to have people round al the time or be announcing that they're going to visit family 🤨

Is it too early for gin?

No it's not too early for gin. I'm getting wine when I can be bothered to go downstairs.
My house is a shit tip too. I don't have the same excuse as you. I am so relieved that no one apart from us can see it.

I fed up of feeling exhausted the thought of a walk makes me feel tired but I need to get ds out

I’m fed up of friends who try to justify their breaking the guidelines - do it then but don’t justify it to me I didn’t say anything and I am not interested in your excuses

I’m fed up with not having adequate PPE at work

I’m fed up of cooking I want a McDonalds

I’m fed up of the ex who is miles always telling me I’m doing everything wrong and I should have a job like normal people who can work from home. I feel guilty enough ds is more at at risk but that’s the way it is

This headache won’t go that is pissing me off too

I just had the first gin. Catch up!

Definitely not too early for gin, if it's too early for gin then it's too early for rum and orange (which I'm currently drinking and making no apology for).

My neighbours have got family visiting, 4 full car lots of family ~18 people in total...3 of whom are quite elderly. I'm beginning to think that vast swathes of this country no-longer understand their native language (and yes, I'm sure my neighbours are native speakers), or that common sense hasgone the way of the dodo.
