Feeling quite overwhelmed and teary today and I've just about had enough. I'm sick of lockdown, I'm sick of my kids. I'm fed up with being wanted and being a mother in general. I don't want to entertain them I just want to be left alone. I keep wishing I could be struck down with an illness where the kids dad would have to have them and I could just rest in bed.
I'm still working 6 days a week which I'm grateful for because it get me out for half the day but I dread coming home. My youngest is relentless and I find her so difficult, she's an absolute terror and I've enjoyed a weekend of peace while her and her sister were at their dads. I'm exhausted and been home an hour and I've not even showered because from the second I walked in the door I've made lunches and had to retrieve the youngest 109875 times from doing something she shouldn't be doing! My ex is pissing me off he was meant to start back at work today but he didn't go and instead of looking after the little ones while I was at work he didn't show up and left my eldest to look after them Angry I just want them back at school and nursery and life to be back to how it was.

Right that's me done, who else needs to rant? I'm all ears 👂🏻

I’m still working. Every day. I don’t get to just sit around and do nothing all day. I don’t have the time to just do this it that. You do it. Arghhhhhhhh

To my new neighbours who are at war;
If you take it out on to the street and start shouting 'pedo' at each other, you should know the house opposite yours homes a retired magistrate.

I'm pregnant, working and trying to deal with an almost three year old who is tantrum central. Exhausted and fed up. If I read another post about what to read or crafts to try on lockdown I'm going to scream. I've literally never had less time, energy or peace in my entire life - even when the toddler was first born and screamed her head off for six months!

In my friendship group most of them had their children young so their kids are 15+ now whereas we had ours late so are nearly 8 and nearly 3. We are WFH (me only very part time) and despite my eldest being reasonably good at achieving his school work it's erm, busy here.

On our WhatsApp group there is constant chat about how bored they are and how much clearing up they've done, how clean their houses are and anyone got Netflix recommendations etc etc. Ooh it's 3pm and I'm in the garden with my book and a cider, Just had a lovely stroll to the allotment and pottered for a few hours.

I know they've served their time and my time will come yadda yadda and I love my kids and this unprecedented family time so much and I love my friends with my very soul and would happily fight for them but frankly today I'm so bloody jealous I just want to give them a high five... in the face... with a chair Grin

My neighbours haven't stopped having family round or doing barbecues for friends since lockdown began. It's making me ragey because their grandkids shriek for 5 hours solid and the son in law is a loud, opinionated gobshite. Fed up of listening to him wanking on every weekend, when I'm in my own bloody house!

To my lovely friends: no I'm not going to come round and see you at the weekend even in a socially distant way because we're NOT ALLOWED!
To my neighbours: please, please stop your children from shouting all day long. You're all only a couple of metres away from each other so it's really not needed and it's giving me rage. I want to be a considerate neighbour but it's making me want to have a bonfire and play death metal at full volume.

My ex is ignoring my calls and text messages, when it's gravely important. I just found out last night that I've miscarried. And I've cried it all out but now I am goddamn livid! I am so sick of his immature ways, he's 35 years old!!! Too damn old, to be so childish! I want to tear him apart! I'm so sick of giving pieces of myself to men who doesn't deserve it, this will be the last damn time for a while!!!! I am fed up!!!
