Complain here!

[Reluctantadult]

Anyone want a good moan? Do it here!

My 7yr old is a rubbish sleeper and now I have to be tired all day.

Day two of a migraine and we have a five hour drive tomorrow to a family weekend wedding. Dreading it !

DC has received another birthday party, I don't want to go and now I have Saturday and Sunday parties on 2 separate weekends in May (5 bloody parties in total this month) meaning I can't do things I want to do with the DC cos all the parties are mid day'ish

(I know I could say no but the dc know about them and want to go)

I'm so tired today and I'm already late for work!

Everything aches me!

Ooh, I could probably fill this thread on my own! I'll restrict myself to one moan for now though. I have a new boss and she doesn't have a clue what she is doing. We are all carrying her. The worst thing is, she is arrogant with it, and rude. She told me to shut up in front of everone the other day 🙁 I don't want to go in anymore. I'm hoping she will be gone before the end of her probation period, but then we'll be back to square one, looking for a new manager.. it's all such a pain in the a.

@Youwiththeglasses do another one if you want! Better out than in...

My glasses have broken. I foolishly thought I had a chance to get to the end of the month so I invited the universe to stub me out.

Ooh yes please, big moan here!

I am recovering from a pregnancy termination (combo of many reasons, my choice, no sympathy required) and fuck me, I'm knackered.
I told my manager why I'd need time off beforehand in confidence and turns out he had my private call on speaker phone so basically everyone in work knows. Nice.

It's really heavy work (shouldn't be it's just badly run so everyone does the work of 3) for minimum wage and I'm having to use all my holiday because I'm just not physically able to do it yet.

In the mean time 2 out of 3 kids had a d&v bug so I've been up all night with them and now they're better, I've caught it.

I'm so bloody tired and sick and weak. 😩

Select specs. £6 all in plus postage. Just get your prescription from your optician and use an app to get your pupil distance.
If you contact them they'll send them urgently.

Cheers MrsP, I've fashioned a repair with nail glue and masking tape but I can't wear these outside! My Westfield doesn't renew for three months either but I can't wait that long, my neck is contorted trying to balance them and see 😃

French Vogue has gone to the dogs. I really do not care what Gigis and Kims and Bieber's wife whatshername, are up to, not a bit.
These days you can't move for yet another gushing piece on the abovementioned gang; few pages I could stomach as easily flipped past but feckin volumes!?
There was some B list celebrity pictured head to toe in large logo Gucci- they should put warning labels on such horrors. And before breakfast even. Imagine the shock!
None of the faces constantly plastered on its pages are French.
I like French fashion. If I liked American fashion I'd buy American Vogue.
Pffffffh.

I didn't realise it was thread for serious moans. Ignore my ramblings please.

I wish to moan about me... I am extremely lazy and very untidy. I regularly tell myself off but I am apparently not taking it on board. I really need to sort myself out. If it was anyone else I would be thinking "How can she live like that?". Grrr!!!

@LaburnumAlpine your moan is great though!

I hear that Deathray. I like to sit on the lav and berate myself about the inch of dust on the skirting board under the radiator. Truely obscene amount. Then walk past it when I've finished without another thought.
Until the next pee.

I had very minor success with OHIO (only handle it once) so I now manage to put the foil lid from the milk straight in the bin and not start a colony next to the kettle.
Small wins.

I was out of the office for one day and have had 74 emails 🤦🏻‍♀️

Im done with being female. I would like to cancel my subscription with immediate effect and I also would like to cancel my adulthood subscription as I feel the whole thing was mis-sold to me!! Where are all the parties and money- all I see is bills and work!!

I am only 29 weeks pregnant - I feel uncomfortable, my vag feels like it's being stretched, I'm constantly worried about my baby (even though I've been fortunate enough to have a healthy pregnancy so far) I haven't had a full night's sleep for ages, I told a friend how I was feeling her response well you've got ages yet it's going to get a whole lot worse and that came from somebody who had kids and knew how I feel she just couldn't get herself to be slightly (even if fake) sympathetic.

And Breath!

Bloody leaf blowers! What is wrong with a broom?

Covid finally caught me. This is the first time I have been ill since becoming the only parent (DH died last year). I want a hug (wouldn’t be sensible anyway as I am infectious), someone to go to the shop and buy some lemsip, work out ordering the supermarket shop to be delivered, clean the cat vomit off the carpet, cook dinner and make packed lunches and spend hours putting DC to bed. I can’t even be ill in peace because the school is closed today, yesterday DC1 claimed to have a headache and didn’t go, school shuts early on Fridays. My head hurts. I can’t go to work, so haven’t spoken to another adult in person since last Saturday and probably won’t until Wednesday.

I had one beer last night - one - I feel like death warmed up work to do, house to sort and entertainment to organise for DS who is on a half day due to the local elections *waves 🏳

I have a colleague who seems to have made it his mission to make everyone see how incompetent I am. He routinely sends e-mails to me cc all the bosses pointing out errors and/or things I have failed to do as quickly as I should. But in reality each 'error' is actually either his misunderstanding or due to information not having been passed to me. I only work part time and only a very small part of my job crosses with his so work done 'late' is always either because it was sent to me on my day off and so not done until the following day or done after I have dealt with more important and time critical jobs. I have politely pointed all of this out to him on many occasions. I am starting to reply to his e-mails (cc the bosses of course) in a passive aggressive fashion and don't like this. Last night at around 9pm he e-mailed to ask why I had sent the wrong information to a client AGAIN. In reality I sent the information exactly as it was given to me so either he has the wrong information or he has changed details and not informed me. At 9am I received a follow up e-mail (cc bosses) asking why I had not replied to his e-mail and that ignoring the error would not solve it. I have replied as politely as I can but really want to tell him to fuck off.

I've started a new management position at a new company. The previous person is still here till her notice is up next week. She only had the position for a couple months and had to step down as she wasn't managing the task very well. A team of office workers then 30+ engineers on the field. I have 12 years experience so they hired me to fill the role. So she gave in her notice.

She's not even said Hi or even spoke to me. She just sits at her desk and pulls faces at me 🤷‍♀️ very rude. She was asked to show me something and she just said she was busy. Spends most her time talking and on her phone. I'd of said something to her but I'm glad she's leaving next week haha I just hate rude people!!

Part 1: My toddler is finally tall enough to reach door handles, so wants to spend all her time opening and closing doors with absolutely zero regard for her tiny fingers which could easily get trapped. Obviously we're instantly discouraging this behaviour and distracting with toys and books but it's far too fascinating for her. We've ordered some things to put on the doors to prevent trapped fingers and they can't come soon enough.

Part 2: I'm on the phone to my doctors surgery (started as position 40 in the queue) to ask when my next midwife appointment is. I'm 24 weeks pregnant and my last was at 16 weeks. I'll be greeted with "have you checked your maternity notes?" and will have to fight the temptation to say "fuck me, why didn't I think of that(?!)". Yes I've checked the bloody notes and the last documented appointment was for 16 weeks.

Part 3: One week ago I FINALLY got over an absolutely horrendous cough. I'd had it for 17 days and it was just a total PITA. It wasn't Covid but it was a total bitch. This morning my toddler has woken up with a nasty cough. We're meant to be going away on Monday and I expect by that time I'll be ill with it.

Bollocks to the lot of it.
