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.

Can I join?

Fuck you local council in regards to the small business grant and your lack of communication with me. I understand you are really, really snowed under and busy I really do but that doesn’t pay my office rent. Or food.

I am also obviously my youngest child’s security blanket because he just won’t stop touching me. Jumping on me. Needing a cuddle. Needing to be pushed on the swing. I don’t usually mind but it’s relentless.

Bastard home schooling... I just don’t understand phonics! I don’t think we did phonics.

In-laws keep calling. They won’t go out at all and it’s relentless. Relentless. If DH doesn’t answer straight away my phone goes, then the house phone. They don’t seem to understand that we are still trying to work and homeschool.

And no I won’t go to the shop just to buy you a sodding tub of ice cream that could’ve been added to your online shop.

Just no.

confusedandtired99 · 25/04/2020 02:15

And DH is just so noisy! With anything he does.

It’s a miracle that I haven’t started drinking really!

orangejuicer · 25/04/2020 07:53

DP i love you dearly but couldn't you have just looked at what other milk we had in the fridge and not opened the 4pt longer date milk I'm supposed to be taking to my Dad later. I will need to go out again for milk before my next click and collect.

fuckinghellthisshit · 25/04/2020 09:34

@confusedandtired99 I am getting this from everyone, I am so fucking tired and people ring and ring and ring. This morning I had a Zoom call scheduled. I sat down to set it up 15 mins before and it did an update. One of the attendees called asking where the invite was. Hung up. A text from another attendee, mid reply they call. It is now 5 mins to the meeting. I send the invite, the other attendee whatsapps. As I wait for the meeting to start I glance at facebook and see 2 people have contacted me over messenger. WHY?!?>?!

Shopping, I hate shopping. I'm having to shop for my Mum and it's nightmarish juggling her list and mine, I miss most of my own stuff as Imm making sure I have hers. Makes me want to cry and my brother has refused to help...until today when I'd had enough so he's going to take a turn now. Thanks be to jeebus.

FreezerBird · 25/04/2020 15:45

GUESS WHAT

I've just booted the three of them out for exercise without me. They are "are you coming?" I said 'no'. They made sad faces as I closed the door behind them.

I AM ALONE IN THE HOUSE

Streamingbannersofdawn · 25/04/2020 16:02

Oh I feel your pain. Can I have a turn please?

My immediate family are being pretty good, except! DH going on about how great and easy it's been living in lockdown just work and exercise and cooking. Yeah plus the cooking everyday not just at the weekend, teaching and entertaining the children, cleaning, washing, animal care, shopping...dealing with school crap (long rant that one, deserves it's own thread) easy and great for him grrr.

Then my friend moaning and moaning about how hard her life is on Facebook. I know you have health issues but the doctor has said you have no need to isolate you must still exercise, oh but it's sooo hard, we live on a hill. Wtf? You hated your last house and it was on the flat! I have to do everything nobody helps me, you have healthy teenagers at home who cares if they don't want to help make them get off their arses and help!!! Ahhh

Then my Mum who will happily queue outside Sainsbury's and walk the dog but it's too much of arisk to talk to her own grandchildren from the bottom of the garden path!

I'm nice really and very patient and sympathetic in real life but gosh these things are on my last nerve.

Today I may have lost my rag with the husband.

He was away for 2 nights last week (demonstrating PPE to hospital staff in rural NSW, so pretty important). We usually take turns to wash up, and have a cooking rota too (they do not coincide - I will not always wash up after him since he makes a fuck-awful mess!).

