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.

Thanks a lot Op! I just went myself laughing at these posts. Fuck! Now I've got to change myself x

I've got in the bath. Youngest amazingly asleep by 7:30, eldest been sleeping in ny bed for past 6 months (wanker dad issues), but I need some space. He gets so anxious being alone so i can't watch tv downstairs, I can have a bath but only if he has tablet to distract him. Shit parenting, I know, but fuck me I need a break from him. I love him to death but seriously if I have to listen to one more thing about fucking fortnite I may jump out the bedroom window.

snappycamper · 04/05/2020 07:12

I love him to death but seriously if I have to listen to one more thing about fucking fortnite I may jump out the bedroom window.

I'll follow you out the window. Is there anything more tedious than kids talking about computer games?? Fortnite (or fucking fortnite to give it its proper name) is awful. I've had to ban talk of weapons at the dinner tableBlush

I've been feeling exactly the same this weekend. I really need to be ALONE.

Notenoughchocolateomg · 04/05/2020 19:33

Ban talk of weapons at the dinner table really made me laugh 🤣 it's just constant isn't it. It's lovely he's so passionate but ffs, shut up! Every single conversation my eldest starts with me is about fortnite...sorry fucking fortnite Hmm

VoluptuaSneezelips · 05/05/2020 11:16

OMFG REALLY you got shopping delivered for 8am and didn't fucking tell me. 3 calls later i manage to roll out of bed to the house phone and end up apologising to fuck then scrambling to find clothes and slippers. He also fecking well knows the delivery guys no longer deliver to the front door in flat blocks or even in the foyer so we have to go outside to get it. 24 bottles of fucking pop and enough shopping to feed the entire neighbourhood, WT ACTUAL F, my lungs gave up and ended up huffing my inhaler like some kinda junkie. Swear down just one more thing and im gonna bury him under the patio we do not have COS WE LIVE IN A FUCKING FLAT.

fuckinghellthisshit · 05/05/2020 12:25

FFS in the last 24 hours DH has upped the anti.
At 9.20pm I walked into my bedroom to put the electric blanket on, he was messing around under the bed finding a charger for his electric toothbrush, so I asked him to do it as it was 2cm from him. He said "yes", I checked "will you definitely do it" "yes" Guess what?
Fucker.

UnspeakableBode · 05/05/2020 13:29

YANBU im ready to kill! The only break I get from the toddler and work is sitting down for my lunch and my (suddenly medical and economic expert) husband chooses that time to regale me with reasons he thinks lockdown is a load of rubbish. He apparently thinks that all medicaland economic experts are wrong and he is right. Its the same shit everyday and is driving me absolutely mental.
He has form for believing that whatever he thinks is right and wont stop going in until the reat of the world sees his wisdom. He won't stop going on about it and about his theories. I know he wont stop until I appear to agree with him but its such drivel I cant bring myself to even pretend I agree. Arrrgh! I do feel better after a rant!

Oh God. Oh God, yes. Can't hear any of the news for fucking Opinions.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/05/2020 20:43

It’s me I want to tell to get fucked today. I am such a fat, useless lump doing almost nothing, and eating more than I should - just depressed, comfort eating.

I just can’t see any point in me existing at all. I’ve already to,d dh and ds3 that, if I get Covid, I don’t want to be ventilated. They’d all be better off without me.

Msmcc1212 · 05/05/2020 22:23

SDT; be kind to yourself. These are tough times and just getting through the day is an achievement. It might help to talk to someone separate from family. There are lots of sources of support out there. Samaritans for one. Always there on the end of the line to listen. Your DC needs you now more than ever. Do take extra good care of yourself. You are irreplaceable and unique and the ONLY mum your little one has. Sending FlowersCakeBrew

FlissMumsnet · 05/05/2020 22:23

Hey SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius,

We don't know anything abut you aside from this thread but your posts are very well written and funny. We know it's hard yards at the moment but stick with it; things will get better.

And in the meantime...there's Gin

suchclearwater · 05/05/2020 22:30

I hear youSmile

YouTheCat · 05/05/2020 22:32

SDTG, I do bugger all most days.

Is there anything you'd like to do that is achievable at the moment?

I'm having a go at Duolingo and attempting to get through a load of books. I'm not very good at concentrating for long these days so am just splitting the day up into small chunks. Most of those chunks involve me doing bugger all though.

This lockdown will end eventually. Is there anything you're looking forward to after?

Be kind to yourself. I always enjoy reading what you post.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 06/05/2020 00:16

Thank you all - and sorry for being such a depressive knob. And a slightly dim one - because I had actually achieved some stuff today - not a lot - sorting out my craft supplies (buying craft supplies and doing the actual crafts are two entirely separate hobbies, aren’t they?), and doing some embroidery - and I had forgotten this, when I threw my pity party.

Tomorrow is another day, and I will be better,

And you are all bloody amazing people!

Mincingfuckdragon2 · 06/05/2020 00:37

I posted up-thread, please indulge me for round 2:

"D"H, why in the everloving fuck are you refusing to agree to set up a barely used spare room as a second office? You KNOW (because I have calmly and politely told you several times in the last month) that your constant stomping about and speaking on the phone in your 'big man' voice is driving me bonkers. I have work to do too, alongside teaching 2 children from home outside the 1 or 2 hours per day that you kindly spend with them.

