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.

It took me a few years, but I did find a solution to constant cooking.

I taught the teens to cook, and they are firmly on a rota with me for cooking.

When I finally left my ex, one of the many,many minor reasons was his refusal to even learn to cook basic stuff, so he could do his share. Which tied in to his general refusal to do any chores, instead dumping everything on me and then later the DC.

I'm so glad I'm not still with him. The relationship between me and the DC is making this lockdown bearable.

So commiserations to those who have need to rant.

Oakeyy · 24/04/2020 15:25

Aw, that sounds tough. Can you hole up your bedroom for a night from 6pm with a takeaway/wine and banish the husband, skip the phonecall to GM and just relax? It sounds like you've earned it and definitely deserve it! Look after yourself. Good luck.

Hoppinggreen · 24/04/2020 15:54

Thanks for the red cabbage related support,and also for the coleslaw recipe. Unfortunately due to getting horrendous food poisoning from coleslaw a couple of years ago I can’t face it any more.

Its like they can’t buy small food items - they have to be huge!

Hoppinggreen · 24/04/2020 15:56

Destinysdaughter that recipe uses 1/8 of a bastard red cabbage
That leaves 7/8 of the bloody thing sitting there judging my profligate wasteful tendencies

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/04/2020 16:05

You could make braised red cabbage now, and freeze it for Christmas, @Hoppinggreen - it is one of the things I make ahead and freeze. Plus it ought to take up less space when cooked down.

Or you could give your dh shredded red cabbage with every meal until it is gone!

TheSkyWasDark · 24/04/2020 16:14

Yes mother in law, you know everything about babies and I know nothing and your house is sparkling and mine is shit and you are super healthy and I'm gross. Yes, I love receiving your wonderful advice for the thousandth time this week.

Except you have mould all over your bathroom and it makes me puke and you never wash your hands before eating and you think babies shouldn't be held as it spoils them.

Get fucked.

Husband - stop FUCKING snoring and lose the weight you keep moaning about losing. I don't care if you do or don't but shit or get off the pot.

Also your hypochondria combined with the fact that you never think to clean the bathroom drives me demented. If you were actually bothered, you'd be a bit cleaner.

Also the dog training was meant to be your responsibility so why the fuck have I ended up doing it.

And why is "oh I forgot" such a prominent part of your vocabulary. Make a list, write it on your calendar or just fucking DON'T FORGET. Where's the milk? Oh I forgot. Why did you not put the washing in the drier? Oh I forgot. Why did you not call before you came in so I could prepare the dog so he didn't go mental barking? Oh I forgot.

Fucking sick of it.

Friend. Yes you breastfeed. Here is your medal, the Titoria Cross if you will. No one fucking cares how you feed your baby and no one wants to hear about how wonderfully bonnnnding it is for the millionth time.

Mother. You are allowed to call or text me, it's ok, the world won't implode.

Dog/baby - you are both exempt since you are cute.

TheSkyWasDark · 24/04/2020 16:18

Oh and the parents who let their kids out on our estate all fucking day to play and screech.

We are not on lockdown here but we are still social distancing so fucking COULD YOU.

Could you also teach them that you don't need to scream to communicate with people right next to you?

Notimefor · 24/04/2020 16:21

Yep, fuck the Cat fuck the Ferret, all you do is fucking eat and shit and sleep, I would rather not be involved as they are my daughters - but she can’t feed them or pick up poo or vomit when there’s an incident, because it beneath her !! Angry

Hoppinggreen · 24/04/2020 16:22

Yes SDTG I could , but I don’t bloody want to and I’m being manouvered into it

LakieLady · 24/04/2020 16:26

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius, Kahlua is an essential item, so it would perfectly fine to go out and buy some from anywhere that has it in stock.

Our local offie/convenience store stocks it. Grin

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/04/2020 16:29

Red cabbage enemas for dh then!

BreconBeBuggered · 24/04/2020 16:30

You, woman who has her extended family going to and from each other's houses to socialise from morning till night. Do not tell me my dog should only be walked once a day, even if different people are taking him out, you daft mare. Especially when, surprise, here comes your sister for another chat leaning over the bin. And maybe one of your bloody itinerant tribe could think about taking your dog out for a change.

LakieLady · 24/04/2020 16:41

@Hoppinggreen, I think the male insistence on buying and cooking far too much may be related to anxiety about penis size.

We still have approx 5 portions of Signature Lasagne in the fridge from Saturday, when he cooked enough for at least 6 people, despite there being just the two of us.

Today's Thing That Annoys Me is constant repetition of the same joke.Yesterday, he came down from his spare room "office" and announced "I just have to get out of the rat race, I can't face this hellish commute any more". Which was funny, but only the once. By the end of the day the joke had worn distinctly thin.

Today, it's likely to provoke a murder.

LakieLady · 24/04/2020 16:44

Or you could give your dh shredded red cabbage with every meal until it is gone

Or you could tie him to the bed posts and force it down his throat until the bastard chokes.

Hoppinggreen · 24/04/2020 17:03

Lakielady DHs weekly joke every Thursday Is
“Oh well, at least I get to work from home tomorrow “ Ha fucking Ha
(He used to WFH on Fridays before lockdown)
That red cabbage enema/gag may get some use quite soon

Pandoraslastchance · 24/04/2020 17:38

I'm shielding so stuck at home.

Dd16 is in a foul mood 24/7
Dd7 twitters constantly,all day long
Dd5 whines,whinge and wants to eat all day long
Twatdog is clingy

If I go to the toilet I am accompanied, if i go to the greenhouse i am accompanied, hells fire just fuck off!!

I've got a lovely pair of wireless headphones but if I so much as put them on my head then every fucker and their dog wants to talk to me.

mbosnz · 24/04/2020 17:42

DH, a bunch of goddamned fucking lilies in no ways makes up for the loss of my goddamned cat, who was actually the preferred member of the household over pretty much everybloody body, and no, I AM NOT FUCKING ALRIGHT.

SamVimesFavouriteDragon · 24/04/2020 17:52

@mbosnz Thanks sorry for your loss. Cats are precious Sad

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/04/2020 17:55

Lots of sympathy from me too, @mbosnz - it is heartbreaking when you lose a much loved pet - they are members of the family.

mbosnz · 24/04/2020 17:58

Thank you. She was all that kept me sane when we first relocated. (Sanish. . .)

MinnieMountain · 24/04/2020 22:18

Dear Friend, you might think that your colleagues who have been furloughed are "living the dream" but I've not told you that I have been and how the fuck do you know what it's like? All those years we spent training to be solicitors and now I'm feeling like a spare part. At least you get to use your brain rather than entertaining a 6 yo most of the day.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 24/04/2020 22:41

Today I googled ‘how many people could tigers eat at a time’ but didn’t google ‘nearest tiger sanctuary’ in case the police use it as evidence against me

SchadenfreudePersonified · 24/04/2020 22:43

I expect it's delicious with cornflakes, or even on toast with a cheesy topping.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 24/04/2020 22:48

And why is "oh I forgot" such a prominent part of your vocabulary.

Hell's bells!

YES!!!

They can remember the last time Hereford won the FA cup (or whatever), but forget put their plate in the dishwasher.
