Can we have an unreasonable rants thread?

[Hassled]

I made the perfect chocolate cake this afternoon. I'm rubbish at icing but this one was lovely. Raspberry jam in the middle, chocolate ganache and raspberries on top. Think of the perfect chocolate cake and this was it. DS2 dropped it on the kitchen floor - somehow both flipped it upside down and smashed the plate, so it looked like a mound of actual shit with embedded crockery on a not very clean floor. And yes he's Dyspraxic and yes accidents happen and yes he was sorry etc etc but FFS that was one amazing cake, untouched, and why the fuck do I ever bother? I am SEETHING.

Anyone else want to rant in an unreasonable manner?

I know the feeling...
I hope your proceedure goes well.. Not sure I want to encourage you back to work if people don't even bother sending you a card.
Get well soon..

The sound of my ndn's voice makes me cringe. It shouldn't. It's a normal voice. But it just makes me

Thank you professor I appreciate that in my job we care for people but sadly not for each other.

DH is sick again. he'd been off his antidepressants for 6 months, everything was looking rosy when he had a car crash and back to square 1. 3 months later things are a bit better and I have a miscarriage.

Now he's got a tummy bug. Bah just tired of having to parent in shifts cos one of us is always tired or ill.

And I feel like I missed out on summer this year.

...ah that feels better, needed that!...

Sorry about your miscarriage Toddlerslave

I have had a miracle baby.
You know the sort. Waited 10 years for him, 7 mcs, now he is here and he is 3.

Ungrateful I know, BUT...
I can't get any fucking bastard twatting THING done because he is a bolter. Legs off from me at every opportunity, cant go shopping.
Can't do ironing because he gets himself under the ironing board, hangs onto the wire and will not leave me be.
Can't pack the cases for holiday tomorrow because he pulls everything out....."what's this mummy?", can't go shopping for holiday stuff cos of the running and tantrums.

But dear God those gorgeous eyes and little fat cheeks and little arms around my neck are just DEVINE, so everything will be done at bedtime tonight.

My DP started trying to pick a fight this morning just before he was due to go out and once he'said succeeded, buggered off merrily. Leaving me to feel rubbish before work. I don't know why he couldn't have just gone out rather than causing an issue but there we go!

*he'd not he'said!

Jimijack I have a toddler too. Your last paragraph has me welling up (pregnant so blaming the hormones). They're amazing little divils aren't they?! 😍

DH fixed the kitchen tap which was lovely but....he put everything back in the cupboard under the sink wrong.

Laundry stuff goes on the left next to the washing machine. Not right at the back where the bleach is. I have a system. He needs to respect the system.

Awww Sassy, just delish

OP, your rant reminded me of one dinner time when I was a teenager. My mum had made pizzas. Properly homemade ones and she'd put the toppings we each liked on our pizzas etc.

She asked me to get one out of the oven and I dropped it straight onto the floor. I don't think I'm dyspraxic but it does run in my family, I'm incredibly clumsy and almost certainly autistic so it is a possibility.

Anyway, she shouted at me and I felt just awful so started crying in front of my parents and siblings for the first time in years.

Of course, my mum knew it was an accident and had only shouted out of frustration so seeing me crying set her off and the two of us ended up sobbing together!

I have been extra careful handling homemade pizzas ever since.

My unreasonable rants are DS1 won't stop making noise...EVER. Not in a normal noisy child way but he literally makes noise (humming, banging, repeating phrases over and over, kicking at things so they thump, scratching the sofa etc.) constantly.

He can't help it. It's part of his autism and he's only four...but it drives me insane (especially since I'm massively noise sensitive).

Second rant is that DS2 will not answer questions when he's upset. He's also probably autistic and a bit behind speech wise so I often don't understand what he's trying to say. But rather than answer 'yes' or 'no' to my inquiries so I can figure out what he's saying, he just repeats the same phrase I can't understand again and again whilst becoming more and more upset.

DS2: Beh-it.

Me: You want a biscuit?

DS2: Beh-it.

Me: Umm...would you like a bread stick?

DS2: Beh-it.

Me: Is that a 'yes'?

DS2: BEH-IT.

Me: Can you show me?

DS2: BEH-IT!

Me: Is it something to eat?

DS2: BEH-ITT!!!!!!

ARGH!

DS not wanting to nap, sent him back to bed twice, it's been about 1,5h now and I've given up.
But this is my only alone time and i was so happy that i got both DC napping at the same time - "NapSync" has been amazing. But I'm afraid it could be over now... DS probably getting too old for a nap (although you are never too old for a nap)

I feel so unreasonably pissed off that I can't watch crap tv and have tea and biscuits in peace...
But he is so cute and WARM (it's freezing here in Scotland) sitting next to me watching a cartoon...

DS knocked a whole cup of water over from the bedside table this morning. He was told not to kick his legs. It was an accident but a Sunday morning is my only lie in and it was disturbed. So I shouted. I was being unreasonable and had to apologies to him!

Boysnme I got two of those Lack shelves from IKEA, the little ones that are only a fiver each. And installed them a foot or two above our bedside tables, sort of like a second bedside surface but higher up. I put stuff like glasses of water, anything breakable there as its just slightly harder to reach or bump into accidentally. I recommend it!

I don't think a single one of these rants has been unreasonable (except possibly mine, about the cake). But if we'd each individually posted an AIBU, we'd probably have been told we were. There's definitely safety in numbers :o.
