What bits of adulthood do you find shit?

[Iwonder777]

Mine is shopping - specially food shopping.

The washing up atm; usually don't mind it but it's ENDLESS at the moment!

And hoovering the stairs. I'm considering a dust buster to make it quicker.

The crushing responsibility for everything. Paying bills, preparing meals, making sure the house is clean and everyone has clean clothes...

All of it. Incessantly boring 95% of the time with exciting bits to stop you killing your self till the next holiday

I hear ya 😂

Finding an excuse other than "my Mum says I can't" when I don't want to do something, it was such a classic definitive no.

All of the meetings. You never see kids having meetings, do you? Because meetings are shit, that’s why. Especially when someone brings biscuits to make it more fun. It’s never going to be fun! It’s a meeting!

That time when you've been out all day and you're knackered and just want to sit down and watch telly or even sleep. Instead, you have to continue dealing with the kids, cook the dinner, hang the washing out etc. Argh.
I commented to Dp that's the only time I wish there was someone else to do the adulting for a bit as I want a bloody break!

Filling up my car with petrol! Don't know why I hate it so much

The responsibility. The inability to just fuck off and do whatever you want with no consequence.
My DS asked me what it's like being an adult and bake to do what you want. You can't! I can't decide tomorrow that I want to go away for a few days. I have to think about work, the kids, DH, whether I can afford it etc. The whole thing sucks!

Cleaning the shower. And the paperwork, sorting insurance and pensions and paying bills. BORING!

The monotony of household tasks

Spending money on Invisible Things

Taxes

The fact that the older you get the less friends you have because everyone's capacity for friendship and other peoples shit drops

The knowledge that it REALLY isn't fair, not like they assured you at school - life isn't particularly merit based. Sometimes the most terrible people get whatever they want, and good people get hit by unfairness after unfairness. There is no metric that evens it out.

the endless running list in your head. I need to get the boiler serviced, sort the car MOT, buy ds school shoes, ring up re dd EHCP, meal plan, sort out bus passes for back to school, arrange oven repair person, order dd repeat precription etc, etc etc !!

Cooking

Spending money on stuff that isn't appealing and you don't appear to have anything to show for it - bills and so on!

I don't like changing the bedding, it feels like such a big job

That feeling that whenever I've crossed everything off my to do list, there's a load more stuff that needs doing - more food shopping, more laundry, more bills, insurance renewals, something needs fixing. I live under this delusion that one day I'll have crossed everything off my to do list and be able to sit back and relax

The amount of mundane stuff you have to do daily. Work, housework it's all so dull

The thinking.

Thinking about what's happening today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. Meals, school stuff, work stuff, home stuff, family stuff, friends stuff, birthdays, Christmas, holidays...

Sometimes I just want someone to do the thinking for me for a change.

People. They create unnecessary drama. Life is easy, but the majority of people seems to complicate the fuck out of it.

All of it.

All of it! And my house isn't even clean, I do the bare minimum and it's still shit.

Doing tax returns! Making really big scary decisions. Sometimes I’d really like someone to tuck me up in bed and read me a soothing story!

Cleaning, tidying up, feeding pets and people endlessly.

Dealing with petty two faced people and not having the blissful ignorance of a child but being able to see it and having to live with it every. Single. Day

All of it. The constant housework. Going to work, especially the commute. Making sure the kids aren't eating crap and watching mind numbing youtube videos all day. The bills. The meal planning. The washing up. The preparation so you've got your shit together for the week ahead. The constant clothes washing. Feeling like my body is falling to bits. Did I mention the bills? Running a twatting car and all that entails. Life admin. Grocery shopping. Bills.

The best thing is my kids. And even then they can be a handful.

Solving other people's problems to get everyone out of the door in the morning.

Being relieved to get to work for a break.

Having to deal with other people's problems all day at work.

Being glad the working day is over and looking forward to going home for a break.

Getting home and being faced with yet more problems to solve.

Then it's bedtime and none of the problems that you've solved are your own - they're still on your to-do list.

Getting up and doing the whole thing all over again.
