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 now School have contacted me to say that they'd like to see pics of my two Autistic children dressed in their school uniforms 'clapping for carers' or 'other proof that that are doing their bit'.

What on earth for? Is the school run by the same people who name and shame their neighbours for not clapping on Facebook?

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 22/04/2020 16:13

@OldLace - they need to fuck right off! that's well beyond the remit of fucking school! AngryShock

SchadenfreudePersonified · 22/04/2020 16:23

Mp 'd'ps eye clicks when he blinks. Lay next to him in bed and "click, click, click"
"Your eyes clicking again"...
looks at me, blinks "click"
"oh its ok it doesn't bother me" "click, click, click"...

I'm gritting my teeth and clenching both my fists on your behalf, monkeys

If you want me to take him out (in a Tony Soprano sort of way, obviously) I'd be delighted to oblige . . .

Can you just tell them to fuck off to the far side of fuck, and then fuck off some more?

(I learnt this phrase on MN. I love it)

LakieLady · 22/04/2020 16:44

@fuckinghellthisshit, I hate Zoom too. It gives me a headache after about 30 minutes.

We have a weekly, 2-hour team meeting via Zoom, and it completely does my head in. It doesn't help that one of my colleagues uses it over his phone, and it buzzes every time he talks. It also gives it a weird time delay.

Not that it matters much, he only talks shite and the only reason for listening to him is to be amused by what an idiot he is.

Wtaf?

I suppose "Go fuck yourself" is not an appropriate response, but I'd be tempted to send it anyway and say that you thought you were replying to something else.

OldLace · 22/04/2020 17:07

@MulticolourMophead, @Crucru,
@ThumbWitchesAbroad @YogaFaker

The thing is what I need is an ECHP for ds, with his query Epilepsy (School sent him home permanantly saying they 'couldnt keep him safe' week before they shut, GP still 'looking into it, 4 weeks later), ASD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia etc. But, no, nothing.

And and EHCP and an enhanced transition for my Y8, ASD, selective mutism, less than 50% timetable dd. But no, nothing.

1st Call for either of them this week. Free school dinner vouchers not working (I'm poor, as I'm their Carer now), & kids so stressed about the huge amounts of work coming home theyre having panic attacks.

But, yeh, I'll dress 'em up in the hated uniform (with all the sensory issues) and get them to clap like seals and put their photo on the school website on FB to 'prove' we are supportive...) Will I jeffrey!

Or, I will talk to them appropriately (ie a bit) about how we can value the NHS, carers, vital workers etc and keep them calm and happy.

Thanks, btw, I'd wondered if I was 'over-reacting'. Grrr.

OldLace · 22/04/2020 17:08

@LakieLady - x post xx

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 22/04/2020 17:13

Oh lord, no - far from over-reacting!
Stupid arses. I'm so cross for you! Thanks

Msmcc1212 · 22/04/2020 17:38

So glad this post is still going. Read it before and was totally with OP! Today, right now, even more so.

To my DH... FUCK OFF. Just fucking fuck off. Fucking fuck off to fucksville and don’t fucking come back. I have had ENOUGH!!! I am doing my fucking best in very challenging circumstances and if it’s not good enough then you can go fucking fuck yourself you twatting, cocking, fuckfaced areshole! And if you want me to keep working and bringing in the only income we have now then may be try being a bit more supportive because I am on my last legs and about to lose the plot completely!

Aaaand breathe and smile and parent...

If anyone needs to know a surefire way of clearing a room of teenagers in under 60 seconds, may I suggest whacking on the Bay City Rollers, and then saying in a voice resonant with memories, 'Oh this takes me back. . . ' Gets rid of the husband as well. That's if you don't find the Bay City Rollers worse than your teens and husband, of course. . .

MulticolourMophead · 22/04/2020 17:57

@OldLace, you're not over reacting, sounds like you're doing your best in difficult circumstances Thanks School definitely needs to give their collective heads a wobble.

snappycamper · 22/04/2020 18:53

This thread has restored my faith in Mumsnet. I thought all my people had fucked off but you were hiding here!

Thanks for the reminder about spoonyfucker too. I have one of those whose going to end up getting twatted with his fucking spoon soon.Angry

steggybigback · 22/04/2020 19:04

I've been up since the crack of dawn with an almost 2 year old and 3 year old. Both absolutely feral, fighting each other non stop today. One of those days where EVERYTHING was a tantrum, the sky was even the wrong colour. Syncronized tantrumming all day long. I feel so stressed my eyes are twitching and feeling like shit from my blood pressure boiling for the last 12 hours. Just managed to escape to my quiet bedroom and DH comes bounding in to show me his fucking knee. Literally stands next to me and shoves his knee in my face to examine.

"I'm not sure if I should see someone soon about my knee swelling, its really bad"

I COULDN'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK IF ITS HANGING OFF RIGHT NOW. 2 SECONDS PEACE, NOW IM A FUCKING KNEE DOCTOR. FUCK OFF. FUCK OFF. FUCK. OFF.

The fucker managed to move quickly on it to make a swift exit after realising that he may be being slightly unreasonable.