Having no office can't be good for you either, because your very important meetings (and I'm not being sarcastic, we're in the same profession, I know they're important) keep being interrupted by noise from the children because you INSIST on sitting close to the centre of the house then giving us all the stink-eye when we're not perfectly quiet.

Just fucking move into a room. We have a massive house, with two large spare rooms. I've even offered to let you have my (well set up) home office and move to a spare room myself but you won't have it. IT IS DRIVING ME MAD!! And I'm starting to dislike you quite a lot.

Also buy a fucking monitor so you can stop fucking moaning about your fucking sore neck/back/legs. If you slouch all over the kitchen table/front room sofa/living room sofa for 10 hours a day on a 12 inch laptop then OF COURSE your body will hate you. So get a proper set up. Or learn to stretch. Or something. JUST STOP FARKING WHINING!! And if you're going to whinge about your suits not fitting then STOP EATING SO MUCH SHITE!!

DD12 is a delight and I love being at home with her. And I love DD6 also although I'm reeeaaallly looking forward to schools going back next week (not in UK).

But YOU, DH...YOU are being a big fat fuck-knuckle and can fuck off.

Thanks, I feel better. Grin

Shockers · 06/05/2020 08:58

@Mincingfuckdragon2- I actually feel better for reading that too! Grin. I have a similar ‘very important’ man with loud telephone voice!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 06/05/2020 14:53

Today fucking eczema can do one.

It may not be eczema - but I have been getting patches of reddened, dry skin on my arm and neck - I've been putting hydrocortisone cream on, and they do eventually clear up - but lately I've been getting the dry skin on my face (dryer than normal) and especially on my eyelids. I didn't want to use steroid cream on my face, so I started off with an unfragranced moisturiser, which did seem to help.

Recently, though, I have had a bad patch on my chin, just under my lip - it has broken down and wept clear fluid a couple of times, which was pretty nasty - and the skin on my eyelids has got worse too - so I have been using diprobase, which is a moisturiser specifically for eczema.

Then this morning, I woke up with swollen, crusty (sorry) eyelids, and the skin on them has broken down and wept clear fluid overnight - so I am waiting for a telephone consultation with the GP, to see if there is anything they can do. I've had to send her pictures of my manky eyelids - lucky, lucky lady.

But my eyelids feel sore and one of them only half-opens, and it is really pissing me off.

Dh and I had a long talk this morning, about my weight and self-esteem issues and we are going to try to eat more healthily - which will mean that he stops coming home from the Co-op with empire biscuits and sticky toffee pudding - and gets fruit instead. I have to believe that I can lose weight - and losing even a bit would make me feel so much better about myself.

FrenchBoule · 06/05/2020 16:17

DS1 mummy,mummy,mummeeeee, watch meee,watch that,take a look...
DS2 with asd in and out, stimming all the time.
DH “have you seen that”, no, I’ve been busy (general household tasks, taking DC out).
Oh my fucking... whatever.
I want 5 fucking minutes( or 5 hours) not being talked at 😢😢😢

Wine’s been opened this morning to add to spaghetti sauce. I think I’m going to get drunk on it tonight (that’s if I manage)

Another 5 hours to go till inevitable discussion with DS1 “ why do I have to go to bed already” because it’s half past fucking nine and I want fucking peace aaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh 😡😡😡😡😡

Happynow001 · 06/05/2020 17:33

Oh my GOODNESS! Never have I been SO GLAD to live alone!! I've enjoyed reading your posts though!! Well done for starting this thread OP! 😁🍷

MinnieMountain · 06/05/2020 17:44

MIL last night after 10 minutes of whittering about random crap "Anyway, I'll let you get on with your book." Yes fucking please.

DS when told it's time to do his writing "But I've already done what I've been told 3 times today." One of those was brush your teeth and it still took reminding you 6 sodding times.

fuckinghellthisshit · 06/05/2020 17:50

In my house the time I am wfh is 'doss time' so everyone else lies around on their phone or watching TV, playing outside, eating etc. Then I stop work at 7pm and have to motivate them all to help me cook, clean, etc etc. WHy are they such lazy fuckers? Why? WHYYYYYYYYY

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 06/05/2020 18:17

Because it is illegal to use cattle prods on them, @fuckinghellthisshit?

BreconBeBuggered · 06/05/2020 19:19

DH is working long, stressful hours from home, and as I'm not, I'm fine with running the house. But FFS, it's bad enough that I have to tell him where his trousers are, without finding him wandering around woefully in his underpants unable to find them because I apparently said they were on the chair not the stool. NB there is no chair in the room anyway.

FrenchBoule · 06/05/2020 19:37

Daily video call to PIL

“Any gossip” NO
“Any news” NO
“Have you been anywhere” out for a walk (with kids of course) NO
“Have you seen anybody while walking” NO ( answering ”yes” will prompt another 10 questions “who was it, did you speak to then ( and what about), where do they stay, age, occupation,marital status”

“I met Jean, you know, the one that lives beside Co-op, you know her neighbour next door, her sister in law’s husband’s cousin’s twice removed...”
MIL, you lost me already and besides I’m not interested.

Yes, they didn’t have Cathedral cheddar in Tesco and Asda so you went to Morrisons because there was no other cheddars in 2 shops.
You chopped 2 carrots and half a turnip from the bottom of the fridge for soup. Not, I’m not interested what you’ve done with first half of your turnip.

I’m nearly weeping with frustration.I’m sick of pointless conversations 😡😡😡

Fuck off, just fuck off and leave me in peace 😡😡😡
