I am fucking raging

I have an assignment for uni due. I am working towards a second degree which will get me a much higher paid job than my current role with a better life/work balance.

Our house is not big, its hard to get away from other noise iyswim.

Partner knows I needed peace today, we agreed (he offered) he would take dd and dsd out for the day to give me a few hours to type assigment up, tweak it etc.

He is still here and they are making a fucking racket. DSD doesn't want to go out so they have some fucking dance game on the kinect turned up LOUD and she is shrieking and racing around downstairs. She is 10, old eenough not to behave like that. DD has taken refuge in her room.

Partner said I'm being selfish because I asked him why he was encouraging this.
Apparently its their weekend as well and its not his problem if I want peace.

I think HE is being selfish, we had agreed a plan, he is now not sticking to that plan and I cannot concentrate at all because of the fucking noise.

Am so fucking angry. I support him when he wants to do something, i respect his right to have some peace if he wants/needs it.
Angry

I'm back! Grin

Things improved a bit. They didn't go out but after i exploded explained calmly why i was seething partner turned off the game, went to Tesco and got bits to keep the kids quiet.

He got them on our ipads with headphones and a film and has cooked spag bol for their tea.

DSD has stopped screaming like a banshee calmed down too.

I have managed to get the bulk of it done now, will spend an hour or so editing this evening.

Grannyjudy has scared me with her stepford tendencies but provided a fucking good laugh at the same time so thank you. Smile
Would like to point out that i don't swear at artner often or the kids so telling me off was a bit um futile really.

Can't remember who it was who said dsd just needed attention, heartily disagree, sorry. The issue is too much attention.
We have been together for over 8 yrs, we have spent lots of quality time together, I don't think one day or even a couple of hours of quiet time is too much to ask. DD an manage it just fine and they are the same age.
She is here every weekend and all school holidays so she does get tohave lots and lots of time with dad.

Partner hasn't apologised for his "FINE" comment which nearly got him killed but there is a bottle of white that has magically appeared in the fridge so i may shag forgive him later. Wink

um, what else, oh yes! Last minute thing.... yep, agree is not good but to be fair we had planned for this study day earlier in the week and I had all my prep done. Without making excuses I have had a mare this week but noted for future.

Thank you ladies for making me larf and calming me down. You are all triffic.

Thank God you came back and updated - I had visions of you peering out between bars --- err jail door bars - not ones serving Wine

Hopefully he realises what a prat he was, but I wouldn't hesitate to point it out again later! He agreed to do it and you can't just go back on that because DSD one of the girls doesn't fancy it - it's not up to her them.

It was a little bit 'last minute ish' but fgs you work full time, you have a child, you cram studying in when you can and you 'booked' this day to do it. It's not like you have done f'all for the last few weeks then woke up this morning in a flap!

Enjoy the shag wine Wink
