The absolute rage

[BlackAndTanDog]

I am on my period. I currently cannot plan for when my period will deign to arrive as they’ve gone to pot since returning following BF my DS3 (under care of gynaecologist for this). They are also heavy.

I’ve had a shit day at work and am doing intermittent fasting, so need to eat between specific times. Partner has been off today (usual day off with DS) and yesterday, before going to bed, I said to just bung the chicken thighs into the slow cooker with root veg and a packet mix. I leave for work in the morning at 6.30ish and usually get in for 5.30. I was really looking forward to a chicken stew.

He didn’t bung the stuff in the slow cooker.

I was sat with DS3 who is not doing well with getting to sleep at the moment (probably because he’s a little bit ill) so couldn’t cook.

Instead, he did something else last minute and it was absolute shite. Some fetid garlic chicken swimming in fat concoction. Served with plain white rice. No veg. No colour. Just beige fat and nonsense.

My dad died unexpectedly in the autumn, and in these last few weeks I’ve missed him so much. Today has been hard as I just want to phone him for a chat, but can’t. And then I get home to no delicious (really fucking easy to do) tea.

AIBU for wanting to rage against the world?
And why is it that the smallest things tip you over the fucking edge?

This is the hangry talking, isn’t it? I’ve had this. Have a cheese toastie with Worcester sauce. He bungled it. It’s not the end of the world.

And so sorry about your dad.

So sorry about your dad.
I'm doing IF too. I had been planning to make an aubergine dish that I was REALLY looking forward to eating. I got home from work to find do had eaten the aubergine. I was so incensed that I sent him to the shops to buy me another!

I cried once because 'D'H made stuffed marrows for dinner. They were vile and watery and I'd had a hard day at work

Sorry about your dad

YABU to want to eat a healthy chicken stew when you're on your period eat pizza, chocolate and junk like the rest of us
When I was heavily pregnant I got the rage with a women at the petrol station who had parked that far away from the pump she was using it meant that anyone (me) wanting to use the pump opposite wouldn't be able to get out of their car (I had to park further back from the pump and stretch the hose) it was nothing in the grand scheme of things but I was so angry at how inconsiderate she was I ranted to the bloke behind the counter and as I'm a regular customer and always chat to him he gave me a chomp to calm me down / shut me up
Sometimes the rage just comes and woe betide the imbeciles that stoke it.
My sympathy on the loss of your dad mine passed away in 2016 and Christmas just gone killed me as it was my DD first and I missed him more than any other Christmas.

No fear of that Reallybadidea - my partner doesn’t do veg...!

And I’d love to eat a cheese toastie, but it’s outside of my fasting hours, so I can’t (and importantly, don’t want to - which is a big step for me).

I’m just sad for what could’ve been. And spectacularly pissed off that my house smells awful from the fetid dinner of doom.

LTB

I get this rage, especially when I'm hormonal and it's horrific!! I could kill I swear.

Give your husband hell so he doesn't do it again 😂 I mean, takes 2 minutes to whack some stuff in the slow cooker

To be fair - he thought it was shit, too. And I know it’s just one small thing, but like I said, that’s the small thing that tips you over. Straw-camel-back, etc.
Now I’ve heartburn from the shitty oiliness of it. Bleurgh.
