Walked into my son's room to put him to bed and notice he has drawn on his shelves in felt tip pen for the third time in 2 days and tried to cover it up with his brothers school clothes! Gave him into trouble and what did his fucking dad say?... "Well it's your fault for buying him pens". What the actual fuck, he can't be trusted to have some pens and not draw on the furniture! He has been told not to do this countless times, I even made him clean it himself yesterday. I'm not even pissed at my son I'm pissed at his dad. He had a whole big argument with me over it! My son is 4 and a half and is at school, surely he can be trusted to not draw on the furniture?

Upstart he just doesn't accept the premise that both sexes need their spaces. He maintains that everything should be held in common and that women are behaving unfairly in demanding their space be sacrosanct. If challenged with rape statistics he says "Well YES, that's a bad thing" but with a weary air as if we're unseasonably dwelling on it. He's neck deep in male denial, to my mind.

Actually, framing him as a poor deluded twat in my head makes me want him to die slightly less. Thanks, this was helpful.

Work telling me I now have to do stuff I was told last week and the week before and when I interviewed, that I didn't have to do. It's a shit load of extra work and It severely impacts on the routine I had in place.

@contessa
Totally with you on this. Had a massive arguement with dh about sexism in sport (Serena Williams episode) he is a fucking
Twat. Came in from playing tennis with dd and said she "volleys like a girl". Not ashamed to admit I went off on one. He walks off swearing thinking he is right but i will teach her. Twat!

Penguinsnpandas · 11/09/2018 22:39

When my son was 4 a smiley face appeared on our wall in pen. When queried he said he didn't do it, it was his hands that did it. Suspect your son has same condition. 😎

As for me just work ignoring me when asking about return to work.

Scrumptiousbears · 11/09/2018 22:39

Its my birthday today and it's been utterly shit. Can't list the shitty things cause I'll just cry. To top it off I realise I'm probably passed half my life so down hill from here.

m0therofdragons · 11/09/2018 22:40

The mean girl in dd1's class being horrible to dd1. Dh witnessed her sly excluding moves. Just want to protect dd! She's 10 ffs!

On a plane journey on the way back from Ireland. DD asleep for probably 45 minutes of the hourish journey. Before she falls asleep literally not one peep out of her. As she wakes up she gets a bit confused and has a little cry, but very quietly and lasts about 30 seconds. Woman in front of me turns around and says 'can you get that fucking child to shut up!!!'

My very Irish DM told her to feck off and mind her own business!!! Especially considering her little brat was running up and down the aisle for at least 25 minutes!!

I had to go to A & E this afternoon (ongoing condition) and there was a tiny internal waiting room for people waiting to see the Drs. About 12 chairs. 7 of which were taken up by a woman who had possibly had a mini stroke and her relatives. They were noisy, constantly on phones "oh thought i'd ring and tell you mum is in A & E, yeah mini stroke. waiting for Dr. yeah come on in". And on and on and on. I felt dreadful, had a temperature and headache and ended sitting on the floor in the corridor to avoid the noise. A nurse came in about an hour later and sent them all packing bar one.... cue major kick off! I wish they'd ban packs of tourist relatives, all desperate for a FB check in and much drama.

Fooferella · 11/09/2018 22:47

Been off work with migraine since last week and went back today. Cue colleagues running into my office panicking that something important hadn't been booked while I was off. There was a trail of 20 bloody emails freaking out about it when I went into my inbox. The whole thing could have been sorted by a quick phone call to the company from any one of those bloody people and I could've spent another day recuperating.

Timeisslippingaway · 11/09/2018 22:52

@m0therofdragons

I hope your daughter can sort it out. I know very well what it's like to be on the receiving end of little shits like that.

Really, very minor but I was looking at clothes online today and a model’s pose really grated on me. She looked like she was caught in the middle of Mr Bean’s ‘Bombastic’ dance. Oh God, it’s pissed me off again.

CoughLaughFart · 11/09/2018 23:07

Useless colleague in another office has been ignoring everyone’s emails and calls for a week, despite supposedly being in charge of a major project. Today, two days before the deadline, she’s suddenly realised she should probably do some actual work so is firing off emails at every turn saying ‘This needs doing NOW, when will I receive this?’, copying everyone she can think of in a desperate attempt to a) prove she’s doing something and b) shift the blame Angry AngryAngry

Beargoesgrr · 11/09/2018 23:19

I wasn’t able to sleep last night because of my anxiety, after getting DD to schoool this morning I pushed the shark around the house, emptied and refilled the dishwasher, did two loads of washing, they were drying, changed my bedding, tidied the living room, then I took in a parcel for neighbours up the road. They usually don’t pick up their parcels until around 6pm.

