So fucked off this weekend and I want to be left alone

[tinselandjoy]

Had a very long week at work working FT hours and then picking up work until about 9.30pm on three nights.

Got up at the crack of dawn for Slimming World, then took 5 yo DD out for a supposedly nice day at a nature reserve near us and she moaned and huffed and puffed and wanted DH to carry her everywhere. Bought her an ice cream, she moaned, had a picnic, she moaned - DH is usually great but he kept asking if everything was alright, if I was ok, was there anything wrong with me, despite me clearly getting hacked off because she was being so difficult.

I might 😳 be hormonal but more than anything else I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE for a bit this weekend without anyone moaning, whinging, asking if I'm ok, am I alright, is everything ok, am I feeling myself? I literally want to just have a bit of time to myself without interruption. Sure everyone gets like this sometimes but it's a crap, cold, damp February and my DD is like Wednesday Adams while DH seems to have turned into Kevin from Motherland.

I'm so incredibly fucked off this weekend... anyone else?

I'ts absolutely fine to be hacked off now and then. That's when DH should say "I'll go with DD today, you need a break love so stay at home today" Did he, or did you get mum guilt?

I hope you have your paws up now with a drink of your choice and your waiter husband doing your bidding and the bedtime stories for DD,

You are not alone.

I'm in an ok mood today. DH has been at work all day so I've been in charge. Despite the youngest having lots of meltdowns me saying no and not giving in, i haven't cracked up yet.
In about a week's time it will be premenstrual tension day and I won't be sounding as positive. I morph into a horrible person then period comes and I'm ok again.
Sounds like you need some time to yourself. Some tlc.

I'm the same. Feel like I only exist to be a slave to someone else. Other than a 3 minute shower I have not been alone to do anything. No doubt, same again tomorrow.

Indeed

Sometimes DH needs to be reassured that I'm not cross with him and given something useful to do like in your example taking DD out himself to give you a few hours peace.

Good luck xx

Have you tried actually telling him you want to be alone for a bit? He says “Is everything ok?” And you say “Actually I’m feeling really hormonal and stressed out, thanks for noticing I’m not ok. When we get home can I have a couple of hours to myself?”.

Or do you snap back at him?

Absolutely fine to be in a mood; but don’t just strop on, do something about it.
