Just wanted to create a thread just for people to vent because I really feel I need to.

I love my child but I'm so tired of everything parenting brings. I'm tired of the endless grind of cleaning, nagging and tidying that is my life. I'm tired of having a poorly paid job I hate where I'm not valued just because it fits in with school. I'm tired of having to be sociable so that my child can be. I'm tired of having no money and absolutely nothing for myself because my child needs uniform, swimming lessons, days out etc none of which she appreciates. I'm tired of having a body with endless problems since having a child - the latest one being painful haemorrhoids. I'm tired of feeling old, fat and unattractive and invisible to men. I'm tired of feeling guilty about never really being good enough at anything and not being as happy as I should be. There - now I don't have to go outside and scream! Thank you.

Work. I’ve been at it for nearly 40 years and have 12 to go.
Sometimes I sit at my desk and think I never get away from it, day in, day out same stuff.

  • disclaimer: I do like it and my colleagues are great but I just want to not work iyswim.

@ZincOxideEugenol she sounds just like my daughter. She's high functioning asd and it's just constant meltdown after meltdown over anything and everything. Its like the worst terrible twos year after year after year. It's exhausting. No help I know but you're not alone.

ZincOxideEugenol · 13/08/2019 12:01

@keepingbees I know it's relentless. She's 20 now and so damn angry at the world. I feel your pain! It's pushing me to the brink of my patience, I dream of the day she'll leave home but she's exceptionally close to her twin and she ain't going anywhere! Keep carrying on and thanks for reaching out x

Tired of being passed over for promotion by mediocre men. Yet again this month. I have a dent in the wall from banging my head against it.
Tired of repeating myself countless times to DD.
Tired of nobody actually listening to a word I say.

Tired of having to live life by budgets as tight as a rats chuff.
Tired of not being listened to.
Tired of being the go to person by fucking everyone.
Tired of missing my mum and having to care for my dad because of his disability.
Tired of having absolutely no one to turn to when I feel I could break.
Tired of putting a smile on for work, my DH and my kids and get fuck all back.
Flowers for you all.

I’m tired of potholes.

I’m sitting in ATS replacing yet another tyre. Sad

I'm tired of everyone wanting something for nothing. Customers who wouldn't dream of asking the Sainsburys cashier to just knock 10% off their weekly shop at the checkout but think it's fine to do it at work. Its the price, it's what it is, you want to pay less then have less. I bet they think they are special or like they are the only ones asking but in reality it is everyone all the time, moving deadlines/delivery dates for the same price or less, pay less for no reason, have something 'chucked in', pay late. Takes the piss. Every. Single.Time. And don't get me started on charities... All of the above in one then!

Been reading this thread over the last few days.
I feel sad that there are lots of us feeling so crappy right now Confused

I'm tired of knowing the sparks well and truly gone after 20 years and I'm pretty sure dh thinks the same yet we plod along making plans booking holidays when all I want to say is
"Let's call it a day. We are both unhappy and unfulfilled by each other and this marriage. We could do it calmly and amicably if you would only realise how much your volatile personality along with the addictive and ocd side of it would allow you to let me be"

The daily thoughts of resentment towards dh because his job has really affected us all,his stress and heavy drinking has effected us all and no matter how I broach the subject it never changes.
The selfish tightness he lives his life by make me feel worthless and shit.

He's like a man child that's actually getting more selfish and tight as he's getting older. It makes me cringe at the moment every time he comes in for a kiss which is the generic just got in the door from work one or the off to bed really early one as he's up at 3 am for work.

Tired of my life feeling like it centres around his routines likes dislikes and general need to be looked after.

Knowing if I was to say enough he wouldn't move out and would make life so hard and the atmosphere so awful (happens when something rocks his lovely life)and my dc have to live in an atmosphere and see me unhappy.

I wouldn't be sad if he came home tonight and said he's decided he's unhappy and is moving out. I'd help him pack.

He earns a third more than me a year yet everything's 50/50.
It literally makes me sad every day that he puts his own needs and wants before us.

Can you tell I'm really really tired Grin

I know 100% if we weren't under the same roof anymore my anxiety would disappear overnight.

God that feels so much better now I've put that all down.
Nobody in rl has any idea that's how it is. Everyone loves him. Thinks he's this hard working fun chilled out man that looks after and treats his family well.
If only they knew how selfish he can be eh

marblesgoing · 14/08/2019 15:18

Forgot to add I'm also tired of being the ONLY one to organise literally everything.
Childcare,appointments,bills,insurances,paperwork etc.

I've recently been dealing with a company I've had an issue with going back to April. It's literally been one massive headache think online chat phone calls emails etc etc and yet the other day he said HE had had enough of it !!!!! I pointed out he's actually done nothing to help me and doesn't even know where we are in regards to this situation,it's me who's dealt with it all !!

I just actually am tired of him and his childlike lifestyle and can't even be bothered to make conversation anymore

WeirdAndScary · 14/08/2019 18:31

I am tired of being the one who thinks about the baby. When to wean, when move her into her room, what clothes to put her in and looking for toys/groups/activities for her.

I am tired of my DH thinking he is doing his part when he isn't. I am tired of feeling guilty that I am looking forward to going back to work because I really am not good at being a mum.

I'm tired of the housework, the life admin and all the family politics that I have to deal with because DH won't.

Christ, I need a long weekend alone with a massive bed, a few books and my cats. And copious CakeBrewGin

Mrsboombastic99 · 14/08/2019 18:41

I'm tired of trying to get any help from doctors. I've been dealing with infertility and abnormal bleeding (constantly bleeding when I shouldn't be) for nearly 3 years and I feel so fed up with it.
