Is it me or do you find it hard to relax in your house, find it hard when she is here as I always feel there are things to be done in his eyes, when in laws call I jump up if sitting down and if cars come around I feel I need to be up and about,anyone else?

I've never had this problem, I struggle to get off my butt and do stuff.

Galwaygirl · 16/04/2019 20:08

I used to sit in the driver's seat but someone complained to the council about me so I now lie on the reclined passenger seat.

Spat my water out laughing so much at they reply above! Brilliant!

Are you newly married or very young? Relax girl! Use your energy more productively like take up a hobby. If the house is passable then don’t waste any more time on it!

MuddyMoose · 16/04/2019 20:13

You lie on your reclined passenger seat on your driveway? 🤔

SillyMoomin · 16/04/2019 20:14

Why would someone complain about you in your car and why would the council even care?

This thread makes no sense.

SillyMoomin · 16/04/2019 20:17

Name change fail op?

Nicknacky · 16/04/2019 20:18

Have you name changed?

MuddyMoose · 16/04/2019 20:18

This thread is bonkers. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's completely lost with it all.

Fjfs · 16/04/2019 20:18

Are you sitting in your driver's seat necking a bottle of vodka?

Nicknacky · 16/04/2019 20:19

Why would you affect property prices?

BolloxtoGender · 16/04/2019 20:21

I give up with this nonsense thread...it’s annoying me.

MrsExpo · 16/04/2019 20:21

I can never relax at home, so I have some sympathy OP. Wherever I look, there’s something that seems to need dusting, or tidying, or sorting out. Or I know there’s some ironing that needs doing, or the oven needs cleaning, or the bedroom carpet could do with hoovering.

I feel I should add that my home is far from squalid, but not perfect by any means. It’s simply my own perception of how it “should” be.

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 16/04/2019 20:21

Self care and rest is very important. If your dh is judging you for your cleaning (or lack thereof) then perhaps he’s the one who needs to be doing more. But your home should be your sanctuary.

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 16/04/2019 20:24

So, when you're jumping up and down seeing to imagined tasks that must be done, what is "she" (dh!) doing?

madcatladyforever · 16/04/2019 20:24

No, I find it impossible to stay out of bed when I get home.

cocomelon23 · 16/04/2019 20:24

What??

Sparklesocks · 16/04/2019 20:26

I can’t follow the thread, Op are you name changing?

BlackeyedGruesome · 16/04/2019 20:33

Sitting in the car: me on Saturday. Unlock the door of ex's house, put Ds in, check ex is there, relock door, walk round to shop to buy chocolate. Sit in car recovering from ds's technology ban. Bliss. Not the technology ban, that was shit though hopefully effective.

Livedandlearned · 16/04/2019 20:35

Op wasn't name changing, she was replying to a pp who said she sits in her car with her sleeping bag and kindle.

Bluntness100 · 16/04/2019 20:38

DDIJ, I do think you should maybe give people context about why you chose to live in your car when you make these posts. As people think you're being funny and don't understand the deeply concerning story behind your posts.
