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?

My ds has just started his new special school. I hate meeting new people, and I have to go to the school and meet the teacher, speech therapist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist.

New people keep on wanting meetings in my home and I want people to leave me alone!

At home I have the builders in which I hate. I keep hiding upstairs to avoid them!

I have got to arrange my dd birthday party which is on Saturday. (You know, party bags, birthday tea). She has invited 18 girls!! I could do without it really. I'm sure it will be fine really.

Loads of paperwork, financial planning. Ugh.

I am always starting needy posts. I know they are needy when I start them, thats the point. I have to say that people have always been wonderful and totally lovely. I think without exception.

I think in my case people can relate. They imagine how they would feel in my place IYSWIM.

I suppose we cant all do that for all situations. I am guilty myself of seeing some threads and thinking [to myself]'come off it love, have a cup of tea and pull yourself together' . But thats pretty rare even for a cynic like me

Now I wouldnt start a whole thread on this but it needs to be said:

DC5 had his injections on Monday morning. That afternoon I changed him into a new pair of navy blue joggers (well not him, I changed his clothes). I now have a baby with great big dirty blue fluff marks all over his enormous chubby legs. I cant get them off, the fluff mixed with the glue from the micropore tape and it appears to be permanent.

There's more. This is quite serious. I have realised that I married DH 10 years ago for all the wrong reasons. We are totally incompatible. Ideally we should split up. But we have 2 DC's, a home, a joint life. I'm not miserable, just not happy. I think about it every day and just don't know what to do for the best. I love him, but am not 'in love' with him, don't think I ever was. How about that for stressing you out every second of every day?

ABitTipsy - been there done that etc. I feel for you I really do. I know how soul destroying it can be.

Surely that deserves its own thread Abit? You could do with some help and support

You are of course more than welcome to stress on this thread too.

Herjazz - I lolled at 'miss hooley hair'.

I've got my period. Pre-menstrual tension seems to have become During-menstrual tension for some reason. I wanted to be pregnant and am trying not to obsess since an ep in May.

Got a copy of the HV's referral letter for DS to the paediatrician. Basically being assessed for ASD thought they never say that. He's so utterly, utterly gorgeous I just wish there was no need for it all.

My career is fast disappearing down the drain (self-employed). The tories have stopped all our contracts. Bastards.

Sorry, the coalition aka Tories

Swallowedafly- aye that would make sense dh going. Cept he won't. Cos it's rainbows and it's odd being a staying dad there. He felt awkward staying with her before

Ah will drive the tiny little walk journey and hope baby stays sleeping in his carseat ( ill put baby in the corner and hope he doesn't get coughed over and prodded too much)

If it's a disaster then will sort someone else out for next week. But crossed fingers this will be NICE for me and dd now. Who's been really pushed out this last week.

Can empathise with you SAF with clingy toddler pre school thing. That's nearly 3 yo ds at mo. Also particularly rabid cos of new baby

Hehee and I'm going to put a scarf over miss hooley hair. Voilà :)

hey, veyron and MrsDeV, thanks for the support. Sorry to hear you've been here too veyron.

Maybe I will start my own thread at some point but not really in the mood right now. Am just feeling angry and ranty and not sure why, it's not PMT. I think I am just turning into a GOW (grumpy old woman!) and it makes me feel quite happy! I don't care anymore!

im stressed because my husband is self employed and starts working at 7am and finishes for bed pretty much 7 days a week. I am sick of people saying that it must make it easier with him at home it doesnt because he never finishes work so I am left on my own with 4 children under 6 all the time.
Also I hate walking to the school its about 25 mins each way which might not be miles on end but it feels like it in the rain, and on wednesdays I have to go morning, lunchtime and afternoon.

Oh and my eye is swollen up with an infection so badly i cant even open it

Ill stop now !

I love you all.

Great thread.

Baby son slept all night last night for the first time. Toddler girl did not because she wanted a cuddle. Several times. Did I feel like giving her one? No.

To be pissed off that my original message disappeared.

to be stressed by people I though were my friends are in fact fuckwits of the highest oreder. If I had known I wasn't allowed to have other friends other than you lot I would have smiled politely and kept walking. Your pathetic playground antics are draining; yes I went out with one or 2 of our friends without 5 of you and 3 of you have a problem with this, get over it. You can not tell me who I can and cannot be friends with, yes I am going out with other people and some of our friends for christmas and you weren't invited but you DON'T BLOODY WELL KNOW THE OTHER PEOPLE so fuck off.
For 40 year old women to say they wont talk to someone if they are with me is quite frankly one of the saddest things I have ever heard.

I am stressed because DS has just started school and noone talks to me at the gate, also I appear to be the only mum with no other children, feeling guilty and worried he won't make friends as an only child, and also feeling bad because I am TTC but failing so far.

Since DS started school me and DH have changed our work patterns - but his means he starts at 0930 and finishes at 1800, mine means I start at 0600 and finish at 1445.

Got hard earned bonus (small but very much appreciated) and most of it has gone on tax and paying off overdraft.

Feeling bleurgh.

On the plus side, True Blood Season 2 is starting on C4 tonight, I have seen it already but another look won't hurt.

Phew, feel a bit better now.

I'm stressed because someone drove into our car during the night and have not owned up. Now I'm going to have to sort it and pay out.

Glad its helping

Before I encur (is that the word) any wrath this thread was inspired by another one (a thread about a thread about a thread if you will) but its not meant in a hostile way.

With that clarified please continue with your whinges about non important (to others) and clearly very important troubles and tribulations.

My very annoying 11 yr old neighbour has just knocked at 6 for my 6yr old and 4 yr old to go and play in the street where I would have to stand looking like a numpty.

I have said NO , I am now the evil mother .

She knows they eat at 6 as well which is even more annoying .

And why the buggery does she want to play with them anyway ?

I am totally stressed out as my MIL and FIL are over from their home in France at the moment and they believe me to be such a horrid DIL that they are disowning my DH and DS and going to a solicitor about me!!!!

I'm stressed because my nasal lining is so swollen I can't breath unless I open my mouth, my teeth hurt and I feel rubbish
