to be f***ing sick of it?

[Mich0027]

Fking sick of working all day, coming home, doing chores, being tired, paying bills, moaning, repeat repeat repeat ARGHHHHH
No point to this post but is anyone else fking sick of it too?
Stop the world I want to get off

I've bought locks, but they are weird contraptions that require precise measurements and some familiarity with power drills.

I'm working on it. 😳

@WTFIsAGleepglorp What you need is a bin lock. We fitted gravity locks to our bins as the same thing was happening to us. Gravity locks so they open when tipped upside down in the lorry, but otherwise need a key to open. They're expensive, but worth it.

Haha, just saw your crosspost. I'll get my coat...

No, life is too short.

I work part time, I work from home, no commute,leaves me plenty time to go to yoga classes., walk in the forest. take photographs, potter about.

I am doing what I love.

I’ve got a 13 year old and an 11 year old and I honestly thought i’d Be getting my life back now but the exhaustion and monotony just seems to go on and on

Could you use a bin lock? I would be tempted to investigate the contents find out who it belongs to and empty it on there doorstep

Can I join in the moan-fest. Objectively I’ve got nothing to moan about but I’m so fed up right now. It’s partly the mental load of Christmas. It feels like my head will explode as I’ve got this never ending ever lengthening to do list.

If you had a fairy godmother, what would you wish for? I’d wish for a few days peace and quiet where I don’t have to do anything for anyone else, where I’m not facilitating everyone else’s life at the expense of my own.

X post 😂 I have four drills here FOUR! Why does my partner bring his own??

Some people are total cunts with neighbours bins. I think the lock suggested is the best option.

I got back over the weekend to find that lots of chores hadn't been done. I did what I could but looking around before leaving for another business trip this morning I could see that the stuff I cajoled DH into doing he just didn't do. He soaked a couple of items that needed to be cleaned but didn't wash them. He made a half-hearted job (at best) of everything he did.

And every single leg of my journey has been delayed. And I've finally arrived to find I'm booked into the dingiest hotel I've had to stay in for >20 years. It's dirty and cold. The 'double room' is 2 twin beds shoved together. One of the taps is loose so you have to use both hands to turn it on and off. The extractor fan is loose and has negligible air exchange (which explains why the ceiling paint is breaking off). No bath, and the shower is tiny. The bath towel is scant.

I had to get them to turn the heating on.There are handprints on the walls in the room. I asked if they had any better rooms but they say they're all like this. And there was a whole, generous 1 biscuit on the welcome tray. Not a 1 pack of 2 biscuits but an actual 1 pack of a single biscuit.

And there are nowhere near enough covers on the bed. Not that I expect to get much sleep here. I can't stand pushed together twin beds instead of a double.

First world problems but this is not a budget hotel. For the price, I'm relieved no breakfast is included but, on the other hand, they've got a nerve. I didn't book it so all I can do is tell the people who did to never book me or anyone else here again.

Are you in a Britannia hotel, by any chance, @arranbubonicplague?

🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾 Prices

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Accommodation

Are you in a Britannia hotel, by any chance

I shall take that hint under advisement as I've never been booked into one and I shall refuse if it's mentioned in future.

tbh, it's not clear what this place is. I was given one name for it, the road side face has one name, the name above the hotel entrance is something else. And the hotel entrance had the traditional dead trees in enormous planters with many stubbed-out cigarettes flanking the steps up to the building.

Sounds lurvely. 🙄

Yep! Counting down the days until this Christmas break but it will only go back to normal come 2nd Jan. Really getting fed up with it all.

Can I join?

I work full time 8-5 today I seen my daughter for less than an hour and in the tine I did see her she was so grumpy from exhaustion. She fell asleep on way home fron nursery at 5:30and that was her. Straight to bed she was too tired.

Then I cook dinner and wrap 35 Christmas presents which I have sourced and bought alone.

I then go for a shower then get into bed ready to get up and do it all again at 6am. I could cry most times if I allow myself.

