IABU. Unreasonable and I know it.

I am just so fucking irritated at the moment. Everything is grinding my gears. DD's constant fucking exercising, DS leaving his shit everywhere, DH's following me around and just fucking breathing everywhere.
I am being a model of kindness and tolerance but I do wish every bastard one of them would fuck off.

And face timing my DGM97 every day at exactly 6pm to watch her slowly lose her shit (she's been in lockdown for 6 weeks already) and become unkempt is horrendous. Arguing with her for hours about politics (she lives for these debates and asks for robust challenging - good for her mh she says) is exhausting. I just want to lie down, I don't care what Mark fucking Steel is saying today - he can get fucked too.

My mean GD97 who has been living in isolation for 40 years and never wanted a visit or call but suddenly needs the warmth and kindness of his family - well the women in his family, and I am especially sought after as the busiest person. Fuck you mean old man, you are alone for a reason! you made your miserable lonely bed now lie in it!

My normally sane DM is in full lunatic mode, needing constant love and reassurance, leave me alone! I am your child! What about me! Why not rind one of my many bastarding twat brothers. And stop cooking for 12-18 people - there are only 2 of you there - that's why you're getting so fat - not stress hormones.

My tribe of idiot brothers who all refused to accept there was any problem and spouted full Trump rhetoric until my DGM's neighbour died and then had massive mantrums demanding I send them all food. Get fucked!
.
I love these people so very much. I also loved my small business and working, and being on my own a bit. I care so much, but I want a break and a vent. So here, in the safety of MN, I will tell them all to get fucked.

Thank you, I feel so much better now.

My Oh is the same. He thinks he’s feeding an Army. Also makes the same things all the time despite the fact no one likes them.
Instead of the tip there is Freecycle!! Much better to give the microwave to someone than dump it!

fuckinghellthisshit · 19/04/2020 09:33

Lasagne for the rest of the week for DH, yum yum.
I have so much to do but have never had so little motivation.

I'm trying to work up the enthusiasm to do some yoga to stop my old body from seizing up. I also need to bake as I'm in work tomorrow and want to have something nice to look forward to for lunch.

Mairyhinge · 19/04/2020 09:43

Can I join in? Dh is furloughed and busy with his little side line business so not REALLY bothering me except for asking me EVERY FUCKING NIGHT, "so what's your plans for tomorrow?" Fuck. Off.
Dd (23) home now from Uni and graduates this year, with a first, brilliant but every. Single. Day. We get ' I'm busy with uni work so can't shop/cook/clean up/ walk the dog with you' or 'I'm finishing my dissertation so I can't *as above"
And she's got music on Constantly, where's my quiet time gone? I'm a loner who likes peace and quiet.
And then the piece de resistance - ds (17) sleeps until 2pm every day, eats everything in the kitchen that's bad for him , does not ever go outside unless he can go in his car. Has no job or college, will not ever come for a walk and grunts when spoken to.
And my mum God bless her, 84, and has just discovered face time , she even bought a new iPad just for face time! Rings me every. Single. Day.
" what you been up to?"
WTF???? Complains about the milkman getting her order wrong ( I think he's doing it for shits and giggles myself because her orders not complicated!)
Complains that my kids aren't getting her shopping right despite me telling her they are NOT going to 5 different shops just to find you a cabbage.
I am walking the dog for about 1.5/2 hours a day just to escape this madness...
When this is over I'm worried what my 17 year old will do as he quit college last year and when told he will need to start paying board says ' well that's not gonna happen' he's in for an almighty fucking shock!
Oh and dd has moved back home but isn't paying rent because she needs to save.
So we are now funding effectively 4 adults in a single income house! Fml 😫

LakieLady · 19/04/2020 09:47

@RosesandIris, I wouldn't have touched the thing without full Hazmat gear, I couldn't risk anyone else getting their hands on it.

It actually had stalactites of baked on food hanging from its "ceiling". DP had never cleaned the top inside. It was beyond disgusting, even by my low standards.

LakieLady · 19/04/2020 09:54

@Mairyhinge, give them a "chores for food" regime. If they want to eat, they have to work.

Lazy fuckers.

And make DD use headphones.

BMW6 · 19/04/2020 09:55

Could you portion it up and freeze?

BMW6 · 19/04/2020 09:58

(and get a new microwave)

I managed to miss the bit about the damn fly-tippers, fuckinghellthisshit, I take my hat off to you that you got them to re-load and drive off. Utter twats! I think that steely glare in your eye told them not to mess with you. I wish them the worst squits for a month.

Also for the thief of AuditAngel's cat-converter. The metal market has tanked so the theft that wasn't worth it at £120 is even less worth it now. Sorry for your bill of £2k and inconvenient, AuditAngel, it's really shit. The thief can have a month of squits too.

I do like this thread very much, you're all such witty raconteurs. GrinGin

Bonnetdedeuce · 19/04/2020 10:15

Watching tipping point, the woman said ‘at least it’s flat’, I heard ‘he’s a twat’, must get out of this mindset

Oldraver · 19/04/2020 10:17

He got up at midday. At 5pm he came in from his daily walk to the kitchen

This really made me laugh, I have a 14 year old though he will just raid the crisps or Penguin bars.

