Anyone else had a shouty day/evening?

Feeling horrendous and guilty now DC are going to sleep.

Spent the day in a horrific mood, snappy, raising my voice at everything the kids do.
Clashed with DP because I've just been in such a foul mood.
Feel like I've just had some sort of internal bitchy rage inside me.

Feel like a horrible, unfun mum who is just stressy and shouty and the guilt is taking over.

Anyone else out there feeling the same on this Sunday evening? Sad

I’m blaming the full moon!!

starpatch · 11/09/2022 19:06

Yes outside Buckingham palace after DS was in meltdown and acting out for ages and I thought we would never get away (it was him who wanted to go but not proud of myself)

Rainallnight · 11/09/2022 19:08

I had a day like that on Friday. Felt DREADFUL

WutheredOut · 11/09/2022 19:10

I hate it when people reply this … but @sandes are you me!? 😂

I have been utterly foul all day…it’s new school plus homework plus no one listening to me plus being expected to be at everyone’s beck and call but no one actually needs me they just don’t want my attention to be elsewhere

i am so very done with today and have left the family downstairs watching a film so I can have an early night

Are we blaming the moon? Excellent… I just thought I was being an utter bitch!

@WutheredOut I'm so glad it's not just me 😂

I'm all in for blaming the moon too, at least it takes the blame off me feeling like I'm just an awful parent Grin

Not too shouty but DH was out this morning and DD was wild - wouldn't listen, doing things she knows she shouldn't be doing, getting quite cheeky at times and actually got worse when he came back. I had to take myself off to count to 10 twice. I love them with all my heart but I'm glad its bedtime as I definitely need some peace and quiet until DS wakes up again!

Teapot1990 · 11/09/2022 19:18

Another who's glad it's bedtime, I got shouted at lots today by DD and feel so guilty for thinking how annoying she was! She's adorable now she's asleep haha.

Suzi888 · 11/09/2022 19:21

I said some unforgivable things to one of DM’s plants. 😂 5 hours of gardening… 5 hours!!!!

JacquelineCarlyle · 11/09/2022 19:23

I have been shouty all day too - kids non-stop fighting and wouldn't stop no matter what I said that I ended up screaming multiple times!

OutofControl3 · 11/09/2022 19:27

I have had a shouty week. Its been chaotic I think the kiddies being back at school trying to slide into that routine and I'm repeating myself it's like they genuinely don't give a crap I'm hoping for a better week buy I had tears when I told them both its homework time and angry words like your the worst mum ever! Lovely lovely family grrrr. I hate this feeling 😞

Comeintomylife9 · 11/09/2022 19:27

Yep. Think I spent 90% of the day with a raised voice with DD4. Her behaviour is incredulously ghastly at the moment.
I've just sat down with my salmon dinner for one and want to cry into it.

I felt like that last night but my dd had been acting up all day. I was happy in the morning and she was so argumentative that I ended up getting annoyed and felt guilty. She had a sleep over and I can hear them giggling way too late. The guilt is awful.

soundsystem · 11/09/2022 19:44

Yep, me. Didn't realise it was a full moon so will blame that. And that means my period is about due so will blame that as well.

Everyone will n my household has been emotional and shouty today 😩

ThrallsWife · 11/09/2022 20:08

Are you in England?

I always find that the first week back at school makes younger kids a nightmare; they are often tired, stressed and all-round emotional, so let it all out at home and it ends up making the first weekend or two really unpleasant, until they have settled back into their routines.

It doesn't help that, as a teacher, my workload after the first week back is huge, so I have singlehandedly tried to deal with my children while also working on my laptop all weekend trying to get everything ready for the next week.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 11/09/2022 20:59

Yes, today has been a crappy day.

  1. DH smashed a wine glass on the kitchen floor then waddled around bare foot instead of waiting for me to clear it up.
  2. DH got stressed trying to replace an inner tube on his bike and huffed in a deeply irritating manner.
  3. I broke a blind chain. Fixed it though.
  4. DS had a tantrum because he couldn't work out the directions to his friend's house so I had to drive him and I got lost on the way back.
  5. The cat's ill.
  6. Picked up the perfect secondhand chest of drawers and rather than waiting for me to help him, DH wrenched it out the car on his own and broke the front.

I've been in a state of barely suppressed rage all day and I'm knackered now.

BogRollBOGOF · 11/09/2022 21:11

DS is in autistic start-of-termitis with the honeymoon of settling into his new school being over. He's got pretty much no fuse before he blows.

This is co-inciding with a bad part of my cycle where my patience is not at it's optimum. It's a mood that tends to rub off on the rest of us anyway. He's too absorbed in his own thoughts and moods to register much in calm, polite requests so it all gets snarly.

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 11/09/2022 21:16

Me too. I think it's emotion and a sense of being unsettled. I'm not a royalist, but world events always make me feel awfully upset and confused, even happy ones. I have HFA and have always been the same. I am culturally Jewish and Passover used to do the same too. Mum heard from Christian friends parents with Autism that Christmas would have a similar effect on them too.

SkirridHill · 11/09/2022 21:21

I read that Mercury is going backwards or something and that impacts communication. I think horoscopes are a bag of bollocks but I'm happy to use that as an excuse!

Ahnobother · 11/09/2022 21:27

Me. I am lying in my bed fuming after a massive explosion earlier at all three DC about the ongoing state of their rooms. They were sent up to tidy them earlier and when I came up to check, two of them had made the rooms even messier.
Have kids they said, best days of your life. 🙄

I feel wiped out now and I will have to get up again shortly to make their packed lunches and stick on a wash but I thought bed was the safest place before I also fell out with DH.

WalkingOnMarshmallow · 11/09/2022 21:31

Certainly been in an absolutely horrendous mood. I'm happy to blame the moon 🌚

Tonkerbea · 11/09/2022 22:07

I've found my people. It's been a shouty, stressy day and I have Sunday night blues x100

purplepandas · 11/09/2022 22:10

Me too. This has been the end of a very stressy and shitty week. Lost it with DH who is beyond clueless. Like so many of you, at everyone else's beck and call. Rah.

Babdoc · 11/09/2022 22:14

More of a quiet reflective day. The queen’s funeral cortege passed my village en route to Edinburgh, and almost everyone turned out to line the flyover and the dual carriageway to pay our respects. It wasn’t a day for shouting, we were all subdued.

HarpicHarpy · 11/09/2022 22:19

Had my shouty day yesterday. Ds was being a little twat so found a quiet corner of the park to let rip and tell him off. Only to walk around the corner and see a very scared looking elderly couple sat on a bench that had obviously heard everything.

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 11/09/2022 22:19

Shouty weekend here. No sports for DS because they were cancelled for the queen plus dealing with the first week back at school has meant a fair bit of irritability all round
