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.

Morporkia Thankyou.

My sister posted a reply which went along the lines of: "well aren't you miss bloody perfect...oh by the way your kids are currently with their mates stood by my front garden wall and they are not 2 meters apart. Would you like me to post the picture I've just taken of them on here in case you need proof?"

I fucking love my sis I do. Grin

Oh this is just fantastic!! Thank you to every one of you.....I finally feel sane again. DH is karcher crazy....of it doesn’t move, karcher it....if it moves, karcher it!! Both student kids are doors closed and full on revision for finals and 3rd yr exams....even though they are online, open book so less pressure. The fucking tortoise is now out of hibernation and shitting all over the carpet cos it’s sodding raining. My mother keeps sulking because I keep telling her to stay safe, only go for short walks instead of 3 hour extended gossip sessions....oh and a quick nip over the road to chat to someone else....oh and a quick nip down the road for someone else. And YES DH this glass of wine may be my 5th or 6th OF THE WEEK but I’m feeling a tad overwhelmed with thinking of shopping for 4 houses. Oh, and I’ve no idea what’s for dinner tonight. Oh and no DD a drive back to uni town 2.5 hrs away is not essential so you can get ‘in the right study zone’ but crack on, you decide, your nearly 2bloody3!!!!

Thank you all. Over and out!!

majesticallyawkward · 18/04/2020 17:22

You had me at DH fucking breathing everywhere. It doesn't matter how big a house is there is not enough space for fucking face noises. My DH is on thin ice, my DDs volume control is stuck on stadium gig, DS has become the poster child for needy baby and the idiot cats are literally climbing me for attention. My DGM calls daily, couldn't give a shit what's being said but shouts at my 4 year old about missing her and needing to see her because she is keeping DGM alive (way to traumatise my kid forever there... thanks).

Seriously though op, you are some kind of superwoman to have taken all that bullshit in your stride and not completely lost it.

JoJothesquirrel · 18/04/2020 17:23

First of all fuckinghellthisshit i need you to tell me everything about your life because I decided that I need to have more outside space and more options about what I do with that space.

I decided this on the mother fucking toilet cause that’s the only place where people aren’t talking at me. Dh may or may or may not be coming with me. I haven’t decided.

I am unreasonable because we are staying with my parents because we moved house and are in a super fast market so we’re going to stay for a month to have a look around. Whole parents were at their house abroad. Well yeah that worked out well didn’t it. Now there’s 6 people in a house all having bright ideas about what will make this whole thing easier. All of which involves moving massive pieces of furniture.

I need to be able to dry clothes without a committee meeting and a review process. None of you knew where the clothes came from before. I go for a walk to get some piece and I’m like the bloody pied piper. I’ve not had a sniff of a podcast in a month.

And I’m a vegan and if one more person wants to try oat milk by pour a gallon and then declaring it taste like porridge I’ll be googling how to butcher a human!

GiraffeWithSwag · 18/04/2020 17:23

To clarify...the tortoise isn’t shitting on the carpet BECAUSE it’s raining.....it’s because he/she is Inside the house because it’s raining and not outside 🤦‍♀️

fuckinghellthisshit · 18/04/2020 17:24

@thisisgreatsogreat DH wants to de clutter. This seems to involve picking up my belongings and asking if I still want them. Not his 30578 CDs or his 98674 LPs. No. De cluttering means carefully picking up every sentimental item I own and asking if I want it.
Yes, I want it, I don't want you anymore. Can you de clutter your good fucking self and take the fucking bin out.

Mantrums, lol!!

Morporkia · 18/04/2020 17:25

@trappedsincesundaymorn your sisters a gem.
I just got caught trying to pretend to be asleep but I left my glasses on. Now I feel like a knob and the hot dogs are cooked apparently 😂 bet he hasn’t fried any onions.

Your me me comment made me laugh ,, years ago I used to annoy my own teenaged by calling 50 cent ( rapper I think ) , 50 per cent
Ohhh it used to give them the rage ! But it amused me

SoapIsYourFriend · 18/04/2020 17:28

I have sent him on a fools errands to move some big frisky ram lambs that don't need moving. That'll keep the twat busy and tire him out.

@1forsorrow tell him the kitchen is shut and he can get fucked!
Not really, be as kind as you can but blow off steam here. And eat the nicest bit in the kitchen. You know- five crispy bit that looks delish. Snaffle it up and say nought.

