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.

This thread is glorious - made me laugh out loud for the first time in weeks. Keep it going :)

StillMedusa · 18/04/2020 18:36

Five adults in this house. Five...one of whom isn't yet related to me.
In that time dh has cooked one meal. I've either done the rest or the adult offspring have cooked their own using every sodding utensil I posess (and some I didn't even know I had) and left the kitchen like the aftermath of a disaster.

Not one has managed to clean the bathroom which we all use...

I'm crocheting furiously and fantasizing about where I could ram my hook.

Even the dog looks pissed off now!

HearthandHome · 18/04/2020 18:37

FFS you don’t get a fucking medal for staying inside with your kids and not taking a walk because you understand the seriousness of the situation unlike everyone else who is obviously happy to murder people by taking a walk with their family and (shock horror) driving ten minutes to some deserted fields rather than walk in a built up area.

GiraffeWithSwag · 18/04/2020 18:37

Is there a ‘corona classics’ yet.....!?

This is truly better than the counselling we will surely need post-Covid Brew

ssd · 18/04/2020 18:37

I do hear you op.

GalaxyEggs · 18/04/2020 18:39

DH is on furlough and has done lots of great things like cooking, but everything I bloody do or say seems to be wrong and it's driving me up the wall!

I ask what he wants to eat for the week, plan meals that I think he and DD will like, he volunteers to cook because I have awful morning sickness and I think that's nice until he complains about the simple recipes because he doesn't like it or it's not what he fancies.

He'll sit with DD watching TV but won't get her food or water because he's sitting with her. I get her water in an open cup because she's much more likely to drink it that way and she does because she's really thirsty and he complains in case it goes on the sofa (even though he's sitting on the sofa right there so can supervise) and gives her her sippy cup which she barely drinks from. Then he says she doesn't need water she gets hydration from breastfeeding... she's TWO! I don't mind breastfeeding her but it's really uncomfortable and I'm encouraging her to eat and drink as much from other sources as possible.

Then when I explain it she just goes "oh here we go cross mummy" and it made me so angry I slammed the door and made a tit of myself!

All the things he grumbles about are NEVER for my benefit, and ALWAYS for DD or the baby. Like if I suggest really nicely I don't want rare meat and am happy to cook it myself he sighs as if I made the rules up and am being an unreasonable bitch.

He also rolled his eyes and dismissed me when I said we'd probably be going into lockdown weeks ago and here we are!

Honestly, he's not that bad. I am an unreasonable bitch at times too and he handles it with grace. But tonight has been too much!

Oh and when I'm cleaning the house and ask if he can just watch DD because I'm taking the bin out and she's wrapped round my legs he'll ask why, and then ok but bring her to me, and in the end there's no fucking point because I've sorted it anyway

Argh! But he has done lots of very impressive DIY things and all my friends no doubt think he's marvellous (he is in many ways - and I must stress I've been a hormonal nightmare!)

LakieLady · 18/04/2020 18:40

@Frumpety: that is genius, pure fucking genius.

And in the car, you can have whatever music you want. I can listen to opera, and read, all on my own. Bliss.

Would sprawling on the back seat with a blanket and a pillow, and a flask of tea, be taking things a bit far, do you think?

No, If you think you can smuggle those items out of the house unseen, absolutely fine. I hear the queues round your way have been huge Grin

Ladyks · 18/04/2020 18:44

Love this so much

Butterymuffin · 18/04/2020 18:49

GET FUCKED HanCOCK! On board with that one OP.

Nannewnannew · 18/04/2020 18:53

Sorry, but this thread has made me laugh so much! 😂
Living alone I’m very lucky compared to most of you who are struggling with farting DHs and militant children/ teenagers.
BUT if I hear one more person telling me all the things they and their DH are doing around the house/ garden, the lovely walks down the beach, or the smashing barbecue they had in the back garden then I swear I will scream! I’m partially disabled and even minor garden work wipes me out.
I’d just love to have a face to face conversation and someone to make me a cup of tea once in a while.

UnagiSalmonSkinRoll · 18/04/2020 18:54

I'm sick to death! of my mum calling me to tell me the same stories and then to rant how all this is hiding something else, the truth will come out soon! Trump has got it right!!
Says she hasn't got any symptoms so why should she self isolate, after the 50th million fucking times I've told her, she can still got for a walk on her own and the supermarket when she needs to.
The breaking point was today, once again started ranting and I just said for the love of fucking god, will you shut up, I've told you I'm interested in all this conspiracy!!!!
My dad got out of hospital last week after recovering from coronavirus and her rants just make me more angry.

Then my ex threatened to come down from where he lives (an hour away) and take the children to his on the train, even though I told him not to risk their lives this way, he went on and on, so I've ended up taking them (made sure I got petrol money off him) and now they're staying with him for 3 weeks and I'm all alone Sad he fucking moved 2 days before lockdown began and thinks the world owes him everything!!! Ffs you're the one who moved in with your girlfriend and her kids after 2 months together!!!!!

