To be stressed about this?

[thefirstmrsDeVere]

Ok, following on from 'lots of needy threads' thingy.

Here is your space to tell everyone what is 'stressing' you at the moment. I mean 'stress' because we all know its not the end of the world, there are people far worse off than us blah blah. I have a seperate thread for the thing that causes me real, deep down stress and I have the SN boards for my other really stressful thing.

This is for the stuff like:

Someone in my family messed up the combination on the little padlock I keep on a certain kitchen cupboard (long story, dont judge). I bought a combination lock because someone kept losing the key to the other one. So at stupid oclock this morning I had to unscrew the bloody door to get at the baby breakfast that is also kept in there (note - I dont lock the baby food up, it is just kept in there as well)

Did the shopping in Morrisons today, full of horrible people shouting at each other and buying pies. Got to my car, opened the boot only to find my OH had put the buggy in there and didnt think to tell me. Drove home with boxes of rice crispies etc falling on me every time I turned the corner.

DC2's school bus is late every flippin day and its COLD.

Next promised I could have my new biker boots today and they LIED.

All that lovely hair I had thanks to two quite close together pregnancies has now fallen out. Crowning glory? No.

Anyone want to join me in a big ol whinge fest?

Ok.

I'm knackered. Ds was a little late for school, some dozy git crashed into the side of the bus as I was on the way back (just a scrape really). I'm broke, my mothers been in hospital for 3 months (don't ask), I've just used up all my ink printing off a witness statement for her solicitor, it won't fit in the prepayed envelope so now I'm going to have to pay postage. I have bills galore and not alot to pay them with. Ds never wants to see his father again after he sweard at him.

Is this enough?

I'm tired (5wk old baby, 2yr old and a 9yr old)

I'm fast turining into a twt that is too chickin sht to leave the house. (havnt been out for a week) This would be fine, but my 2yr old is climbing the walls so feeling v. guilty & crap.

Hover broke. Had tried to fix it and ended up with the bloody thing emptying onto living room carpet.

AHHHHHHHH!

I am feeling stressed because Britain has turned into a hedonistic wasteland and I worry about my kids' futures

I'm stressed because I really want to know why the OP's kitchen cupboard is locked. I promise not to judge - I hide food from teenage son all the time then forget about it. Found a Yorkie bar in my knicker drawer once...

Volunteered to help out with something recently, then get an accusative e-mail telling me all the things I need to do as I am apparently 'running the show! AAaargh, scream! At least it's early enough in the academic year to seriously back track. Will think at least twice, if not three or four times, before I volunteer for anything again.

And it was using my professional skills which normally I charge up to £30 an hour for!

My lovely new house is chaotic! Boxes everywhere and I can't find anything and people keep trying to get things out and making more mess and I can't COPE!

Excuse my language but I am sooo bl*dy fcking pissed off that DS's school thinks that simply becaue of when he was born he is not capable of attending school full time til January. He started school this week but will go part time til January. So each afternoon I will have to keep him entertained til we have to make our 3rd trip to the school in one day to pick up his sister. He will be completely bored all afternoon as will I, will be missing out on making friends whilst the rest of the class stays on for the afternoon, missing out on learning every afternoon and for no good reason other than a random date picked by the school after which his birthday falls. I am sooooo peeed off about it. I might sound like a raving loony, but then that's not surprising since I am going stark raving mad being forced to stay at home all day because of the DC's bl**d7 school. There. Rant over.

I am a big fat disgusting loser and am sick of it.

That's all.

Well at least I can relieve some of your stress nomedoit. DS2 is autistic and has mild learning difficulties. He binge eats anything sweet, bags of sugar, sweetner tablets, anything that even looks like a sweet, cake mixes etc.

Its far less stressful to deter him with a lock than pull the last remaining strands of my lank and lifeless hair out everytime he gets hold of something.

Come on you let LET IT ALL OUT!!!!!