@Questionablemouse the precision phone calls can get fucked! It's maddening. Daft old ladies panicking everywhere deserve so much love and support but in this thread we can tell them to get fucked. And we will.

thegrassisgreenernow · 18/04/2020 17:31

@fuckinghellthisshit thank you!

@Morporkia Thank fuck I can’t bake. God yes. And peanuts/crisps frankly shouldn't be on sale anymore.

Why can no-one else bring any drink upstairs without spilling it all over the fucking carpet?

How can 3L of fresh juice only last 24 hours between 3 of us?

Yes, it's gorgeous that my 'just grown-up" DCs make delicious meals. But just not worth it for the mess they think they've cleared up but haven't. Do love them though, but fuck, it's annoying. And not being able to say it without immense hurt-faces is bringing my blood to the boil.

Yes, bins don't empty their bloody selves.

Frankly, though at the time I thought my life was over, thank god bloody DH ran off a few months ago with his lady-friend. If he was breathing and snoring round here too, I think he'd be under the patio by now.

spikeypurpleone · 18/04/2020 17:31

ahhh this is me. Have received yet another "what are you guys up to today?" message. WHAT DO YOU FUCKING THINK ARSEHOLE? THE SAME FUCKING SHIT. ALL DAY. EVERY CUNTING DAY. FUCK.

God I thought I was an introvert that could happily spend time indoors but I'm literally going insane. I'm slowly giving up on my appearance day by day. Literally just ripped a packet of multipack of belvita open, becoming increasingly enraged at how shit of a dunking "biscuit" they are.

To top it off my DH pulled his back and is fucking ooophing and ahhhing with every move and shuffling around. I can hear him coming before I see him and can feel my sanity leaving me with every single shuffle.

Thank you op, I needed this thread today Grin

roarfeckingroar · 18/04/2020 17:31

@LakieLady I wish my fiancé made a "signature lasagne". Forgive his breathing for that one.

FarmerWantsABaby · 18/04/2020 17:32

I don't know what to say to you..... but I'm so happy for you that you got all that out of your system 😂 👏🏻

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 18/04/2020 17:35

What an excellent rant, and I feel for you!

This one really resonated too - there are PEOPLE in the house ALL THE FUCKING TIME - PEOPLE! DH, DS1 (12) and DS2 (7).

I can't do anything with them all here. I feel totally paralysed by them being here. I like to potter, in silence, without being looked for, asked for stuff, asked questions about what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, why I'm doing it like that, where I am, you name it they'll bloody ask about it.

So I'm not doing anything much apart from sitting on my arse. And trying not to kill anyone.

Oh, and trying to get my husband to understand that self isolation means he can't go off to his mother's and stay there for the night, and take the boys. And that she should fucking well NOT have come for lunch on Easter Sunday (I didn't find that out til she turned up at the door - too fucking late by then! Angry)
He was SO bad when I said he couldn't take them this weekend - guilt tripping them by saying "grandma's really upset not to see you" and "when you're older you'll regret not taking the opportunities to see her more" and all this emotional blackmail bollocks. I could have killed him there and then but I told the boys to remind their father that, if things had been normal, at this point we would have been in the UK with MY father, who we haven't seen in RL for a whole fucking YEAR and may not see for another one at this rate, so suck it up! (OK, not the suck it up bit. I felt that but I didn't tell them to say that. Or the swears.)

Buy an Android tablet (under£100) and sit upstairs and watch Netflix or Prime. Leave them all to it

wildflowersandweeds · 18/04/2020 17:39

There really must be something in the air today! I went for a run and made sure to 'get lost' while out! Sadly as I've got a garmin it meant running 6 miles when I'm fat and unfit. Still worth it.
Just claimed that I was very sore and ran a bath. Except my toddler keeps coming in and asking to join me and then demonstrating her 'walk like a crab' moves! Besides which, I probably need to go and work out what is for dinner; sent DH to shop (at petrol station, so not even Tesco) a few days ago with the instructions "get some chicken- it's 3 for £10". I've only just discovered that that was too friggin ambiguous and he bought one chicken and the rest sausage- well that's going to go great in the thai green curry I'd plannedAngry

Auridon4life · 18/04/2020 17:39

Don't buy a cheap android tablet get an expensive laptop with virtual reality and a premium gaming pass! 1080 hd all the way!

If I hear the words "Is it lunch/dinner time yet?" ONE more time I will be making meat pies a la Sweeney Todd. AARGH
