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.

If I go use the butter and there are fucking crumbs in it once more I am going to fucking MURDER DS & DH!!

I don’t care which of the fuckers is guilty, they’re both getting it!! Wankers!!!

FrenchBoule · 21/04/2020 11:19

I need a time away from all of them.
DC 1 home schooling- the bar that school has set is unrealistic to me. Everything that involves pen and paper and not screen is met with huffing and puffing. I yelled this morning.

DC2 with ASD is bored so he climbs anything he can and sometimes falls hitting himself on the way down. He currently sports a scab on his forehead and black eye ( bruised limbs as well).

DH has even less patience than me and progressive disease so nut much help. Just go upstairs ffs.

Phone pinging constantly, well wishing friends but ffs I’m doing schoolwork with DC1 which all of you know about.

I can’t listen to the radio.
Can’t watch the telly.
Can’t do gardening as DC climbs over the gate and legs it.
Can’t finish my cake.

All the fucking mill of life washing,cooking, cleaning. Morning till night when I have to endure the discussion with DC1 why he needs to go to bed and no, not fucking another 10 minutes, it’s after 9 pm and you’re 8. Go to fucking bed!!!

And breathe..,
I’m so frustrated I could cry, scream, whatever. I want my peace back 😭😭😭

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)

I feel your pain faceoff. We have a springer and two cockers (all working types) and the energy levels are phenomenal!

They come back from a four hour, off-leash, chasing-a-ball-squirrels-and-each-other walk pumped full of adrenaline and wanting more, so this lockdown has been a bugger when they are only getting an hour- -hour and a half each day.

What used to be a joy has turned into a real chore . . .

I am going to fucking MURDER DS & DH!!

Very wise, tattoo. It's obviously genetic. Cut it out, root and branch!

DilemmaADay · 21/04/2020 12:51

To my cats - you're very cute but no, I don't need following to the fucking toilet, I don't need meowing and scratching at the door whilst I try to do my business in peace. No a conference call is the worst time to decide to chew cardboard boxes. Also out of the 1000 fucking sleeping places in the house, my bloody laptop keyboard isnt one of them.

My ex housemate - thank you for moving out a week before lockdown and leaving your shite chest of drawers here which I cant dispose of due to the sentimentality. Your entitled attitude astounds me. You lived here rent free for half a year and didnt get me a bunch of flowers or a bottle of cheap plonk when you moved out. You're a dickhead, who would have achieved nothing if people didnt throw handouts at you.

Family - no, I dont bloody well care if you popping over to see one other person is "fine because it's one other person who's also not sick". Its not that hard to grasp, stay at bastard home

Neighbours - don't think I cant see you talking over the fenxe to each other in a group within an arms reach of each other. I'm not being nosey I cqnt just hear you all bastard talking until 11pm at night, be more subtle and shut the fook up

Phew!

Literally the BEST thread I have ever read on MN!!! Am dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

CleansUpPenguinPoo · 21/04/2020 13:16

@Pennycrown and @RoxytheRexy - thank you for going out and doing bloody awful hard work while we stay home. It is much appreciated even if some wankers behave otherwise. Hope you do manage to get some peace and quiet when you get home because you certainly deserve it.

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!

Snap! I've been so grateful I'm single since lockdown started. DC do help with chores, are great for a convo and company, but happily do their own thing as well, so I have been able to get a bit of peace while wfh. Although it looks like I'll be furloughed from next week. Won't complain, I'll get full pay, and can get on with some things.

Whereas, if ex had been in the picture, I'd have been queueing for a space in that allotment. By now, he'll be either furloughed or made redundant, and him at home every day would have been a nightmare. He'd have sat on his arse while dumping all the household chores onto the DC and me, even though I'm wfh. And losing his shit when we don't want to do what he wants to do, or when I firmly say no to sex every day. Wouldn't wish that sex pest onto anyone else though. And this is only some of the shit I'd have had to put up with. Leaving him was my best decision ever.

