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.

Sahm of school children can't complain about anything clearly.
They get slated for loving weekends.
Yet if they say they are glad it's term time they are lazy as fuck.
Howdy nasty thread.

I'm a SAHM, I moan about Mondays and rainy, shitty school runs - but I have two preschool children. Is that acceptable, or...?

Honestly get your head out of your arse and stop trying to win the 'more entitled to a whinge' olympics.

I’m unemployed. The reason why I dread Mondays is because my partner has to go back to work.

Do you have ANY idea what some parents go through? I have two disabled children which means by Monday I’m doing it alone.

At the weekend I have another pair of much needed hands.

Check yourself and your prejudice. You have NO idea what other parents go through.

Nasty piece of work you are.

I am so glad I get to moan about Mondays.

Being unemployed is awful.

Don’t be so horrible.

This post has made me realise I don't actually know any unemployed people. Not sure if that means anything or not.

I think this is unkind, not all unemployed people have it easy and are sat around in their pyjamas. They've still got to get up early, get their kids fed and ready, do the school run, put a wash on, hang out the washing to dry or put in the tumble drier, iron the clothes, wash up, hoover, tidy up the whole house, pick their kids up, make dinner, take kids to after school activities etc. It's not fair to make out like they're just sat around on their arses. You're not better than them because you have a job.

And guess what? I'm gutted it's a Monday tomorrow and i'm a SAHM!!

Erm it's not just a break from employment though is it !

I work different shifts and do some weekends . I'm off work tommorow but I still feel a bit sad the weekend went by so quickly . Dc back at school , dp back away for the week for work .
Not really hard to see why people might be sad the weekend is over even if they don't work mon -fri is it ?

Awwww you poor little poppet...
You can swap with me if you want. I'm a Sahm with a chronic illness that's unlikely to ever get any better. I've got to go to yet another school meeting in the morning for my ASD son. I'm constantly living between stress and even greater stress (along with pain, fatigue etc).

I moan quite a lot because I'm utterly fucked off with the lack of support and would sell my kidneys to be able to work full time again.

So have my life if you wish but no complaining when you realise it's not a picnic.

OMG. YES.

I have one person on my Facebook who does this every weekend, there's no kids either so no school runs etc.

Sunflowerhappy - They will, I am sure, be glad when Monday comes around so can watch more Jeremy Kyle.

Take your judgy pants and shove them up your arse!

Who the hell are you to lump every SAHP in the same pool? I notice now posters claws are out you’re changing the dynamics every time you post a new comment.

My DH usually does 60+ hours a week so I don’t have to work because he considers looking after our 17 (autistic), 9 & 7 year old a full time bloody job! I’m forever greatful for Friday because he’s home to help and he’s even lovely enough to let me have a lie in on one of those two days he’s home even though I’ve begged him to get the rest he deserves.

While you’re entitled to your own opinion, I’m also entitled to think you’re a jealous, judgemental tithead 😉 hope you’ve had a great weekend and are looking forward to Monday!

I saw all the doom and gloom Sunday posts on Facebook

My advice OP - leave Facebook. It is not an accurate prtrayal of what other people’s lives are like, and is clearly not having a positive effect on you.

When I was a sahm I enjoyed the weekend because dh could spend time with me and the children as a family and now that I work I enjoy the weekends for the same reason. Staying at home with 2 young children (1 with a disability) was much harder work than the job I do now so I was also grateful for a bit of support/a break at weekends. If only I was pottering about making brews and doing light housework at my leisure 😂
Yabu to think that people who aren’t in paid employment have no right to enjoy weekends!

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands OP, what with all this time to talk with the great unwashed and pissing around reading pointless crap on FB. Too much time comparing yourself to the Joneses etc.

You might want to think about gettin a job. Or perhaps a hobby. I believe macrame is having a comeback.

I'm a SAHM and studying and although I don't say it to anyone, I think it and you can hate it all you like if being bitter is your thing. The school run does my head in and it's nice to have help from my husband and spend time as a family on a weekend. Mind you, I mostly stay in and do assignments and revise.

I'm unemployed so don't have the stress of work but I have 3 kids ages 5,3 and 2 and quite honestly am mentally bored out of my fucking tree, but thanks to the government if I went back to work full time right now we'd be no better off. So I'd rather spend my time with my kids.

I'm not working at the moment and I look forward to the weekend so that I don't have to do the school run and we can lounge about doing what we please. Sorry that it offends you op.

@Fabpinky

🙄 try to not be so ridiculous next time you reply on a thread, everyone is entitled to a holiday regardless of being employed or unemployed.

Well I've been a full time working mum, a part time working mum, a work from home mum and I'm currently a SAHM. I've always been sad that the weekend is over. I like 2 solid days of being a foursome. Monday means the start of school runs, lunch boxes, swimming lessons, dance classes, rainbows, football, rhyme, rattle and roll, running clubs and a load of other twattery that we try to get out of the way M-F so we can ENJOY THE WEEKEND. I'm allowed to not want it to end. And I'm not saying my life is hard - it isn't - but everyone has something that keeps them going and for a lot of parents that's probably spending some quality time with their children.

No I don’t

It can be very depressing being unemployed and for some difficult to find a suitable job especially if they have health issues or/and are caring for others and have no support

OP, I’m about to moan about something but I don’t currently have active employment. Is that alright, can I just run it past you?

Oh. OP. Don't be a dick

That horse has already bolted.

I am very much looking forward to going back to work, but as a lone parent of a baby I hate Monday's as my mum/family will all be going to school or work so can be very lonely

When you say 'unemployed' do you mean everyone who doesn't have a job? Because I don't have one, don't need one as hubs earns well and hate the weekend ending as it means less time with him and our son.

What's wrong with that? It would be weird if I was like 'Yaaaaaassssss! Come on Monday so I can do loads of cleaning in an empty house!!'