Turniplover2020 · 22/04/2020 19:08

I'm going to have a glass of wine just so I can toast you all!

My kids have been mainly lovely and sensible, but my DH? He is furloughed, while I am working at home. He keeps doing jobs around the house and garden and then coming to tell me he's done X, and Y or Z whatever I am doing (even by some kind of sign language when I'm on a video call) Hmm There's more that's fucking me off at the the moment but I think I might explode if I start typing it all Sad looking at you neighbours sitting in each others gardens practically on each others knees

I just want some time on my own to watch things like The Flash, while eating chocolate to relax...

The breathing and true crime programmes are also doing my box in Angry

Bonniefoible · 22/04/2020 19:18

100% reasonable, plus you made me belly laugh. Feel free to vent anytime. 😂

fran245 · 22/04/2020 19:19

Lipz · 22/04/2020 19:22

I want to smack the head off everyone today!! Online classes started here Monday, I receive an email to inform me that my set up is not acceptable!! Reason being I have 3 kids in bedrooms. I have to put them in main living areas with supervision. Yeah that would be fine but I have 5 kids in total, live in a standard 3 bedroom house and don't have fucking spare rooms or people to supervise. So yesterday I put them altogether and because dds class is all singing, all dancing, behave like a complete lunatic, it's interfering with everyone, so after more complaints to me about my set up I plugged out the Internet this morning and the teachers can go fuck themselves!

As for the fucker who invented zoom, I hope you get dick rot!! Every moron I've ever encountered is coming out of the woodwork!! Dh has 10 siblings, that is a fuck lot of people who want to zoom... It's the word of the month, old friends I haven't seen in nearly 20 years all wanting to zoom, no I don't want to do a drinking night or a quiz night or any fucking night, I'm actually quite happy having peaceful, relaxing nights!!

How the actual fuck can people not survive a partial lock down, Jesus Christ you'd think they'd been locked up for years. Why the hell do you want to drive to my fucking house for an hour and want me to stand in the garden and wave to you... Really..... You never bothered your hole visiting before, why can't you stay in your own home, what is the actual problem.

mbosnz · 22/04/2020 19:23

I walked 7 km today, to ensure I did not kill the teenagers, and that they could titter and twitter and shriek long enough for them to have an argument so they'd not be talking to each other.

Tomorrow - they can bloody well walk 7km.

malificent7 · 22/04/2020 19:30

This week my tortoise can mostly fuck off...i love him dearly but he scratches his cage when he wants to get out then when i let him out he squeaks and waddles around the living room...i have to keep an eye on him lest he gets stuck as he has no common sense!

Dowser · 22/04/2020 19:58

I feel sad. Spoke to my grandson today. He’s a clever lad and was acing it in lower 6th
Earning money in McDonald’s
And popping down once a week for tea
He’s struggling a bit now with lack of routine . Missing his mates.etc
Haven’t seen him for several weeks now..miss his company. He’d do a few jobs for us for a bit of pocket money and I just feel so sad for all the young people.

This time last year he was planning his suit for his prom and 16 th birthday
At least he got one. All those children who’ve worked so hard this year and won’t have one.
Really heartbreaking for them
I just wish it was different

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 22/04/2020 20:01

I am feeling forgiving towards true crime programmes today.

Dh has wanted more sex and intimacy, during lockdown, and I am Not Keen. Yesterday he got that hopeful look on his face, and offered me a massage, at bedtime (I bloody know what that means).

Completely by chance, I decided to watch a programme on Fred and Rose West, and half way through dh suggested postponing the massage (and etceteras), because serial killer tv was less than romantic.

Result!

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 22/04/2020 21:04

Another zoom rant coming.....

I've lived away from my family for nearly 30 years, never FaceTimed or had the need to do any kind of video thing. Until now....apparently lockdown means it's time for a family quiz night on zoom🤬

I don't have zoom and I'm working 50+ hour weeks so I'm completely knackered and grumpy all the time. I don't want to spend time with my family who are all off Or working mostly from home and enjoying lockdown. I'm only good with people that get what I am going through, working as a nurse, working all the hours I can. Everyone else pisses me off and yes I know I'm completely unreasonable😳

I can't be the black sheep that ducks out, I'm always doing that. Real life events are easy, as nurse I actually never can get the time off. This is more tricky but it has pissed me right off😡

LakieLady · 22/04/2020 21:35

DFuckingP seems to be on a mission to find a new thing that annoys the shit out of me every single day.

Today's Thing That Annoys Me is misuse of the small sink in the kitchen.

We have a normal sized sink and a small sink. We have a draining board. We have a dishwasher. There are a just a few things (enamelled or non-stck pans, for example) that I don't put in the dishwasher because, over time, it knackers them

Why does DFP persist in using the small sink as a drainer, when there is a clean, empty draining board next to it? Wtaf is that all about? What kind of deranged logic is in play here?

And when you've got a big roasting dish soaking in the sink, and you want to rinse the floor cloth you've just used to clear up some spilled gravy, and the twat has left a fucking saucepan to drain in the little sink IT IS REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING!

I'm wondering what new Thing That Annoys Me the wankbadger is going to come up with tomorrow.
