Fuming, raging, heartbroken....

[GinIsIn]

It seems like this is used about everything now.

AIBU to wonder why nobody is ever just a bit miffed or slightly put out anymore?

And what happens to the fuming, heartbroken ragers who get so angry about an innocuous comment from a teacher or a sideways glance on public transport when something really bad happens? Do their heads actually explode?!

I'm quite ordinary looking. I look like a slightly faded, tired 41 year old woman with frizzy hair. But everyone is beautiful apparently, as well as everyone being clever in their own way. They're not. Some people are stupid or plain.

BTW I'm fumming that SukiPutTheEarlGreyOn's username got past the mods. Literally heartbroken :( :( :(

And WTF stole Pipistrelle so I have to be Pipistrelle40.

Lies on floor, screams, drums heels, full blown tantrum. Puce with rage.

Oh god I remember a post on here once replying to a thread about kids insisting on being in the bathroom whilst their mother uses the bog. Lots of people said they wouldn't allow it and the kids would be taught "no" (god forbid!) and then this one ridiculous woman posted something along the lines of
"I'd rather have an audience whilst using the toilet than a heartbroken two year old who isn't allowed in the bathroom with mummy"

Heartbroken 2 year old??!! Really??! No wonder British society is going soft as shit if kids are being brought up to be "heart broken" at having a minute or so away from mummy.

Ridiculous.

A couple of Christmases DH and I watched open mouthed as SIL frantically dashed around the house after the DNs had gone to bed transforming it into a wonder of chocolate filled elf dust complete with glitter all over the lawn to show where he had parked his sleigh. This was after she'd ordered us all to join DNs round the computer to track Santa's progress across the world on the website and produce terrifically excited noises. DH made a little quip about eating some of the chocolates (he has a notoriously sweet tooth) which had been trailed on the floor towards the presents. There was an icy silence and she told him that HE could deal with the "devastated" four year old which would surely result. "Devastated"???

Chill the fuck out and have a sherry and a mince pie, I advised. Didn't go down well.

When did people get so highly strung?

I just can't believe that Mumsnet allows the vile transphobia on this awful thread.

I quite like being 'gobsmacked' on occasion.

As well as being gorgeous, everyone has kids that are gifted she talented except me

That makes me fume, rage and snort with derision. All at once

And the kids are always skinny as a rake, talented, sporty, hard-working and good-looking.

Rarely does someone admit that their kids might NOT be perfect!

I always want fuming to be spelt "fumming" on mumsnet after someone once spelled it like that on a thread where they were fumming about something or other.
If mumsnet is a reflection of real life i feel very sorry for teachers often trying to keep 1.5 K kids safe and learning with all the fumming and berating and demanding that goes on by parents.

People saying they're massively confused when they're actually just a tad baffled.

Also, I'm a bit miffed that I've never fummed in any way, shape or form.

Should I be incandescent with rage or should I just have a garibaldi and a naice cup of decaf?

Has anyone mentioned "dancing with temper" yet?

I like that one - you don't see it on here really but I use it in RL

Ah we have degrading and humiliation now for children on a walkadile

Maybe we should use Scottish words like stushie and stramash

You have a point paxillin. I think age has a lot to do with it...
I used to think I could never get over stuff without a good shout and a confrontation coupled with a dose of huffing and puffing. But I find I can, and I keep my gunpowder dry for a better occasion.

I think for many posters, (or, maybe just me), our personal experience has been the opposite. We've avoided confrontation our whole lives and now are just on the verge of exploding, (figuratively, of course) whenever someone commits a diagram-worthy parking crime/puts dirty plates on our table at a cafe/takes over the fridge at work.

There is a thread by a woman who has 'howled her eyes out' because the birthday card her DH gave her didn't have any pre-printed words in it .

He had only written 'Love you loads and loads, with loads of kisses all about' in it himself, the bastard.

I am raging and shaking about all the shitty men there are in this world. I hope she LTB.

I think I noticed that thread Barbara but I didn't open it in case it was triggering.

I've plucked up the courage to look at it now. I think she might be taking the piss

Yes Barbara

I'm silently chuckling at this one, and I'm not sure I should be at some of the comments but what the hey I'm too old to care! Overuse reduces impact when it's needed, that's my only comment on the subject, and I think the media is certainly to blame! Loving this thread

I've noticed you can't be "sad" any more either. You have to be "beyond sad".

Only loving? Not adoring, worshipping or besotted?

There was a post on here about homework and someone said their 6yo dd is 'crushed' if she gets a word wrong! I thought how awful that she feels so desolate and broken over something that really doesn't matter that much

I guess it's like how everyone is a narcissist nowadays. Preferably a "textbook narcissist". See: all ex-partners, difficult mothers and MILs.

Everyone seems to suffer from emetophobia. Or misophonia. Obviously, some people really do suffer from phobias. But don't most people on the planet find clearing up vomit rather unpleasant and dislike it when someone chews loudly?
