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.

Oh I love this thread, you've all made me feel better about my small problems and it is nice to hear from others who are also feeling resentful and irritated. As a key worker, I feel I'm meant to be bright and cheerful all the time, being strong in the face of this adversity and I'm not normally like that anyway🤣

I'm cross at my sister for posting constantly on social media how wonderful her slowed down lockdown life is with her family. I'm cross with my mum for telling me how much she is enjoying the lockdown.

I'm a mental health nurse, working in an inpatient unit with the constant threat of covid 19 and reduced staff numbers. So longer hours and constant stress that the next admission I accept might be the one that's covid 19 positive and result in some of our patients getting very unwell, or even ending their lives. That's scary and what I face every day.

And my poor husband dis annoying me for just being in the house🥺

Thedogscollar · 19/04/2020 20:07

Oh malificent 7 you have just made me lol first time in bloody ages.
Finished 12.5 hr shift last night with no break too busy (midwife). I need this thread so much.
My 19 yr old son left home at beginning of lockdown to stay with friends as they could take him to work ,agency work on the bins. Well it was short lived he was away for 3 weeks then returned home to say his friend had gone to stay with sister Ffs! Angry

Explained this is not on and reasons why he thinks well your ok and I'm ok ,fucking hell I've tried and tried to explain how this works but is it going on IS IT FUCK. So fucking angry now off the fucking angry scale.

His new found friends both have serious mental health issues I am concerned for all of them. My son was diagnosed with ADHD at about 7 yrs old we have had a hard bloody time especially teen years. In serious trouble at 17 yrs old due to crime whilst under influence of drugs/alcohol. I'm now worried sick that tonight he has decided to go back to live with his friends as they have work for next 2 weeks. I am livid. Told him he can't come home till lockdown is well and truly over. He is my only child I'd die for him but I can't put mine and colleagues health at risk because of him.

This is all getting too much for me tbh. I'm just feeling what have I done wrong he has had a good upbringing. He knows how I feel I was so frustrated with him tonight I just burst into tears.

Husband has given up I think we have tried so so hard over the years. I'm always going to try I'm his Mum so I will never stop trying. Sorry ranting away but I just needed to vent. I could bloody vent all night tbh.

Deadpoet1 · 19/04/2020 20:08

Completely feeling this thread. My DM phoning every bastard day with a cheery " how's things? What have you been doing? Anything exciting?"
No mother it's the same as it was yesterday, last week, last month. The dawn chorus of" I'm bored" from the kids. Guess what so am I.
Hope you're feeling better for your rant op

MinnieMountain · 19/04/2020 20:09

@malificent7 is the Morris dancing a new thing?

DH went out for a 4 hour bike ride today then kept on complaining how tired he was.

Stinkycatbreath · 19/04/2020 20:12

My 3 year old aon has been pushing my buttons with his whiney voice and going from calling me mummy to a droney muuuuumaaaaayy. He has suddenly from being a star to biting and pinching. Crowning glory was today he slapped my face. Normally pretty patient and don't shout and explain not to hit etc. But I lost my shit ( well for me) . I shouted "enough " so loud to make my throat sore tben walked out of the room. Not my proudest parenting moment. I feel utterly shit now.

For Love of * just when I am having my first laugh in ages reading this thread we have got to FaceTime the in laws !!

MadameTuffington · 19/04/2020 20:25

OP - I laughed hysterically reading your opener and the ensuing thread.

At home with girls 18 and 13 - lovely girls BUT outrageously self centred at times - I do 12 hr shifts in a care home where we have had 4 Covid related deaths, 2 hospitalisations and 5 residents extremely unwell over last 2 weeks along with 15% of staff off. I have just worked a 60 hr week that was physically and emotionally tough when I saw a news item about care and NHS staff possibly getting a financial bonus for each shift - my oldest daughter’s first response ‘shit! Will that affect my uni grant?’ followed by ‘when can you make me that Oreo cake?’ - feck right off - Mother calling me daily moaning that she can’t go to the pub or previously arranged ‘gin cruise’ and has had to postpone her 1000th trip abroad - what a fucking bummer - youngest daughter constantly obsessing about Jeffery fucking Star and his fucking ‘poms’ - Father of my two eldest just had a stroke after years of being an irresponsible tyrannical twat and father of my youngest in hospital with Covid unrelated lung issues - stop smoking you useless dick and maybe you might live to see your daughter graduate - muppet.

