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!

Chronic bloody fatigue. Into year 10 now. Enough already.

Also menopause

andyouwillknowusbythetrailofdead · 28/01/2025 21:40

The constant, constant pressure and worry.

The knowledge that just when you think you've hit the bottom and nothing more can go wrong, something fucking does.

IWanderedLonely · 28/01/2025 21:41

In no particular order:
Bereavement - 10 weeks in, just shit
Work - covering my job-share's illness. I only have so many hours in a day, stop mithering me with trivial complaints.
Menopause- just fuck off
Sleep - please, just 1 night's good sleep would be amazing.
Mirrors- I know I'm overweight, I don't need reminding.

Having a bump in my car - ran into the back of another car. We were going at crawling speed.... I forgot to brake!

Crack to his 1yr old bumper. My 15yr old - nothing. Not a scratch!

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

Sorry you feel like that.

Beautifulsunflowers · 28/01/2025 21:54

My new work colleague who does nothing but moan all day, especially about it being busy! It's a busy environment- not sure what she thought it was going to be like but definitely had no idea.

Justgivemehotchocolate · 28/01/2025 21:56

Rain, cold and wind
Bastard PIP forms
Autism and all its accompanying comorbidities
Fecking Potholes everywhere, school run is like a daily slalom race.

TheWildRosie · 28/01/2025 21:57

Boiler packed up,
Car going the same way.

Norovirus.
Expensive plumbing issues.

Arrgh..Confused

JustAGalWhoLovesBooks · 28/01/2025 22:02

DH. Can't wait for the day I can join some of you in saying ExDH.

January.

Cold number 3 of the year.

The weather.

The news.

The commute to work.

BurntBroccoli · 28/01/2025 22:03

Went to Boots for some Ibuprofen Lysine for migraines- didn't have any.
Remembered I needed some Hydrogen Peroxide (I use it well diluted as a mouthwash once a week). Didn't have any (and apparently don't sell it anymore).
Tried the next chemist - same story!

The endless fucking managers, senior managers, heads of department at work who sit around dreaming up zillions of tiny, inconsequential problems and never actually put any of them right, but just have meeting after meeting after meeting TALKING ABOUT IT. Fuck OFF with the tinkering and discussions and updates and questioning and let us get on with our ACTUAL WORK that we've ACTUALLY DONE FOR 20 YEARS!

Waystation · 28/01/2025 22:15

This bloody “dream house in the country” if the roof is not leaking walls are collapsing, garden is a swimming pool (we don’t have a pool it’s flooded) spent a lot of money getting it perfect but things keep going wrong - now I just hate the place - and the mud - so much mud - I want to go back to my old house - but DH loves it here…..

Oh god definitely this.
I looked at my managers calendar and there was about 6 hours a week without meetings.
What do they actually do? They don't manage as we already know how to do our work!

TunipTheVegimal24 · 28/01/2025 22:19

Oh! And Green Party trying to reduce our bin collections to MONTHLY 😱Fuck off. Fuck off, and leave our bins the fuck alone!

Almondina · 28/01/2025 22:22

Narcissist boss - how do twits get to be so senior? Idiot colleague who thinks being male makes him world expert on everything. Like to see the fucker deal with brittle menopause nails AND a period.

CagneyNYPD1 · 28/01/2025 22:24

January.

This gawd awful virus that has floored me, DH and DS at various points throughout the month that should not exist (January).

The cold, the wind and the rain of January.

Ailing mother.

Needy sister.

They can all do one. Or in classic MN language...January can fuck off to the far side of fuck and when it gets there, it can fuck off some more.

autumngirl714 · 28/01/2025 22:29

My ex husband being a patronising, arrogant little prick who thinks he knows everything when it comes anything and everything and who always lands on his feet, especially with the children, who see him as super dad, despite him being the biggest and most annoying flake in the tuck shop!!!!!
Him and his annoying voice and announcing cough can absolutely F right off!!!!!!!!

SuperFi · 28/01/2025 22:54

This bloody virus, coughing so hard I keep wetting myself, and I haven’t felt this tired since being pregnant.

CoastalCalm · 28/01/2025 23:11

Frozen shoulder

thieving tradesmen

It's coming up soon and I've barely seen my poor son .
AND his mock Leaving Certificate starts this week too !
Poor kids - awful 😞!

AttwoodBerryDee · 28/01/2025 23:33

Everything was just calming down...... and then I got diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease after being rushed to A&E with abdominal problems. It does explain an awful lot, but god I'm absolutely poleaxed AGAIN.

AttwoodBerryDee · 28/01/2025 23:33

Not forgetting the bonus arse injection of antibiotics. It really fucking hurt!