Ive jsut hear OH say..."he's alive" as he has just come into the kitchen. Probably as he had electronics confisvated last night

UntamedWisteria · 19/04/2020 10:18

DH now drinking red wine until he falls asleep, snoring on the sofa.

Much to the DC's amusement, but not mine.

MumW · 19/04/2020 10:25

I'm crocheting furiously and fantasizing about where I could ram my hook.
Not just me then... 😂

I'm usually on my own all day but now sharing my days with DH who is working from home now and DD who is extremely angry and bitter about her A levels being cancelled.

I am still on my own all day as each is ensconced in their respective rooms BUT I'm not allowed to make noise that will distract from the oh so important work or wake DD up.

I am, however, not alone, and my every move seems to be being monitored and criticised so I am now expect to do H/W all day and still do all the cooking and clearing up in the evening because he's been 'at worg all day'. I was even told off for disinfecting the lid/handles of my neighbour's bins - I usually return thier bins to their property as they are usually at work. Aparently a random act of kindness that might in some small way help the current situation is to be abhorred now.

And if i have to put the loo seat down once more, I swear I'll flush his head down it.

Ahhh, that feels slightly better - thanks for listening!

fuckinghellthisshit · 19/04/2020 10:29

There I am, happily cutting an orange
DD "OH, is that how you cut them"
walks off.
WTF? I mean really. Leave me ALONE!!!!!!

Re fly tippers I didn't make them reload - they reloaded in haste and legged it when we were a good 200m away. DH is fucking massive to be fair. And is developing a 'woodsman from Snow White" kinda vibe. Fuck them and their shitty little van.

synchronised karchering
Of only. I kachered the windows last week and i know DH noticed as, apparently I embarassed him whilst he was on a conference call.

He karchered the bloddy paving slabs so now I have to bloody well karcher them again.
I'll be sure to do it during a conference call, though.

DominaShantotto · 19/04/2020 10:33

*DH now drinking red wine until he falls asleep, snoring on the sofa.

Much to the DC's amusement, but not mine.*

Mine is waiting for a sleep clinic appointment (now postponed) for sleep apnea so he falls asleep constantly whenever his arse touches a sofa anyway - and bloody hell the snoring is off the scale to the point you can't hear the telly. If you point it out to him he insists he wasn't asleep at all - when he's been snoring for fucking hours.

I tolerate it when he's been out at work all day and I assume he must have worked hard - but having seen how fucking little he does most days in his job now - my tolerance is dwindling rapidly, plus I want to hear the fecking telly!

Knotaknitter · 19/04/2020 10:38

Shuttup I am shopping for two grannies. I will not visit multiple shops and I'm only going once a week so if it wasn't on the list it's not getting bought. Remembering everyone's milk and bread preferences is just one more thing on top of everything else that I have to keep on top of.

I am quarentined with DS(20) and to be fair, it's not that bad. Staying in and gaming is something he's trained for thoughout his teenage years, this is His Time. He is unbelievably grateful for food being placed in front of him and does whatever chores I throw his way. Eventually. Mostly.

swishthecat · 19/04/2020 10:38

I am mostly irritating the fuck out of myself. There are so many things
I could do around the house, like decorating and gardening, but I can't be arsed. I jut want to get drunk and go out and stand in the middle of the road and SCREAM.

bluerad · 19/04/2020 10:39

Can I add:
DH kissing the top of my head every time he walks past me, saying "isn't it lovely to have so much quality time together". NO LEAVE ME ALONE
What time will you do Joe Wicks with me. I love it when we exercise together. NO LEAVE ME ALONE
Wont it be nice to cook together NO LEAVE ME ALONE
Shall I book another Zoom quiz for the family tonight NO LEAVE ME ALONE
Shall we talk about how we really feel about each other NO LEAVE ME ALONE
It's a lovely morning can we do some gardening together NO LEAVE ME ALONE
I missed you yesterday. I had spent 45 mins in the spare bedroom tinkering with my sewing machine FFS
I wish the schools would reopen so I could send him back to work

amicissimma · 19/04/2020 10:55

I have to admit I have it comparitively easy. Although I miss the DC like crazy I'm grateful not to have to have little ones needing me every minute.

But ... only 2 things happen in my week: my church streams its service for 30 minutes on a Sunday and my friends have a 30 minute Zoom coffee every Thursday. 1 hour in two bits out of 168 when I'd like to be alone with my computer (desktop).

So why does DH have to go to the local shop just before church and unload all the shopping when I want to listen in peace and join in with the hymns loudly and tunelessly, and why does he need me to tell him where things are, or where they should go mid-afternoon on a Thursday?

I'm not sure that I feel better for that, writing it down just annoys me more!

thetemptationofchocolate · 19/04/2020 10:58

DH & I have been in the house together for weeks now. He is lucky I have not brained him for following me about and asking questions. It's like living in a fucking exam. If I go to another room, within five minutes, he will come in and start asking me things.
The only respite I get is when he gets up early & buggers off to Tesco once a week. I also get up early on that day, so that I don't waste any of the time-with-no-questions on sleeping.
Sometimes I pretend to be asleep, just to avoid another round of fucking questions.
