Pardon my French....

Elderly parents ailing, sibling wanting drama where no extra is needed, moody teen and tween and difficult day at work... so for me, everything other than chocolate really!

My two year old's sleep regression
The rotten cold we all have
Just now realising I've run out of coffee
Having PMS and no chocolate in the house because weekend-me was a moron! 😂

It was the 2nd anniversary of my Dad's death yesterday. Not one fucking word from my Mum but you can bet your arse she made sure my sister was OK. Messaged her to go and see her over the weekend and she said "don't come out the weather is awful". She sees my sister every day.

I'm done with it. And will never make my kids feel the way she makes me feel Angry

I'm sorry. I bet you're an amazing mum. Sending hugs x

I'm so sorry 💐 Thinking of you.

Last weekend I found out that my hazy vision is due to a hole in the macular at the back of my eye. I'm almost blind in my other eye from glaucoma caused by work related stress some years ago. I've been referred for an operation but now, while waiting and anxious, my ears have suddenly filled with wax, so I can't see well and can hardly hear! It's bloody frustrating.

My bloody house, bought a house that needed a bit of work, no bother. Every bloody job ends up revealing a bigger issue and is suddenly much more time and expense so I'm on day 2 of no bloody kitchen with a toddler 😭

My sore neck. I’ve been told it can only get worse. It can fuck right off.

My friend’s twat of a boyfriend- he can fuck off and stay there.

I'm really sorry, that is sh*t, you don't deserve it and that is not your fault.
I'm sure you're an amazing mum. My DGM is like this with my DM, but despite this my DM is the most fantastic DM and we would be lost without her.

Cosycore · 28/01/2025 19:33

Feeling like I don’t want to be here. I want to be with my babies.

Being absolutely brassic all the time, even though I've JUST BEEN PAID 😑😱

This 👆 plus so cold even with heating on, cellulitis for the second time in 3 months.

All the January trolls on MN - always feels like there is an upsurge in Jan. A lot of miserable bored people out there.

The car dealership that has my car today for a fairly straightforward mechanical repair. Waited ages to book it in. Had to nip outside to move the car (lack of customer parking and I'd blocked someone in), got back to find I'd lost my place in the queue and waited ages again. That was 9:30am. They were supposed to call me when it was ready. I called them at 5pm as I was getting concerned and told someone would call me back. Called again at 6pm and waited almost 20 mins before giving up. They're closed now. I've had no call, I have no car, and no idea what the fuck is going on. Tomorrow morning they're going to get a rocket up their arse and I'll be telling it as it is when they send out the inevitable survey "tell us how we did". Grrr!😡

I don't think it is French, but comes from old German.

Although interestingly it seems the French have adopted it as I have seen (more than once)
'F Macron' and 'F ...' all manner of things, sprayed on walls in France.

Whoever added anonymously negative feedback to my appraisal at work.

I ask for feedback from my team regularly. Why couldn't whoever it was just tell me first, even if hinting, rather than say everything is great then complain behind my back. And because its anonymous I have no idea who it is or how to fix it.

In fact, work, and all the unpaid overtime I end up doing, can fuck right off. Honestly could just quit.

The people who do DBS checks who want original hard copies of bank statements, P60s etc. They are all online now, and they won't accept a printed version of an online document. Grr!

Sallysoup · 28/01/2025 19:46

The fucking cold.
The fucking darkness.
Driving to work and back in the cold and darkness.
Not getting to the gym because I'm working late and feel guilty leaving teen dd to come home in the cold and dark every evening after school.
It's the 87th of January.
It's fucking cold and dark and my sunrise alarm clock is fooling nobody.

Fordian · 28/01/2025 19:47

@RampantIvy and they're just a money making rort.

Sarah at work. You can think you’re better than me in every way but I see through your bullshit and I’m just glad I’m not you.

My temporary veneer on my front tooth that has now fallen off for a second time. I fly to Sri-Lanka Friday and I cannot go without a front fucking tooth!!!!

Rip off student house landlords charging thousands for shitty little homes and their enablers whinging 'but they have to pay a mortgage and dont forget they will be high end tax payers so NEED to take money that young people with financially fucked parents dont have'.

Mortages cost £60k a year + in the north for a falling apart 3 bed bought 15 years ago, do they?

Ds has been asked for over 3k to pay for a shitty little room in a shitty little student house for the three months he won't even be living there this summer.

Clearly, paupers shouldn't be allowed higher education.

StrawberryD · 28/01/2025 19:51

EE can fuck right off because after being on the phone with them for an hour and a half this evening I still won't have internet for another two weeks.
If anyone is thinking of going with EE DONT DO IT

My partner always sticking up for his mother over me.
His mother for being a pain in the ass and being unable to just follow an agreed plan.
