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.

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

We're off on holiday tomorrow. I'm even taking the kids out of school to do it. We're having a holiday to do something different. It's going to be fab

SAHMs who have nannies, au pairs, maids, cleaners, cooks etc an then complain about not having time to pick the kids up from school etc. We have one with a dh the same age as my dh. She is a SAHM, has an au pair and a cook and a helper/maid/dogsbody. Friday at pick-up she was complaining that her day was ruined because she had to come to pick her daughter up.

I'm 'unemployed' as my DH earns enough money so i can stay home and look after our DS.
I hate when the weekend ends because it means on Monday i have to single- handedly chase at 2 yo down the road whilst trying to walk the dog! At least at the weekend DH is here and I can have a nice dog walk without DS or we can all go out together.
Also, I do need a holiday - I haven't been on one for nearly 5 years.

Everyday is the same for me, Friday, Saturday, Sunday is the same as Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Generally have had no idea which day it is since being on mat leave. I long for that friday feeling.

Well this thread has gone the same way as all the others like it...we've got SAHM bashing, working mum bashing and childless women who dare not to work bashing. We've got accusations of bitterness and jealousy and the usual sob stories.

Very soon someone will be along to tell you all off for not blindly supporting women and think of the sisterhood.....

Oh, OP. If only you had more spare time in your terribly busy life...

Perhaps then you’d be able to actually spell properly.

I do hope your very important job doesn’t require any SPaG skills.

there are also lots of full time workers getting topped up with tax credits. No one is morally better than anyone else, on account of working/not working.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, but I couldn’t let someone make a blanket that SAHMs aren’t taking anything out of the system go unchallenged!

This place deserves its wanker reputation sometimes

Give me any demographic and I will be able to pick out the odd wanker. That's just the law of statistics. To use it as 'proof' that all people of this demographic are wankers makes one a wanker. The fact that you can pick them out so easily means they're not the norm. It's called 'the exception that proves the rule'.

Sahm here, husband works all week, I don't see him from Monday to Friday. My week is monotonous shite from the minute I open my eyes in the morning until I close them again at night.
I love the weekend, my husband is home, I get a break from the kids and we do things as a family. I'm sorry that annoys you so much
As for holidays, they're not just breaks from 'work'.

SAHMs, for the love of God you do not need to justify your private family arrangements just because OP knows someone who takes the piss a bit. You do what works best for your family, just like everyone else. If someone on here doesn't like it, seriously they can just go fucking swivel.

If being a SAHP was such money for old rope, you can guarantee more men would be doing it. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, all you prats with the flowery and oh-so-feminine names.

What a judgemental post, how do you know what they do during the week? May be they got animals to walk and clean, all the chores, shopping, cooking, paperwork, after school clubs all done during the week so precise time can be spent with the whole family over the weekend.

Who like walking their kids to school when it's pouring down rain? I hate making packed lunches and wash all these dirty lunch boxes every day.

Me and DH work FT with 3 kids, there are a lot more going on in this world than getting annoyed by something like this honestly!

You were right in your opening comment-it's none of your business! they don't have newborns or a job. You sound very jealous and bitter. Jealous of people who don't have newborns, jealous of people having holidays, more money, more spare time, etc etc. Why not just concentrate on your own life, you might feel happier? The grass isn't always greener on the other side you know.

If there's one thing I've learned over the years it's that people who are happy and content in their own lives do not care enough to get annoyed about what other people are up to.
Get a hobby op.

@PoorYorick

What the actual fuck??

Yorick is quite right

What an ugly thread. @PoorYorick expressed it harshly, but she is right.

Yes and I like Yorick's last paragraph.

(n.b. my WTAF was aimed at PoorYorik's 19:50 post)

Op i'm a sahm and yes I moan when the weekend is over because I love the weekends and spending proper time with my dh as well as my ds.You have no right to judge anyone and you sound jealous af to be honest.
If you don't like your job or life then do something about it because only you can!
I'll be thinking about you when I drop my ds at nursery tomorrow then pop into town to run some errands then maybe have a nap when I return 😁🖕

I’m a sahm (aka unemployed as dh earns enough blah blah) with two very young dcs.

I look forward to the weekend as I like dh’s company and family time. We have a lot of family time but without dh in the week, as neither dc is at school yet, so it makes a pleasant change for all of us to have him around at the weekends.

Tbf though, I probably wouldn’t say “oh God I’m so depress the weekend’s over”, or whatever. I like my week days quite a lot too, (some more than others, obviously). I do just enjoy having the adult company at the weekend. We don’t have any friends or family nearby and anyway, most of them work full time, so I don’t see any adults who I genuinely love seeing in the week. It’s all passing acquaintances at playgroups etc, (a bit like how I felt about my colleagues when I was still working).

felicitythemangyfox Thanks for clarification... just dipping in and out of the bun fight and was quite confused!

They're probably just making conversation. Like you say 'I'm so glad it's Friday' and they say 'me too' because they don't want to be a smug bastard and say 'every day's a Saturday for me!'

And I hope you don't bitch about the people who look after your kids before/after school/during holidays...

Sorry felicity, I tried to be plain.

I'm not suggesting that everyone with a feminine username isn't all they seem. I'm suggesting that the recent influx of GFs who seem to be intent on sowing discord within a predominantly female community, whilst sporting rather excessively flowery and feminine names, might just have a certain agenda (and certain other bits too).

And I'm definitely saying that SAHMs don't owe OP or indeed anyone else any sort of explanation. We all do what works best for our situation and if staying home was such a piece of piss, more men would do it. The problem arises only when someone in the family isn't happy with the arrangement, but that's a different matter. If someone outside of the family who doesn't know diddly squat about you or your home isn't happy with it, well, I've got a Sylvanian Families violin that I can play just for them.
