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 this is wonderful, thank you @fuckinghellthisshit and all posters, haven't laughed so much for ages. Saw this and thought only someone with a dick does this, those-of-us-without-dicks are relegated to putting up with things and being accommodating:

Should have said, I know the reddit video is a spoof but it's still a man-thing.

Pmsl, @turnandfacethenamechange. Brilliant description!

LakieLady · 20/04/2020 19:46

Mumsnet should get some sort of crime prevention award. The number of murders that must have been averted because of this wonderful venting opportunity is probably in double figures by now.

Some of you seem to be having a really tough time and need more than just a rant, so these are for you. Wine Flowers Cake Gin.

Just hang on in there, and keep letting off steam.

frostyfingers · 20/04/2020 22:07

You may have already come across this, I laughed a lot....

Thanks for these golden highlights of lockdown ladies! It's incredible, by sharing such such suffering you've made hundreds of women wet themselves laughing, provided solidarity and support. It's better than group therapy Grin

DH spent an hour chasing a fly round the living room today. Armed with antibacterial spray and a tissue.

On the one hand I could tell all his carefully managed worries and fears about the Coronavirus somehow all crystallized and became personified in the fly. Everything he has managed to rationalize away and calm down over for the last few weeks manifested itself at once.

On the other hand “You’re a fucking grown man. It’s a fucking fly. Fucking sit down for Christ’s sake. Sit the fuck down and watch the fucking tv. Sit at peace!”

AcrossthePond55 · 20/04/2020 22:23

DH and I just had a bit of a contretemps because he broke my branch !!!!!!

I wanted him to splint a branch on our camellia 'tree' and instead he just broke it off and said it couldn't be fixed!!!!

I'll break his 'branch' off!!!!

TheBigFatMermaid · 20/04/2020 22:31

DS is on the XBOX, that's fine. DD is on Netflix and disney ±, also fine.. DP, here for every fucking parcel that arrives from amazon, ebay and fabric stores! Not fine!

Pennycrown · 20/04/2020 23:02

Can I have a go?

I am fucking sick and tired of going to work and having to deal with miserable fucking pricks moaning that they have to stay in everyday. That they've not been out in weeks... you fucking twatting liars.. you have been in my shop every day and sometimes more than once. They bitch and moan because stock is low...well fuck off for a week so we can stock up
Am sick and tired of my temperamental hypochondriac mother, who will only contact me when she wants shopping bringing.

I am so sad that I have to watch my uncles funeral on a fucking computer on Wednesday... how the hell do I get through that?.. it is incomprehensible.

I feel so alone at work. While I have been spat in the face, all the big wigs cutting my staff hours even though we are taking as much money at xmas. They are in a safety net while we are putting ourselves and family at risk... they think of more jobs for us to do.. run the shop with 1 manager and 2 staff for 11 hours..stick a broom up your arse and sweep the floor while you juggle everything else... oh and now we will spring a 2 hour virtual visit.. oh i can absolutely fucking do this while i kick the scrubber shop lifters in the head..

OML....when will it fucking end???

OnTheMoors · 20/04/2020 23:29

I need DH back at work and not here All The Time. I don't want to listen to his announcements of what he is going to do next - just do it! I don't want to have to be quiet from 8-4 as he is working on the PC in the living room.
And I need Ds back at school. I don't want to listen to him shouting constantly whilst playing Minecraft. Even when he's playing on his own there is the shouting and constant talking to himself. When I try to eat something, he appears at the bottom of the stairs peering round the corner at me silently ! my knees are disintegrating from football twice a day. DH can't play with him as he has a bad back/bad knee/IBS/ it's too cold/too windy .........

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 20/04/2020 23:54

This thread has had me in stitches

Notenoughchocolateomg · 20/04/2020 23:54

My darling children, are driving me crazy, but lord I'm so relieved I got rid of my waste of space ex 3 years ago! The thought of being cooped up with him during lockdown sends cold shivers down my spine. He would drive me insane! When I get stressed I just think well at least there's no wanker here breathing and scoffing everything in sight, oh and constantly whining about his back/knee/shoulder/gout/any other random pain bollocks. Being single is wonderful. Being single in lockdown is definitely the way!

mizzmelli · 21/04/2020 01:55

This thread is BRILLIANT!!! I have really cheered up! Although i love my DP he wont stop sniffing, sneezing, blowing his nose. And WHY in the name of all that is Holy does he yawn non stop? Really LOUD yawning. And when he gets out of bed he lays on sofa ffs. He has just started bk on the first of 12 shifts which means I only see him for 5 hours a day. Its fucking glorious!!!

MinnieMountain · 21/04/2020 07:14

@OnTheMoors does your DS jabber on constantly about what he has done/will be doing on Minecraft too?

RoxytheRexy · 21/04/2020 07:41

I have found my people! If I have to deal with any more ‘Lockdown positivity’ I will start killing things. One of the Mums in our class WhatsApp group has bought a child loom to start some weaving. Weaving! Like I’ve got time to start bloody weaving

To my child’s reception teacher: No I will not be able to manage 3 tasks a day! She’s not 5 till August and I’m running around after a 1 year old as well. Both me and my husband are still working. We are concentrating on survival.

I ordered a veg box from our local greengrocers and my husband goes ‘Oh it’s good really, means we don’t have to go the shop’. Yes, that’s the point.

I’m so sick of tidying up! I put things away and I turn my back and there’s just shit everywhere again. I’m fed up of looking at bloody Lego or blocks or My Little Fucking Ponies. I cannot play Ponies anymore with you my gorgeous DD or my head will explode.

My work is horrendous. I’m a nurse in ITU and so far my hospital has lost 2 nurses and a Dr that I know. It’s heartbreaking. In between me and my husband winding each other up we are having conversations like ‘So who will have the kids if we die’. I cannot give more at work. I can’t look after people the way that I should. I can’t work the stupid ventilators that they keep wheeling out of cupboards that belong in the 80s. And every shift I think ‘Is this the one that we run out of PPE’ and I’ll have to make a choice between my family and my job that I used to love

YANBU OP All strength to your intolerant rants!

BoBomian · 21/04/2020 08:24

Superb thread OP. Very selfish place marking, as I have nothing useful or witty to add.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 21/04/2020 09:30

I feel so alone at work. While I have been spat in the face

That is foul at the best of times, and dangerous at the moment - I hope they were at least thrown out of the shop Penny. they really need to be charged with assault.
What a filthy thing for anyone to do - I don't care how stressed someone is - SPITTING IS DISGUSTING!

Takeyourfaceoff · 21/04/2020 10:32

DH is finally away back to work, he’s been home for 3 fucking weeks.The flip side of that is now I have 3 weeks of just ddogs (4 of) and dd to drive me crazy. 1.5 hour walk every day with them is essential (3 springers and a cocker cross). Thankfully I’m still leaving the house for work. My 10 minute commute is a godsend. I have been extending it slightly by sitting in the car after work and enjoying an extra 10 minutes of just me.

Now if the neighbours could stop karchering every single sodding thing in sight daily, and the other neighbour could stop strimming their entire lawn (just buy a sodding lawn mower) every other day, I would be a reasonably contented woman.

Destinysdaughter · 21/04/2020 10:48

Fabulous thread! I live on my own and had been a bit envious of all the happy families I see on their family walks but after reading this, I feel quite glad I'm on my own!

Thinking wireless headphones might be a lifesaver for some of you...Grin