That felt good Grin

LokiDoki75 · 18/04/2020 18:57

Oh thank god, I was starting to think it was just me!

DH (44) and DS (10) are both shielding so stuck indoors 24/7 and spending all of that time getting on each other's nerves. I'm trying to be calm and reasonable with them both but I'm going to lose it before long. How the hell they are managing to find so many things to argue about is beyond me but if I have to listen to one more shouting match, whinge, wine or moan from either of them I'm going to make them live in the garden and the shed! I'm stuck in the bedroom because I'm having to self-isolate, so to get around this they are constantly standing in the doorway to regale me with tales of how totally unreasonable the other one is. One of these people is a fully grown adult! Aargh!

Everyone I've ever met suddenly wants to WhatsApp ALL.THE.TIME. so my phone is constantly going off all hours of the bloody day and night, usually with "funny" videos (You had to send that at 3am? Yeah, thanks). I can't switch the damn thing off though because as much as I hate the bastarding thing, I need it because I'm an emergency contact. Honestly, I'd get more peace if irritating Thursday Saucepan Twat was banging her fucking pans at me 24/7!

babychange12 · 18/04/2020 18:58

Can I tell my 3 yo to get fucked?! I fantasise about staying in a hotel all on my own

UnagiSalmonSkinRoll · 18/04/2020 18:59

@babychange12 yes you can! My 4 year old has been telling me to 'calm your beans' Grin

SkaraBrae · 18/04/2020 19:00

'Cross mummy' should be decking him, quite frankly...

'D'H has hay fever and the most annoying multiple sneeze action in the world.
It resonates around the whole ducking house.

My SN DC is slowly driving me insane and I might be pregnant right now.... which would be the icing on the fucking cake for me.

Fairybatman · 18/04/2020 19:01

Thank you OP for this thread. You may just have saved my sanity.

DH is 47 fucking years old and can’t do ANYTHING without asking a million questions. He also breathes all over the fucking place and has developed a habit of leaving everything where he finishes with it. If I move it I get puppy face and If was just going to do that’ you haven’t done it for the last three days why the fuck would you decide to actually do it just now.

Snog · 18/04/2020 19:02

You are all doing better than me, I have totally failed to contain my raging anger about nothing in particular.

I went for an "exercise walk" today and a jogger on the path moved to the side and stopped to allow space for me to walk past. I said thank you and she remained miserably stoney faced so I unleashed a verbal diatribe about her "rudeness". I NEVER behave like that.

Yesterday I did a shop in Asda on my own, like you're supposed to. They had Orange Smartie Easter Eggs, reduced, so I bought myself one. DH stole big chunks of it shared it with me last night, and we agreed how totally delicious the orange chocolate egg was, mmmm.

He went out today to get milk and bread, and promised to bring back another Orange Smartie Easter Egg to replace the one he troughed shared, yay.

He came in with SIX fucking UNICORN Smartie Easter Eggs! I mean WTF? Fucking unicorn? Where's the orange chocolate egg there then DH huh? I smiled nicely and put them to one side in the dining room, because he thought I'd be pleased (and they were only 75p each) but here surely I can say what the FUCK was he thinking buying fucking UNICORN easter eggs when we wanted ORANGE ones?

I'm so disappointed. The orange ones would have lasted us weeks, possibly months. These fucking unicorns will last forever. Sad Hopefully I'll be able to give them away to family when lockdown is over cos there's no way we'll have eaten the fuckers. Fucking Unicorns, aaaargh!

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 18/04/2020 19:06

Surprisingly DH isn’t annoying me, It’s DS age 6 and DDog who are doing my nut in!!

I’d feel really mean writing what I’m thinking.

Bloody mother’s guilt!!

Tiredmummy2014 · 18/04/2020 19:06

This has made my day 😂😂

DH is driving me insane. He has had yet another fucking lie in till 10:30ish, he has one very fucking day apart from an occasional Sunday when I might get one and even if I do I end up with my DD (5) coming in to just see if I'm awake (of course I am all I can here is you and DH shouting as nobody seems to speak at a normal fucking volume when I get to sleep, and the bastard cats are trying to sleep on my head).
He proceeded to make lunch, nice of him, but is incapable of cleaning up after himself so I get that job, and then proceeded to go into his study and play his bastard shitting computer game. When I asked if he was coming in, it's Saturday you're not working today (wfh before lockdown), he said why/to do what and gave me a blank look 🤬 Maybe because I have been fucking awake since 5 fucking 30 with 6mth old DS as I have all but one fucking day in the last 4 fucking weeks and I have no energy to play shitting hide and seek with DD as I'm the one looking after/playing with them both all day everyday on my own you twatting ball bag. An That does feel better although I still want to kill him

GalaxyEggs · 18/04/2020 19:07

Oh the DDog too, yes! 😡 wants to come in, wants go out, in out in out do the fuck about!