Who is waiting in for a delivery that you know is not coming? Whose DP behaved like a knobend this morning and left for work before you could think of a witty but devestating comment to send him on his way?
Whoe has DCs that think poo is the same as play doh?

Come on....

sapphire I bet you are not.

My tooth is fucked and I can't afford to go to the dentist.

The other moms in the street were horrified that I have not put DS's name down for a school yet. He is 2.5. Crap mother all over.

The other mums in my street were horrified I bought a pink buggy for DS4. It will make him gay apparently

All these stresses are valid. They piss us off. We are allowed to express them.

Do it.

Now I'm stressed because I have no idea how or when I need to be putting DD's name down for school. Or how nursery works.

And I'm a teacher.

My ds2 has a really shit driver and escort this year.
they are wankers and I get anxious every morning and every evening at pick up and drop off.

Sorry tethers but I did actually LOL at that

My eldest boy has just started college. Me and his dad were clueless!

Pag Transport can be such a stress. Sorry bout wanky staff . DS's bus has been on average 20mins late everyday this term. We dont have home pick up (fair enough) but whe have to wait next to a busy road with nowhere to sit and no shelter. I usually have baby and toddler with me as well as DS. And its COLD!!

Oh god I have something I desparately need to whinge about...

I have bitten my lip REALLY BADLY. Then I bit the swollen bit when I was eating. Twice.

AND I have a paper cut on the end of my tongue.

And I have a weird double ulcer thing on the side of my tongue.

My whole mouth is a disaster zone.

I'm stressed because I've Mumsnetted all day instead of working!

And SAF exactly if we're not allowed to be needy here then where the hell else are we going to go? One of the great joys of mumsnet is you need - you post - people help. And then you read a load of other threads that make you laugh till you cry too.

I have pregnancy insomnia and feel like vomiting with tiredness, am finishing work tomorrow and haven't actually done everything I am supposed to so will have to take some work with me, my usually lovely 3 year old DS has turned into some jumping, tantruming superhero devil child and the whole kitchen is on the floor as DH wants to re-decorate

WHY do I still get spots JUST as I start to get lines around my eyes?

The joint on my little finger is red, aching and swollen. Arthritis? At THIRTY?!?!?!

I realyl want the new HTC phone but it's £40 a month and I'm poor.

I'm poor.

I want some boots because it's winter but my lesg are fat so I'll have ANOTHER year of freezing cold toes, tramping about in the London gloom.

My sister wants to abandon her children and shack up with her lover on the other side of the world and I haven't got the guts to tell her she's being a maniac.

The zips on my skirts have all broken on the same week. No, I haven't put on weight - the skirts are hand-made and I never could sew the fuckers in.

The knob on the central heating thermostat is broken JUST in time for winter

WHY is my butternut squash plant only growing male flowers? WTF?! Weeks of nurturing and fertilizer and no squash to show for it.

I cannot bloody believe it that MY taxes are paying for the Pope, and he's charging £25 a ticket to go and hear him say the bloody mass.

I'm sure there's more..

Ah..., I feel better!

Ooh I'm stressing cos I need to take dd to rainbows and stay with her cos of her complex needs (we really need to sort out 1 to 1 carer to go with her but I foolishly thought that would be unnecessary now I'm on maternity leave) Do I take week old baby with me in case of needing a feed or do I take with me? Then what if I'm just bring him to whole time and not really doing any quality time with dd and due ends up eating the craft activity / fitting/ whatever.. Gawd I font want to leave the house really. Am sore and have dreadful miss hooley hair

I signed up to be class rep this year and am stressed about the Christmas party although I have someone to pair up with me I worry that she will not help me and it will be a total flop.

Will not volunteer again.

I also started a PT job and I feel like I have as usual taken on far too much and want to say WHHHO rewind I am not doing this.

My therapist said you must go out of your comfort zone but anxiety levels are rocketed.

Haha do I take baby or do I take baby. Er obv meant leave with dh as one option. Wail... I'm tired