22 year old son, suspected schizophrenic in prison in bloody London on remand - no one gives a sh*t - I get it - criminals deserve to be punished but he was seriously unwell, believed the end of the world was nigh and amassed a small arsenal of weapons and fireworks - no one was hurt - neighbour moaning about not getting her nails done this morning - fuck right off!!!!!

Stay safe all 🌈

FindAReasonToSmile · 19/04/2020 20:49

Good to share. Why keep all this shit inside? You are only being unreasonable if you start to escalate things yourself. Other than that, you are totally entitled to your opinion and to fell as frustrated as the rest of us. Good luck.

Sent DD14 to shop to but coffee, came back with decaff.

Sums my day up.

Vinotinto78 · 19/04/2020 21:01

This thread is like therapy. Trapped with three males and my lovely (but tiny) bathroom resembles a public urinal. I’m rage-cleaning on what feels like an hourly basis. Feel like treating myself to a portaloo for the back garden. Haven’t smoked for about 20 years but I could murder a fag.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 19/04/2020 21:04

@Stinkycatbreath - do NOT feel shit about what happened. You showed your son that hitting is not OK - and even though you had reached your breaking point (and we all have one), you kept a good hold on your anger.

I don’t think it does children any harm to see that even mummy has her breaking point.

Dealing with a child who is biting and hitting is hard at any point, but made worse by this current situation, so be kind to yourself - you are a good mum.

That's a really interesting link - thank you! I was particularly impressed that most animals don't eat corpses because of insatiable hunger (usually the devouring begins within hours of the owner's death). I have two cocker spaniels and a springer , and DD has a great dane. Her dog would be unlikely to eat her, I think - he's quite fussy and also doesn't have much of an appetite for his size.

Our spanners are greedy sods, and I suspect I'd be dog meat while I was still warm.

fuckinghellthisshit · 19/04/2020 21:23

Oh man, all of you need to let it all out. Tell all those bastarding twats to fuck right off top the far side of beyond. Sweet relief.

We sadly lost my amazing DDad to cancer last year. Since I have been calling my DM twice a week as she is by herself and very much likes being surrounded by people. My DSis also does the same (neither of us are local). The thing is I have always had a difficult relationship with DM. She is permanently criticising, but is one of those people who can’t take criticism in return.

Since having kids she told me I should call her so that I can do it when it is convenient. Myself and DH work full time and during lockdown have been told to WFH. My DD’s are 2 and 4 and obviously their nursery is closed. This makes things very difficult and we are struggling to get everything done.

On a week day I normally phone DM at 6.30 after we have had dinner. This means DH has to wash the dishes and dry up. Try and have a tidy round etc, before the girls bedtime at 7.30. DM normally talks at me for the full hour. I then take Dd age 2 to bed as she is still BF. DH deals with DD age 4. They are both problematic sleepers and it can take till 9pm to get them to sleep. At which point me and DH just want to relax.

On a weekend as I can phone earlier, before the whole teatime routine I do and normally phone at 4pm meaning we can get everything done together. Today I rang DM at 4pm and there was no answer. I knew she would be out gardening. So I tried again a bit later. I tried a few times. When she answered she was actually annoyed with me! She was trying to get jobs done in the garden and it was a very inconvenient time for me to call when the weather is nice. I felt like putting down the phone. The weather is dry all week. She has very little else to do apart from her daily walk and getting any shopping she needs. Yet she had to be doing jobs in the garden right then. I don’t know what happened to me phoning her when it was most convenient as we had kids. I feel so annoyed with her. Our time is so stretched right now and she has the opposite. I always make the effort to spend the full hour on the phone to her in the week even though there is no great time to do it. Am I really on a weekend now only allowed to phone her during the middle of our tea /bedtime routine as well if the weather is nice. Surely she can take the hour between 4 and 5 off from gardening given our time is more constrained. I am ringing her because she wants me to and it is her that needs the company. I do love her and care for her but feeling so angry right now.

Definitely good to have a rant!

I can’t decide whether to try to lose weight or to prove my mum right and eat myself into the grave.

fuckinghellthisshit · 19/04/2020 21:27

@DominaShantotto same here. In fact he had an appointment for 6th April that was obviously canceled. It is so exhausting and annoying. DC boldly take no shit - they tell him straight but he hilariously and ludicrously denies it all - "I wasn't asleep" - yes you were you snoring old bastard!!!! Ahhh get to fuck, you fucking twat.

I still want to murder him with a spade.

I recommend you use a shovel rather than a spade thecats.

The angle of the handle allows for a more effective blow.

Er - or so I've been led to believe . . .
