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.

And no my kids don't want to zoom your kids. Shit idea. Trite, pointless fail. They too would rather stare into space than try and look interested in 'catching up' with what another child is doing. Fuck off.

BreconBeBuggered · 19/04/2020 23:28

I'm doing the shopping for 2 households. Lots of us are, right? But now DH and FIL have in very different ways got into their stride. FIL Has moved on from requesting carrots and a sliced white loaf, which is good, but hasn't grasped that most shops are simply not bloody open, and there are long queues to get into the ones that are, so requests for grooming or gardening items are not merely a matter of dashing in while I'm in town.
DH has gone the other way and is being sanctimonious about unnecessary trips to places that are, ooh, half a mile away, but still reserves the right to request that I improve my next attempt at buying item x, when it was the only one of its kind available in the last shop I was in, which will also be the next shop I'm likely to be in, what with it being the one bloody supermarket and all. Of course, he is working, and therefore must not be troubled with such minutiae, long as he gets what he asks for.

It was she who suggested that I experimented with different sounds/ music/ speech until I found something that would mask it effectively.

I find the death screams of those who have previously annoyed me are remarkably effective.

Brilliant thread! I'm crying with laughter reading it. Thank you one and all.

We kind of have given up in watching movies together because my "D"H is unable to enjoy anything that is either miserable and set in some far way land with complex plots that would never interest a 12 years or 15 rated that same 12 years refuses to watch even if I gave the ok. What I like don't even come into the equation. It's just trying to mediate his selfishness with kids needs Confused
Another thing that's getting me is having to be tellings the kids what to do ALL THE TIME. Go brush you teeth, do your chores, change that filthy pyjama, go play ball in the garden. They are 12 and 14 ( couple of times I gave them a ball and locked them in the garden) ... Anything that doesn't involve a screen has to be initiated by me. One day I made an expirement and they spent 14 hours playing Minecraft and watching Minecraft videos... DH working from home uses such a loud voice when in conference that I hear it wherever I am in the house even with doors shut. Drives me insane but I can't complain too much.
Can't wait for tomorrow when hopefully they will have some work set by the school. A full three hours of peace if I am lucky.

PinkPanther27 · 19/04/2020 23:56

Constant video catch ups from work to check progress - still doing the same cunty thing you asked me to do 20 mins ago 🙄

I have become a fucking slave more than usual. Get your own fucking drinks,DC get off your arse and get your toy that is on the floor just because your too god damn lazy to get it yourself because your watching stupid bloody YouTube videos that the volume and noise is doing my head in! Swear if my OH goes on any more about fishing and that wonder when it will be over so he can go fishing again,his beloved fishing pole that he loves (along with his fishing gear) more than me will be burned at bottom of garden when he's fallen asleep one night and his fucking pole shuffed up his arse. Got my other DC on Xbox shouting at his fucking friends losing in a game and then throwing a tantrum,shut the fuck up moaning it's a game for crying out loud. My house is too small, neighbours think they better than anyone else, sick and tired of constant family moaning and whining,kids constantly arguing over stupid things,OH always asking me to put kettle on, constant cooking.
Can't escape to loo,if it's not kids it's OH that need the loo(no 2nd toilet☹️) won't go to fucking sleep taking kids ages and keep messing about. Wish they would just go to sleep so I can have peace and quiet.
I just want things back to somewhat normal when I had a clean house,some sort of sanity and not toys everywhere,mess everywhere,OH doing my head in boring the fuck out of me about finishing or some bullshit things his work mates have sent him😠.

Covid 19 fuck off and give me my patience,space,clean house, routine,me and OH back at work,kids in school and my mental well-being back because my head is about to explode🤪🤯

Honsandrebels · 20/04/2020 00:48

Oh and the village sourdough WhatsApp group can fuck right off as well. I am already a slave to dcs and dh and cats, I will not be a slave to some cunting dough living in my hot water cupboard as well!

What? Typo, surely, darling?

@SchadenfreudePersonifieddenfreude - - I know this isn't in the spirit of this thread, nor the time, but if the dizziness persists or gets worse, you might need to get checked for Meniere's disease :(

And yes, it does get worse with stress. I've had 2 stress migraines over the last month that take 3 days to go, despite max dosing on both ibuprofen and paracetamol AND caffeine (I don't get them often enough to have prescription meds for them, for which I'm profoundly grateful until I get one)

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius - (((hugs))) lovely - your ma is a cowbag and you know it, so ignore the poisonous old toad. And remember that many people love you

I've been sniffing and coughing for days...due to go out for my weekly shop on tues - may have to carry a big placard "It's only hay fever" Grin

SDTG and Rose I suspect our mothers all attended the same coven? Mine is fortunately dead now, but I can still hear her rattling as she spins in her grave Grin and the constant nagging to get my hair cut Hmm
Better to prove her wrong and stop responding - it made mine bouncing mad!