Well I don't like Mondays anyway but it doesn't help that ds 30 loves them coz it's his day off.
9 days left of school and every single person in the building is counting down.
Bloody Autumn Term.
Last week of term is all award assemblies, school plays, school disco and charity day and I am done with it and want to be at home!!

walk in the forest, take photographs, potter about. I've had such a shit couple of years I've taken to watching horror movies every single night as escapism. As a result now too afraid to walk in a wood, forest or any quiet area!!! Duh me!

I had been feeling some of this. I'm 4 months pregnant and have a 2yo and work full time so I'm always fucking exhausted.
In a weird turn of events I had a nasty cold last week and thought I'd got through it but now have my first ever sinus infection. At first I was most distressed about this because it legitimately feels like I've been punched repeatedly on one side of my face - my cheek is hot to the touch and my teeth really hurt. It's agony to eat or sleep.

However... I've now been signed off work with antibiotics and am under strict instructions to stay in bed and rest up for a few days at least (take paracetamol, drink water etc)... And this weekend my husband got his Christmas bonus and decided to buy a Nintendo Switch with it with Pokémon and MarioCart. I can't tell you all what a joy it has been to dump my toddler at nursery in the morning and then come home to my warm bed and piss about on Pokemon all day (between naps) like a child.

Screw being an adult.

Yes. Every evening feels the same. Locked in Groundhog Day. Overeat as bored.

Seriously need to shake it up in 2019 A's THIS IS MY LIFE message to me not anyone on here

TinaTurnipp

You were put on this earth to make us all feel better.

Your mission is complete. Hope your week gets a million times better.

By the way - have you entered yourself into the edible bands name thread?

Sorry OP - that was all about TinaTurnipp

I emphathise, but I thinl I've come through it. I can remember sobbing and thinking there will never be an end to it, but I'm sure there will. Hang on in there.

Exactly the same here. I feel even more pissed off about everything as oh does nothing around the house and so everything falls to me. Granted I only work part time but my days off are constant running around trying to fit in the million jobs that need doing

Mich0027,

you sound like my sister. She's constantly on the hop. When I married DH and decided to have kids, I was very happy to give up work and be a mum & housewife. The idea of people telling you what to do day to day and being stuck in an office all day after a commute doesn't appeal to me.

My life is full of hugs from the kids when i drop them in the morning and pick them up after school. We do homework every night and play together. I have just under 6 hours a day to get the house in shape, prepare dinner and fit any shopping. The kids do a roster of small jobs for dinner (set dinning room. empty/fill dishwasher and clear the table - each have 1 of these jobs each night).
It means I can enjoy a trip to the shopping centre Or coffee with friends in the afternoon Or even the odd treat to the salon; it gives me time to support the school and get involved in the community.

I am the primary family carer and the pivot point for the family, I make sure everyone is looked after - IMO it's the most important role in society!

My sister is the modern woman - working, kids, house etc. To me she's just doing the full time mum role and doing a fulltime job - I ask her why she is killing herself, she'll be old and rich and not know her kids little experiences as they grow and learn.

I'm old fashioned, quite happy to be a traditional stay at home mum, I can't see why we buy this idea off trying to do everything.

I just don't believe that my time on earth should be spent as a wage slave, killing the short time we have on this wonderful planet. That's why I have a husband to be the old fashioned bread winner.

I appreciate not everyone is lucky enough to have a supporting partner. It must be hard but don't you think we have been duped into adding a 39 hour week into our already busy lives ?

It used to be that most people earned a family wage via their husband, we've been conned into equal pay so that both parents need to work to make ends meet - and we see this as progress?

Your life sounds lovely.

But have you read the jealous of women going on maternity leave thread?

There are lots of women who can't find satisfaction and fullfilment in being a SAHM, although I know for a fact that I could.

Foundmyvoice

I'm with you- I ditched my career when I had kids, never looked back.

It was lovely when the kids were young, my stress levels were low, OH was less stressed- it worked for us.

Not only that but it gave me headspace to work out real priorities and ways of living and earning that were not on the hamster wheel.

My youngest is 18 and I choose to work part time only.
