Fed up with this now

Today I've had a massive row with OH - he's done half a job of making dinner, making it inedible, and I've basically had to redo it. So dinner will be late.

Trying to teach 10yo a new craft (think knitting or similar) at their request - and they're either messing about or not paying attention so messing it up then expecting me to sort it out. I told them to put it away until they're more attentive and now I'm the worst mum ever.
Now OH, who's been a misery all weekend is suddenly playing the role of "parent of the year" while I've shut myself in my bedroom.

And I feel really let down by friends etc in all this - I know everyone has their own shit going on, but no one wants to make time to chat. I get very little alone time and spend most of it on social media, which makes me feel worse!

I'm so fed up with not being able to escape from them all (can't go out as I'm shielding).

They haven’t got time to talk because in between taking photos of perfectly behaved children and their perfectly cooked baking projects, they’re cleaning up cat sick, arguing with their husbands and wishing that they were a million miles away from where they are now.
