To wonder why the mums on here seem so angry?

[LovelyBath]

Just that, really.

Laura, seems Cbeebies has embedded itself in my soul.

I'm not angry

I can't find the thread about mums kicking their kids toys around, sorry. I did look though. If you'd like to share other things you do when angry here, please do so.

Or what makes you angry. Might be therapeutic.

I scribbled over my ds maths homework as I was angry with a fraction He thought it was hysterically funny.

I'm pretty sure you can be both a 'normal mum' and a troublemaker.

at Honeydragon.

I will start (bit boring I'm afraid)

Clearing out the lunch boxes after school

Cleaning out the recycling bin as too stingy to buy proper liners for the food one and use newspaper which turns to gunk and makes the recycling man angry so have to nip out and avoid him.

Cleaning and washing the sheets etc as everyone has winter bugs

Navigating hyper anxious and enthusiastic parents on the school run

The endless repetative monotony of it all

The feeling that I should be enjoying it all.

The knackeredness of it all...

I don't think mums are angry, I think it's people (anyone) who is an avid user of Internet forums - they use them as a tool to vent their frustrations in real life. Almost like escapism. How's that for a generalisation.

leelu66 - it does sound like something you could order off amazon - standard issue mum - mums clothes, hair torture toys options standard.

I image the trouble maker one would be the deluxe version.

I think I might be tending to veer towards troublemaker mum as really bored mum (could be bored with troublemaking tendencies perhaps)

I think they are angry. Over 2000 years of being on the losing team economically and socially can do that to a girl. Sometimes I wonder why we are not more angry.

I'm not a normal mum

I've never felt as if I should enjoy cleaning up bodily emissions.

Clearly a bad mum with a faulty obligation gene.

I need to go do more boring washing before the school run. I don't post much on here but I wanted to say I do think it's fun even if there is a lot of anger. Maybe it's healthy to have somewhere to vent?

Thanks for posting and not getting too angry with me

Having said that, maybe the answer to school playground politics is to bundle some of the pukey bedding into a clear plastic bag and carry it without you. I can guarantee that only the hardened few will come and bother you.

Cleaning out the recycling bin as too stingy to buy proper liners for the food one and use newspaper which turns to gunk and makes the recycling man angry so have to nip out and avoid him.

You don't need to buy proper liners. You can use plastic carrier bags. The recycling people (PC hat on) will still take it away here.

lostinthewash - the trouble maker one would be the deluxe version.

It is astonishing how many people claim to be FUMING and FURIOUS at something which, on further investigation, turns out to be utterly trivial.

I have I'm a normal mum, not a troublemaker going through my head on repeat, and I don't know what tune it is.

I am now bloody pissed off!

I'm not an angry mum. At the moment. If you'd caught me the other day I'd have been described as livid and incandescent with rage. Getting glanced/ frowned at dismissively before being left standing out in the freezing rain by the patio doors as your ds continues doing what he was before you turned up and refuses to tell his cm you're here to collect him will do that to a person. Admittedly I had PMT and wasn't ready for said cm to then tell me that ds 'never wants to come home' like that's a good thing, but still. Ungrateful little sod. Having given every bit of my soul to him for 6 years i think I'm entitled to be a bit miffed that he looked at me like an inconvenient blister, turning up just to piss him off.

I actually didn't come on here to vent on that occasion. We'll, until now. Now I'm angry again.

I agree. and people get home, and at least an hour after somebody jumped ahed of them in teh q, they're still angry enough to post about it.

We have to use the expensive biodegradable bags or they won't take it.

Little

When I was a cm I would never say that! Tactless bitch.

I couldn't wait for the little fuckers to go.

The mums who stood in my hall and did the 'let's go poppet' while said poppet refused till I finally wrestled poppet to the ground and bodily put his shoes on for him.

Piss off I am paid until 6 pm!!

Gosh getting angry now again

You don't need to link to articles on Ow Frustration Tolerance. Its bloody common sense that's how people work innit

You also need to realize that what may appear to be someone's 'anger' at something that 'you' deem unimportant or 'trivial' may actually be a large issue in their own life, or was a precursor to a disaster.

So that poster who gets angry at an OP whose DH won't take out the garbage may be reacting to her own DH who does bloody fuck all at home. Or the poster who gets angry at an OP who won't LTB when her DH called her a 'bitch' during an argument may be remembering that that being called a bitch was the start of a long road of abuse before she herself got out.

You just never know what has gone on in another person's life. That's why I try to cut angry posters a bit of slack.
