To hate being at home

I have 3 kids. One of them is ok. Teenager, keeps to themselves. The other 2... Jesus Christ! They’re 4 and 7 and are, for want of a better expression, utter twats!! They’re bearable on their own, but together, they just make me want to scream into a pillow!
I use any excuse to get out of the house(I now have 3 jobs!) DH gets the easy bit. Works all day, comes home, eats, goes to bed. Doesn’t have to contend with the little thundercunts quite as much as I do.
Would IBU to emigrate to another country and just leave them all to it?!

What an awful description OP. Even in jest. I suspect it would be best for all in your family if you went out to work and your husband stayed at home. Just saying.

IWantMyHatBack · 25/04/2019 18:06

Wow. Some of you need a sense of humour

Littlechocola · 25/04/2019 18:07

How comes you got a nice teenager? How???
Mine are harder as they get older.

Some real mood-hoovers online today! Blimey.
Thanks for all the sympathetic Gin posts.
Seems I’m not the only one who fantasises about checking herself into a hotel for the night by herself...

No but you might be the only one who calls her own children cunts on line.

Facedown · 25/04/2019 18:15

Doubt it!

Oh I could almost hear all those anuses instantly constricting on ‘little thundercunts’ there...along with the chink of multiple pearls being clutched at once. Ha ha!

IWantMyHatBack · 25/04/2019 18:18

Nope.

Mine are being proper shitehawks tonight

blighter · 25/04/2019 18:19

true to predictable MN form, there are plenty of professional offended posting. i think 'thundercunts' & 'crotchgobblins' is fucking funny. it's not something i would say or think myself about dd, but i get it OP Wink

AutumnCrow · 25/04/2019 18:20

Do you get a break? How? What childcare have you got? Is your DP aware / oblivious / a cunt?

incogneto · 25/04/2019 18:20

Actually found this quite funny! People need to lighten up, I'm sure she doesn't call her children that in real life.

Relax and have a gin OP, you deserve it Smile

mamaoffourdc · 25/04/2019 18:22

Ginon it already! Cheers!

Rafabella8 · 25/04/2019 18:34

Right then. It's one of those posts. I think I'll take my anus, pearls and lack of humour off to a more intelligent thread.

pictish · 25/04/2019 18:37

Bye then.

DoneLikeAKipper · 25/04/2019 18:39

Nah, we all think our kids can reach the bloody limits of sanity (and beyond), but thinking of them as thundercunts and ‘doing anything not to be at home with them’ indicates more than ‘lighthearted stress’. This is just a sad read. Whatever gives others their jollies though.

PiggoSuperstar · 25/04/2019 18:45

Fucking hell. It’s not all fluffy towels and reading before bedtime. Sometimes kids are proper little fucking shitehawks. Does it make you a bad parent? No. Does it mean your abusive and you don’t love them? No. “Thundercunt” is a turn of phrase and OP is clearly venting their frustration and expressing their self. OP’s thundercunts probably have no idea they have been gifted this magnificent title.

I suggest if you don’t like it, then you can go and eat some muesli.

thebabysmellsofpooagain · 25/04/2019 18:54

Sorry you're having a shitty day OP.

They'll be back at school soon enough, only 3 days to get through!

Go and run yourself a hot bubble bath, pour yourself a VERY large G&T and leave your husband to it. I recommend this course of action for the following 3 evenings also.

Ignore the haters, they've got their Perfect lives and perfect children that they probably don't have a clue about what some of us go through on a daily basis! Although, definitely don't use the term thundercunts to their faces as the little buggers will only repeat it at school and I'm fairly sure you could do without the stress of explaining that one away!

Thundercunts...the best thing I've heard this year
I adore you!

DoneLikeAKipper · 25/04/2019 18:59

Does it make you a bad parent? No.

Perhaps, but there’s nothing good about thinking of your young children as ‘thundercunts’, ‘utter twats’ or even ‘shitehawks’, and both parents actively avoid spending time with them. I mean, you should really question where you’ve gone wrong as a parent/person to reach that point. Even as a bottom line, it doesn’t make you a very nice person to think such things about your children, regardless of the hilarious (I’m sure) reasoning.

You really really need to get out more.

PiggoSuperstar · 25/04/2019 19:01

My kids are absolutely awesome! But sometimes they are arseholes. Their awesomeness is is my parenting but I accept their arseholeishness is probably DH’s genetics. Grin

That’s just the way of the world!

"I think I'll take my anus, pearls and lack of humour off to a more intelligent thread."

Wow. Talk about creating an image. 😂😱

PiggoSuperstar · 25/04/2019 19:06

Anyone else now got the thundercats theme as an earworm?

PiggoSuperstar · 25/04/2019 19:07

I’m sure poo tarnishes pearls.

The Anus and Pearls sailed the seven seas in times of yore, I believe, with Johnny Depp at the helm.
