... to have made the noise I (apparently) did ..

[TwoAndTwoEqualsChaos]

... at DC2 not noticing he had wandered through the poo that potty-training DC3 had left on the floor and spread it EVERYWHERE, as I was cleaning up DC2, whilst DC4 (7 weeks) was screaming for a feed and DC1 was "gobbing on" incessantly to DH on the phone and giving me a headache?

what was the noise? We need to know.

and breathe!

We need a description of the noise. And perhaps also of the accompanying facial expression.....

The sort of primal scream you make as you see your evening's work multiply expidentially due to the complete thoughtlessness of a 4 year-old, as you are already a couple of washing loads behind, tea hasn't been washed up, dinner not made, DH working late, Baby demand EBF and everyone (meant to be) going away for the w/e tomorrow, as distorted over a phoneline to DH's workplace ......

I know exactly what the noise was. I emitted it the other week when DD pooed on the rug, walked through it onto the kitchen floor and then the dog ate it

No till everyone clean (BF on the step in the bathroom as the others are washing).

Oh THAT noise. YANBU at all. It's occasions like those that noise was invented for.

I emitted a similar one yesterday when I was stuck BFing DS as a torrent of poo escaped his nappy onto my only clean jeans, while in the background i could hear the sweet sounds of the cat vomiting in the nursery.

You have my sympathy

Happies, yep, you've got it!

Pmsl ...yanbu

Yes I'm familiar with that scream. Hahaha. I made the same sound when changing the bed sheets last week and I left the mattress to air for a bit, went up and saw DS scribbling all over it with one of Dd's felt tip markers. It comes from the pit of your stomach doesn't it?

I did it last night when I dropped a jug into my lovely Belfast sink.
But it wasn't the jug that broke, ohhhh no, it went right through the sink and came out unscathed.
The sink however is in pieces.
Primal screaming which caused ds to come running from his bed to ask if I had stubbed my toe!

Fakebook or the depths of one's soul!

Purple could you explain without expletives? Lovely he cared, though ...

AF glad to have entertained (does that count as looking for the silver lining?).

Yes that scream I made when I discovered DS had sprinkled crushed crisps all over the stairs ( 2 whole bags, hundreds of crisp bits covering every single step!). After hovering the whole flight of stairs and the landing, returning to the kitchen with the stupidly heavy Dyson in tow only to discover a trail of crisp bits and juice all over the floor.
YANBU!

I think I made the same noise when DH chirped from the top of the stairs "catch!" as he threw a soaking wet nappy to me at the bottom to catch

of course, I missed it

it hit the wall and exploded in a gazillion beads of stinking moisture

he just thought it was like wet cotton wool...he didn't understand about the bead thingies

we were still picking them out of the soft furnishings months later...

Littleprincess, the only reason I am not laughing is because it is an all too feasible scenario here!

AF like pineneedles after Christmas: no matter how assiduously one Hoovers, they keep appearing down the side of the settee, in the bookcase, ..?

Ah yes. That primal scream. I resorted to one of those the other day when DS1 (6) appeared at the top of the stairs clutching DS3 (a not slender 6 months) largely round the head . What DH was doing while 'supervising' them while I mumsnetted put away the washing, I do not know

If only life had a pause & rewind button

I have just come in to the living room to find a forte made out of the pile of bedding that was for my guests to use tonight... I think it is time a certain little monkey was in bed!

You'd make your million, Baroness!

Nation, knowing I was a bit stressed, my DC (also 6) offered to dry and get the others ready for bed. Mindboggling at how she intended to get solid lump DC3 out of the high-sided bath, as I was feeding. I suspect, with a similar action!

That noise can never be U. It is the death rattle of your sanity
I have just let one escape after coming to the living to see that DS had removed all plaids that are meant to protect to white sofa so that he could jump on it and make DH's cup of coffee spill over since my lovely DH cannot see why a cup has to be on a f*ing table. All this while DD was shredding an entire pack of cookies on the rug and DH was watching for the 100th time game of thrones.
As a result I went back in hiding in my office..

I made that noise when I discovered my then toddler ds polishing the screen of my week old LCD tv.

He used sandpaper.

Whereisegg I think the noise of the sandpaper would have made a worse noise than your scream .... :(

Lily oh, to have an office to escape to! (I am going to take your "death rattle" comment as my justification henceforth!).

I made that noise when I went to kitchen to discover that DD who has poor balance had climbed onto narrow kitchen units amd discovered huge chopping knives we thought were safely on top..she was standing there with one in each hand wobbling like a drunk Ninja