This evening he said "whose turn is it up to wash up? Can't be mine, I haven't been here for 3 days!" AngryHmmAngry

So I may have told him to fuck off away again if he couldn't be bothered to take part in normal family life in a grown up fashion. He still hasn't fucking done the fucking washing up - he has cooked dinner but has also left his usual fuck-awful mess, so he'd BETTER do it tomorrow.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 26/04/2020 16:47

I'd just like to point out, as an important thing, that I have of course been washing up the whole time he was away! This was the accumulation since he got back...

fuckinghellthisshit · 26/04/2020 21:45

I hate everyone except the 2 people I gave birth to. Dh has been fucking awful today

I've got another one! DH is up in the home office, good chair, decent desk, but neck sore from so many video meetings on his laptop. So he's bought an external keyboard (Bluetooth of course) and a webcam. Meanwhile I'm sharing the dining table with year 6 DD, naff seat, no room for mouse, my back is killing me. I go to the office half the time just to be more comfortable!

user1471439310 · 27/04/2020 03:56

I am here in lockdown with just my husband. I miss my daughter very much but she is working and doesn't want us sick. I would give anything to have someone besides us here alone. He gets up in the morning, breakfast and goes down to our basement to work on his hobby. Come up for lunch and spend 1-2 hours watching YouTube and goes back down. Comes up for dinner and we have been watching Acorn tv. I need to talk to someone.

TheSkyWasDark · 27/04/2020 08:27

"It will all work out!" "Just go for it!" "Everything will be fine!"

People who come out with this mindless twaddle must either be heavily privileged or incredibly thick.

It is not advice. It's just whitewashing.

turnandfacethenamechange · 29/04/2020 09:16

AND ANOTHER FUCKING THING.

DP and me went to a clothes shop today (it's not lockdown here) because I need some warm things and I remembered his incredibly strange habit of going to the men's section for about two minutes then finding me and following me around the clothing store at a RIDICULOUSLY close proximity. I'm talking like a foot away from me. It makes me fucking RAGE Angry

Loving this thread!

BreconBeBuggered · 01/05/2020 22:48

The fears I voiced in my post from 23rd April have all come to pass.
Not only that, he stood in the doorway while I was watching the Yasmeen/Geoff climax on Coronation Street tonight and gave loud sarcastic commentary throughout. The bloody fucking fucker.

Msmcc1212 · 01/05/2020 23:17

Turnandface: OMFG! Yes. That!! I’d forgotten because it’s been so long since we browsed in a shop together but that! And then you turn around and bump into them.

Msmcc1212 · 01/05/2020 23:24

Thank god you are all still here.

Can’t even be bothered to type why but:

Fuck off. All of you!!! Give me some space. Give me some peace! Just shut up!!! Shut up!!! But no. You are there all fucking day so that the only time I have to myself is now and I should be asleep! Missed most of the zoom chat with friends because DC would not go to sleep. So another opportunity to have a grown up conversation gone. Fucking fuck.

I am a kind and patient person usually. Honestly.

TheSkyWasDark · 02/05/2020 05:23

Why is the rice still in the rice cooker and not in fridge? Why didn't you tell me your parents are visiting (not UK, don't yell at me)? Why didn't you wake up and walk the dog?

"I forget."

I called a member of my immediate family a turd-breathed twat last night. Behind their back. To another member of my immediate family. I am so past the end of my tether.

We have had no water for 4 days this week.

Never been so fucked off. Might beat someone to death with the clothes horse. Just to ease the boredom.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 02/05/2020 13:23

Dh - you can fuck off to the far side of fuck, and then fuck off some more, with your daily question “What are we doing for lunch?” And when I offered him not one, not two, but fecking THREE different options for lunch today, he still can’t make up his fecking mind!

And he has just suggested we eat the ham that is for tonight’s dinner, with salad. Which I have told him more than once, but he appears incapable of remembering anything I say to him.

I have come to the conclusion that I am The Silence, from Dr Who. In case you don’t know, this is a race of aliens who have an effect on your brain, so as soon as you look away from them, you forget they even exist. Dh will ask me a question, and go out of the room, and come back in and ask the question again, as if it is a completely new question. Or I will ask him to bring me something, and he will set off to get it, only to come back empty handed and with absolutely no inkling that he has forgotten anything.

Fecking LISTEN, dh!

MadameOvary · 02/05/2020 16:05

SDGT

I think your DH and mine are related.

Sissymate2 · 02/05/2020 18:11

My sister just sent me this....thought it might help as a defence if needed.." but officer, it was required that we have 6feet social distancing. There were no limitations given in the directive about how to achieve it"Grin
