Do yoy live in a grumpy home or happy home?

[unlikelychump]

I think of myself as a cheerful soul but am beginning to realise that this may not be true. My kids are hard work and my dog is really hard work and it is all a bit miserable. I don't think I am as fun as I imagine.

I need to sort this out. Has anyone else been in this situation?

Dog is actually DH. I don't have a dog. Dogs are generally cheerful!

I think everyone lives in a mixture of grumpy and happy. All depends on what's happening at the time really.

I'd say mostly happy to be honest. Maybe helps that my kids are older teens and not too much hard work? We laugh a lot and don't really argue.

Not happy and not grumpy just bobbing along as we are.

I was the cheerful one for years. I tried really hard not to be grumpy like those I lived with and worked at keeping the mood light.

Post cancer and I don't do it anymore. Feel like I don't have time for that shit anymore.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Everything in life goes in peaks and troughs. I live with my husband and two teenage children. We both work a lot but also have great lives.

Someday, even weeks are lovely and great with everything going to plan. Other weeks we all hate each other can't look at each other and I look on zoopla for a house of my own! LOL.

From experience, people who make out that their lives are happy perfect and wonderful all the time are generally utterly utterly full of shit! They are usually insecure and try to live up to something they cannot.

Some days are good. Sundays are bad life is basically one big app and flow.don't look into it too deeply

A tired home. Overworked,underpaid, making us exhausted and ill.
But... we trudge on,my Husband is always the one staying positive eating, laughing with our teen boy, making sure he's OK. Me? I do not know how to relax into been a fun person anymore, I'm not grumpy just a constant anxious mess

Dump the dh are you happy when he is away

Not grumpy, just tired, skint, overworked, and overwhelmed. But there is a lot of laughter in this house. Sometimes it is mine.

A mixture. Me and DD are the happy 😊 ones DP and SS are the glass half empty kind of people.

Sometimes grumpy
very occasionally happy
most of the time just bumbling along.

i live alone 😜

It's just me and my 15 yr old son. We are pretty chilled and enjoy all the little things and like laughing at all sorts. We make light and try and find positives in everything, don't stress the small stuff.

So, slow paced but pretty happy house I'd say.

Happy for the vast majority of the time. But DD is now 19 and reverted to the happy kid she used to be after some Very Trying teenage years, I'm on HRT so my moods are on an even keel and I divorced many years ago. Life always throws the odd curve ball, but we have a lovely life and have a lot to be grateful for.

A very happy home 95% of the time.

I live on my own so it's just my moods I need to worry about.

I complain a lot but dh and the dc take the piss out of me rather than anything else and we laugh about it. It's not a tense or stressful household apart from the rare outbursts when dc1 gets overwhelmed. We have shared jokes and ways of being silly but also have a lot of serious, pissed off moments. In short, our house is a bit of both.

Grumpy

Happy. Just me and my three young adults - and the cat.

When my children were younger I picked my battles so all fairly relaxed

Now they have finally flown the nest husband is actually massively annoying me !!.Swings and roundabouts !!

It’s just me and pusscat in our happy home ☺️

We have the normal grumps/tiredness/bickering but are generally a happy household. Not picture perfect or social media big smiles all the time, but definitely veer towards warmth and humour over angst where we can. When everyone coincides at being knackered and annoyed at the same time, it doesn’t work so well. But taking as a rule the idea to always try to be light hearted, generous and think well of each other works fine. It doesn’t mean ignore serious things but also don’t make small things into bigger issues than they need to be.

Happy now we got rid of 'Grumpy'😂

Mostly happy and laughing even when I have shit going on. Occasionally have a grumpy moment. It probably helps a lot that I don't live with a man and we co parent equally so I get time to be me too. Perfect

Happy and relaxed 99% of the time.

Happy but can be quiet. Just me and DH now and his job is quite exhausting so despite me chattering away of an evening he can't be arsed sometimes!

I wouldn't say we're happy as there's a lot of crap in our lives right now, but we laugh a lot.