So true

Harls1969 · 21/04/2020 15:18

Not read the whole thread but 'mantrums' simply brilliant 😂😂😂

Harls1969 · 21/04/2020 15:24

To add to the rant, my DH uses the blender once or twice a day to make shakes (with ice so it makes a fucking row which woke me up this morning and meant I had to pause the online training I was doing for work at lunchtime!). He always moves the blender to the middle of the worktop and never, NEVER puts it back!!! Oh and he fucks about with his pillows in his sleep so the patterned one is on the bottom and is the wrong way round and he just leaves them. Normally this just irritates me slightly but having been with him pretty much 24/7 for over 4 weeks (normally he's away a couple of nights a week and spends a lot of time out doing hobbies) I'm fit to bust. Thanks for the rant opportunity 😂

Harls1969 · 21/04/2020 15:39

Oh and DH keeps grabbing my boobs and bum every time he's within grabbing distance. And he unlocks the bathroom from outside so he can have a piss while I'm in the shower then pervs at me! Fuck off!

pussycatinboots · 21/04/2020 16:14

There is nothing more attractive than a man having a piss while you're in the bath/shower...

pussycatinboots · 21/04/2020 16:15

Except when he decides to take a dump while you're in the shower/bath...

Between my mum who has been prepping for this since the day she was born and his mum who shops at Waitrose three times a week and doesn’t see the point of the store cupboard I am slowly going insane.It took me three weeks to find DMiL sodding cat food and litter And I ordered her extras from Wilkos after Fetch (lying unreliable bastards). Failed to turn up twice and then get moaning that she’s got too much catfood and what should she do with it I managed to contain myself from suggesting curry recipes and instead pointed out it was probably best to leave them safely in the garage so she would have spares if lockdown continues especially as it was so hard to get in the first place.
My mother after announcing that she had everything to look down for six months and didn’t need anything then kicks off that she’s run out of milk yoghurt 28 billionty eggs she needs every day not to mention fresh fruit and veg and of course it’s my fault. I Finally found somewhere that would deliver what she needed and even that wasn’t good enough meanwhile the perfect sister whos done fuck all to help sent her a fucking Easter egg and therefore was the greatest person on planet Earth

I’ve just had enough I suffer from chronic pain with no access to the help I need due to all non-essential hospital appointments been cancelled and so I don’t sleep properly and wake up exhausted and in pain

WaterIsWide · 21/04/2020 18:01

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

Yep. Best £35 I ever spent. I can do my You Tube exercises in silence, well that's what the outside world thinks.

My husband and I can listen to what we like without irritating each other as long as it's on the laptops.

I just wish the t.v. had Bluetooth compatibility. I need to get a device that can make that happen. Unfortunately I'll have to wait until lockdown ends because I don't really understand what I need.

WaterIsWide · 21/04/2020 18:48

how about you bloody sort it - preferably without a where’s my hero badge running commentary.

Where's my hero badge. Fantastic !

whatshebininagain · 21/04/2020 19:09

My DH was due back at work tomorrow after 3 weeks furlough. A guy came to the door yesterday to give him a letter saying it's now till 5 May. Aaaargh.

I got up 30 mins early this morning so I could have a bath and some time to myself. I'd barely subsided into the water when he comes into the bathroom. Proceeds to sit on the bog farting while brushing his teeth for 5 fucking minutes followed by loud rinsing and gargling, oh god, the gargling, then flicking the excess water of his toothbrush.

Just. fuck. off.

mbosnz · 21/04/2020 19:34

Okay, I understand that PPE is a very real issue. I think patio building materials could be almost correspondingly vital.

SummerHouse · 21/04/2020 19:35

"Mum, please may I have a drink and one of those frozen frubes?"
Get it your fucking lazy self you lazy fucker. Oh but hang on, you will spill squash everywhere, fail to find scissors to cut the top off the frozen frube fucker, be unable to push the frozen frube fucker out it's frozen solid sleeve and fail to find kitchen roll to wrap round frozen frube fucker coz frozen frube fucker too fucking cold!! Fuck you frozen frubes!!!

Lillyhatesjaz · 21/04/2020 19:55

I got up at 7 o'clock on Sunday so I could spend 2 hours drinking coffee and watching an old episode of Lewis on TV before anyone else got up. I love early mornings.

TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead · 21/04/2020 20:00

SummerHouse, yeah, my 15 yr old is still like that (bless him) 😂
