Am I the only one who hates when unemployed people moan that weekend is over

[Sunflowerhappy]

It's just annoying and frustrating.
I work full time and my weekend goes in a flash. Monday mornings are a mad dash between getting ready and doing breakfast club drop off. Finish work and then another mad dash to the school then dds clubs, cooking and tidy up then the bedtime routine it's hard...
Then you get the unemployed who sit and moan about the weekend been over, moaning about the school run or moaning they have so much to do and I think we'll at least you can drop kids off at school at normal time, put on your slouchies to drop off so takes minimal effort, come back and get a cuppa before you do housework etc.

If I get a day off during the week I do the above and it's bloody bliss.
I know I should just ignore and let them get on with it and I know it's none of my business but it's still frustrating all the same.

I agree but I suspect no one else on here will

Agree!

What unemployed are you talking about? Your friends? (presumably not)

Also when unemployed people say they "need a holiday" a holiday from what?

They may miss the company of their family and have to go back to long, lonely, depressing days alone. As they say you need to walk a mile in their shoes ....

Me three. I’m in the minority in office wear in the playground in the morning while the casual wearing pta give me evils for not signing up to help with the cake sale on Friday at 3pm

But you have a job and money, I've never been unemployed but know people who have and it's soul destroying.

I agree! It gets my goat when they say "Thank god it's Friday!" Yeah, cos you've had such a hard week 🙄

Well....you hate the school run, they hate the school run. Maybe they love seeing their kids at the weekend and hate when it’s over and they’re back to school. The weekend isn’t just about a break from employment.

I don't get it either. I'm unemployed at the moment and don't like weekends at all.

Do you mean unemployed or SAH?

Unemployed people may be on job seekers which means you need to spend hours a day filling out applications and applying for jobs. 36 hours a week the job center wants. I did it and it was soul destroying plus walking into every pub and shop and handing out cvs.

I agree but get the feeling this thread will turn into a scrap.

Sounds like you are jealous
Which is a bit sad really

Not unemployed but on mat leave here. Hate the weekend being over as eldest DD back at school and hubby back at work. Just me and DS left to potter about. All my friends and family are at work. No lazy mornings as have to be up and dressed for school run.

When I was a student I worked weekends so I hated them the most. I do find the concept of ‘living for the weekend’ kinda lame tbh.

i hate the thank god its friday brigade some of us have to work weekends so they are just reminding me that while they are enjoying thier weekends of leisure im blooming working

Also when unemployed people say they "need a holiday" a holiday from what?

The monotony of unemployment. That shit makes you seriously depressed. Or it did for me anyway. Now that I’m working again I love Monday’s. Ok, I don’t love 6am on Monday’s. They suck. But I really do appreciate the routine of working and having people to talk to and a sense of actually acheiveing something. When you’re unemployed You are kind of lost so maybe they’re moaning about another week of lonliness, boredom, job rejection, dole centres, having no money to break up the boredom of staring at the same 4 walls.

Well, being unemployed is boring in the week if everyone else you know is at work. Nobody to talk to or spend time with.

I work and can't say it bothers me.

Do you mean stay at home parents, and are just trying to be goady?

I don't work, and am at home full time with three children. I love the weekends as DH is around and we do stuff together. I always feel a wee pang when he goes back to work on a Monday.

Not that im fully disagreeing as i know a few lazy scroungers who dont look for work and complain about how hard life is whilst refusing to even apply for a job but thats not the same for all unemployed people. Unemployment is bloody hard and areas of mass unemployment face higher levels of alcoholism so thats a factor that should tell you how hard unemployment can be.

Lemons1571 don't be too quick to judge those dressed casually, some of us work full time and are doing the school drop off after a night shift ☺
I too hate the bake sale PTA mafia though, because they assume the likes of me don't work much or at all

I'm 'unemployed' as my DH earns enough that I'm fortunate not to HAVE to work.

I joke that a Saturday morning is much the same as any day but the truth is I relish knowing that H is here. The burden of bickering kids and wall painting toddler is halved.

So yeah, at the end of the weekend I do feel a bit sad because I know I'm then back to tackling 99% on my own. And in the same breath I feel sad for H that he misses out on that too.

It's a 6 and 2 3's situation. Neither harder or easier.

I really hate it when part-time parents who pay nursery staff to raise their kids for them moan about how tiring it is to have kids