It’s just before 1pm and I think, I’m so tired I could have a nap now. So I get into the comfiest position in the world and doze off on the sofa.

At 1:24 I am woken by the doorbell ringing and the dog going mad. His favourite neighbour from up the road is at the door, and he wants a fuss, stupid dog.

I ran down to the front door, gave neighbour the parcel and cried because I was so tired. I get weirdly emotional about sleep.

A parent at the school sneezed AT ME. I was quite pissed off because I had sneeze on my face

Same parent who has allowed me to get taxis to and from the school each day when my car has been having work done, has now got car problems. He then wanted to argue with me about why I wasn’t taking him and his family home today when it started to rain....he couldn’t understand that A- I’d have to leave DD on the side of the road alone in the rain for 20 minutes to take them home and come back,
B- I didn’t have a car seat for their 9 month old daughter.

Massive CF who I’m trying to spend much less time around, as I didn’t expect lifts when my car was out of use, and I certainly didn’t get them, but now they don’t have a car, I’m expected to just leave DD in the rain to give them a lift home.Hmm

FriedEggs1 · 11/09/2018 23:24

Found out what has been biting me to death this past week, a bloody flea jumping about on my just changed duvet! All my ankles and bottom of my legs itch like fuck, sore and scabby. I'm such a catch. At least I know what I'm dealing with now 🙄

RosiesYellowDress · 11/09/2018 23:38

Pissedoff cos I know got hospital appointment tmrw, sometimes just can’t face the miserable Unfriendly fucker that does that ignorant I going to pretend I cant see u & make u wait at my desk for ages then take ur name. Rahhh

The drawing on the wall is a faze, soon they be drawing on every piece of paper in house which apparently can only have one line of scribble, your important documents are for the creative circle scribbles that require pen hole punchers.

Stangely I spend my time now shouting where’s all the fucking paper gone at my printer

AnneWiddecombesHandbag · 11/09/2018 23:43

Dh had lunch with a client so didn't eat dinner with us tonight. I got the kids dinner sorted and thought I'd do mine in peace when he gets in.

He tells me he's going to have a bath. I say can he just sit with the kids while I cook dinner please? No he says. He really wants a bath. I tell him he's a selfish cunt and I really want my dinner. He strops downstairs and says well make your bloody dinner then. Then before my arse hits the chair at the table he is upstairs and in the bath. Such a selfish prick! Ugh!

YesSheCan · 11/09/2018 23:46

Not today but re the drawing - years ago when DD was about 3, we were at a dear elderly friend's house and while we had our backs turned DD did a lovely mural on the living room wall, with (thank God) a pencil which I'd given her with a paper pad to do some scribbling drawing. The mural was of loads of giant stick people and when we turned around and saw (aaaagh!), she grinned and said, 'look at all the people who came to our party!'

Losingthewill1 · 11/09/2018 23:47

I have had a inner ear infection for the last couple of days that has now turned into a ruptured ear drum!

Got very strong pain meds and I’ve had a family member ask how’s DH coping? ...

I assume they mean coping because I’m bed bound and can’t cook or clean

YesSheCan · 11/09/2018 23:51

@RosiesYellowDress printer paper left in printer is never safe. An entire A4 piece is required for each separate small unfinished attempt at a drawing which must never be thrown away but rammed in a drawer/left in a pile of other abandoned scribbles on the floor.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 12/09/2018 00:05

A new deputy head at school is making her mark by changing perfectly good routines that worked perfectly well for the entire school because that’s not how they did it at her old school. Now things are in upheaval and staff are muttering and morale is not what it was. Hmm

SpoonBlender · 12/09/2018 00:15

Bloody cats brought in a half-mangled frog still screaming. I had to put the poor little thing down. Not the first frog to be brought into the kitchen in the last couple of weeks, but the first one that has been damaged. I know it's my own fault for having the furry murder machines at all, so it's a pretty pathetic rage, but still.

Skittlesandbeer · 12/09/2018 00:23

Just got the phone call. My child won the colouring-in contest at the local art shop (yay!). Turns out the mystery prize pack is the same freakin slime-making kit that I banned from the house last week Angry. They won’t switch it for something else, so I’ll have to buy a replacement myself.

I am still finding bloody glitter-snot smears all over the light switches, cupboard knobs and everyone’s clothes and hair. No way is slime darkening my threshold again!

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 12/09/2018 00:28

The TUC pissing all over women's rights and not even consulting them when it comes to motions connected to the Gender Recognition Act.