I'm fed up of having to think about food. DH comes with me to Morrisons, he knows what is in the fridge/freezer and cupboards, so why does he have to ask "What have we got?" when I ask what he wants? Maybe I should just cook any old shite and feed him that - I couldn't be less interested, it's just fuel that by the time I've cooked it I don't want anyway.
And while I'm having a rant, why does he get up so bloody early? He can sleep in til 8.30 in winter but not in fucking april!
GO BACK TO FUCKING BED AND LEAVE ME ALONE

ah, better, thank you!

Hi Witches - thanks for responding. It's not quite so bad this morning, but I've been sitting down most of the time and don't feel it quite so much. I'll see how it goes though, and will take your advice. (Phone call appointments only ATM with GP, which is fair enough unless something is life-threatening etc)

Gemm83 · 20/04/2020 08:47

@fuckinghellthisshit

You are my angel!! If DH huffs or puff at the kids once more after spending just a regular Sunday with them I think I may nut him, but when I get stressed after spending 6 whole fucking days with them I get told to "calm down!" Wanker!

Oh and DGM84 gave a lovely sarcastic "Well, it's nice to hear from you today" yesterday on her birthday......I speak to her every FUCKING day!! But oh, wonder cousin who hasn't seen her for 6 months went and stood outside her window to say happy birthday and how wonderful it was. Fuck them!!!

Hoppinggreen · 20/04/2020 09:00

My DH can fuck right off with his third party things “happening” bollocks
No, fuckwit, the coffee grounds did not fall into the bags for life I store by the bin - you fucking dropped them in. The butter didn’t fall out of the fridge, you knocked it, the juice didn’t spill you spilt it you irritating take no responsibility for anything Dickhead. Inanimate objects don’t do things, you do so how about you bloody sort it - preferably without a where’s my hero badge running commentary. If I proudly announced every single thing I did around the house and the demand everyone come and look at it you would quite rightly get pissed off with me very quickly. And yes, it’s very good that your job is deemed essential and you are still earning good money while lots of other people aren’t but many people (me included) have lost theirs and you are starting to sound like a smug twat, although obviously I am very pleased it’s the case.

Pineapple1 · 20/04/2020 09:07

You all had children, you all got married (most).

Why did you do either if you can't handle what comes with it?

All sounds very petty

exH took his kids for the weekend 'to give me a break' - this is the man who has had them, solo, for 20 days max over the last 3.5 years since i left (whilst paying NO maintenance whilst still in the marital home)
I sent them with clean clothes, a bag of supermarket pizzas, salad, lots of fruit, biscuits, cereal, milk, soup, bacon, eggs.
He brings them back hungry, having not been for a shower, a walk, and the eldest having been up all night being bullied via his mobile.
(both kids are early teens but have Autism so still need a lot of direction). They've had 'a fry up and Dad watched some war films'

I'd asked him to pick up some groceries (my car is broken and I have only 1 small co op in a 15mile radius). I gave him £100 to cover it.
He brings in the stuff in a large Ikea blue dumpy bag and tells me to help him lift it from the floor to the kitchen table. It's heavy (tins, flour, cooking oil, potatoes etc) I am physically disabled. I hesitate and am going to suggest we unpack it from the floor due to the weight when he shouts: 'oh, well, if it's too much trouble for you!!!
stomps off round my house. 10 mins later asks: 'what's for dinner?'
I would have laughed but I am still a bit afraid of him.
But, I told him to leave, which is a big thing for me.
Stupid, selfish, lazy, crapbag of a human being.
There. I said it. I'll say it again. CRAPBAG OF A HUMAN BEING.

I dont think this situation has 'changed' people, but it has really highlighted the best and worst in what was already there. I will make some changes, as soon as I can. I am not 'going back' to the same.

HappySonHappyMum · 20/04/2020 09:13

I'll join in if I may. My DS is in Year 13, mooning around and eating everything, has been furloughed from his job and needs to find something to do that doesn't involve eating. My DD is playing Billy Eilish all day which is depressing enough at the best of times. My DH's business has collapsed because his suppliers aren't working and the pain he is suffering from his arthritis is awful at the mo - and that I'm moaning about hearing about it all the time makes me a f*cking bitch as I hate seeing him in pain and wish it would all go away for him. And as for me I seek solace in my work and I have been furloughed which means I have more time for shit jobs around the house and extra cleaning. Deep joy Angry

Crickey, that was an essay and a pretty mis one at that. Sorry!
