AIBU to be so bloody proud today

[Yourallmyfavourite1]

I have had what can only be described as the worst possible year I've ever had.
I lost my beloved nan, my dad nearly died in hospital after surgery for cancer.
Me and DH lost our house and are homeless with 5 of our 8 children.
But.. today I passed my first year exams. Never ever did I think it would happen. This is for a professional qualification that will change our lives.
For the past year I have worked so bloody hard, getting up at 3am to do coursework then go to work full time plus spend a little time with the kids. Today it is all worth it.
Just wanted to share

Congratulations 💐🍷

There always has to be one (or two) doesn’t there. You don’t need need justify yourself, or your children, to anyone. Twattish comments are just that and can be ignored. Pointless, nasty, bitchy comments. Urgh.

I hope the housing situation improves for you soon.

Well done.

Amazing OP. You have had a nightmare year and come out the other side victorious. Makes me embarrassed moaning about having too much to do sometimes.

I hope you get all your heart desires for you and your family

Well done you, please share some of your motivation. X

well done. Damn right you should be proud. Amazing achievement and even more amazing with the year you've had.

YADNBU

Well done, OP. You have every right to be bloody proud of yourself

Very well done, OP - you should be popping buttons with pride! What an amazing example you are. To your kids and to us all.

Here's to the next year, and to the future

Well done! Is DH supporting you as much as he can with housework, cooking and chores?

Huge congratulations OP; what an achievement especially after the year you've had! hopefully things will improve for you all going forward

Like you, I spent some years working hard to get a professional qualification. It was hard, but you have been working harder. I know how it feels, but you are shining with success. Well done, keep it up!

Yay!

VoteHillary Wouldn't OP's DH be doing his own chores? I'm baffled as to why he would only be "helping" OP with "her" chores? Is that the same as him "helping her" by "babysitting" his own children?

Are you my nan??

Well done you. Many congratulations. Your children must be very proud of you. Best of luck for the future.

I think a couple of you have misread my tone. I was trying to be polite but instead I will just say what I wanted to say.

I will also report the “fuck off” comment.

OP, you are doing brilliantly and sacrificing tons, for example sleep. Is your DH doing more than his fair share to reflect this? Is he supporting you like he should be doing? I hope he isn’t being a cocklodger but is instead matching the effort you’re putting in to you studies with supporting you with the housework, chores and cleaning etc so that it is not falling on to you.

FYI previous posters, am a fully paid up radical feminist who thinks Wifework should be essential reading for all, so you have definitely misread my tone!

@LockedOutOfMN read it again. I did not say her DH was “helping” her with “her” chores. I don’t know where you have got those quotations from but it certainly wasn’t my post! I am hoping that OP’s DH is doing more than 50% of the chores in order to reflect the fact that OP is going above and beyond in order to improve the family’s position. That’s what I was asking in my post. Read it again.

That explains it. So radical you've gone full circle!

Well done Op.
Your resilience is amazing

Well done OP. You must be so proud.

But blimey why are posters attacking other posters on this thread . Stirring up ill feeling on a feel good thread. Uncalled for.

you're an inspiration, well done you

An absolutely massive well done. Huge achievement based on lots of dedication. Onwards and upwards you know you can do it

Congratulations, that is a major achievement given everything that's happened. I hope your housing situation improves (I have a feeling good things will happen for you soon as you sound determined). Well done

Congratulations!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
