Aaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhh!

[B0bbin]

Anyone else? I just needed to let that out!

Bored grumpy lonely tired bored lonely grumpy bored

Wish I could sleep 24/7

Arrrrrrrrrrghhh! Bloody kids leave me alone I am not a clown or cbeebies presenter hired to entertain you for every fucking second of the day. You have toys, tablets, a dog, garden, craft supplies, bikes and each other. Fuck off and let me a drink a tea in peace and don't come back unless theres blood or one of you stops breathing.

And breathe.....

I feel sad reading this.

I have been doing well and what has helped is getting all the cupboards sorted, places clean and tidy, walk at least once a day with the dog for two hours, meal planning, baking bread and treats and writing letters to my friends.

Admittedly my kids are teenagers so easier but little ones are fun.

Blow up tonnes of balloons, get huge pieces of paper and draw around everyone and then colour in, mid afternoon bath, story time, count the trees you can see, look for daisies and a four leaf clover. Make sure you get an hour a day alone, in the middle of the day while the other parent has the children or if alone, a dvd or nap for the child. It won't be forever .

My DH is scrolling through Rightmove and every so often says ”where shall we go now” or ”look at this” then by the time I've put my glasses on he's scrolled past whatever it was he saw.

I'm calculating how long it would take to dig a trench.

I thought this was a safe place

I thought it was just me being a complete cow. I've hated everybody and everything this whole week. The world is full of selfish pathetic w***s this week. Everything my husband says is belittling and done with an eye roll and consequently I am snappy and he can't understand why AAAArgh

Sorry, *@DarylDixonsHair. I didn't see you post when I was typing mine. You can write what you want. I was just trying to give encouragement and ideas. . Apologies.

Aaaaarghhhhhh from me too. Mother who was SO ANGRY at not receiving a shielding letter for her (serious but managed through surgery and subsequently considered treated) historic illnesses now venting her anger my way, as her clinically shielding brother who has just got his letter due to serious current health problems. This is the tip of an iceberg and may just be my last straw with her.

No mum, I'm not going anywhere or seeing anyone due to lockdown. No, I don't want to hear about how your neighbours are doing coffee mornings, and how their kids keep coming into your house.

And for single parents wfh??

I'm the same... I had a little cry hidden away in my hobbit hole at work... I've not seen my ds2 since 2 days after Christmas last year! I just want to give him a hug.. 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔

I think it's a Saturday thing, I'm fine every other day but Saturdays always feeling worse!

HMSSophie yes me too, do you live alone? I do and I know it’s extremely hard for parents with young children but sometimes I just feel like giving up. I can’t help anyone but quite honestly at the moment I can’t help myself. 😢 I do know how you feel, although that’s not much consolation, I know.

I have a patio and a spade and I will be using it VERY VERY soon.

We have been using our butchers for 15 years, they added us to their delivery service.

Last week, after seven weeks of shielding I was told I could go for a walk, I idly mused (out loud, this was my mistake) whether I should think about calling the butcher and ordering and paying and letting someone bring the stuff out and put it in the boot. More for something to do. IYSWIM

That is all, idle musing out loud.

This morning he answers the door to the butchers delivery chap and asks him , I was halfway down the stairs and raised my voice and said butt out and mind your own business.

He is working from home and working hard, ergo I had to wait three days for him to go to Costco. (reader, I nearly ran out of wine. )

Mind your own F8ing business.

All the food in the fridge, there because I go on to the relevant websites at midnight and random times during the day, ditto the freezer.

So dear husband stick to what you are good at, and bog off.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

That feels better.

I'm about to have a nap because I can't stand feeling so bored/lethargic/fed up.
I keep it together pretty well most of the time but today is hard for some reason.

8 year old ds is in a minecraft hole so I'm going to take advantage of the digital babysitter and nap for 45 minutes! Fuck it!

Aaarrrggghhh indeed.
Just back from Sainsburys. It's been very civilized since this Covid hell. Not a huge queue, few people in at a time, all distancing.
Until today.
"Oh look" I say "No queue at all!"
That's because they've let all the fuckers in at once! Carnage.

My dog refused to go for a walk because of shit weather. Dh is working. I said something stupid on Twitter, I did bored shopping, I made banana bread (which I can’t eat). I trimmed my hair, so I need to wear a hat for the next month.

Sorry OP, couldn't quite hear you - what did you say again?

Ds (18) has been lured out of his room by German football on TV. Dh is watching too.

I'm eating wotsits and drinking wine.

Aaaaaaaaarrrrgghhhh!

YANBU
ARGHHHH @ the bastarding wind!
If it would kindly fuck off (Or I'd accept dying right down) I wouldn't have to keep going outside and securing my tall side gates with my green garden waste bin forced up against them, which is full and I can barely move it.
Arghhh again!

@SunshineCake yep will do all those things. In between my full time job plus toddler childcare plus pregnancy sickness. This was a thread for moaning, not for smugly telling us your ideas to entertain kids.

I could scream, but the wind here would just lose the sound for me. I had all sorts of plans for the garden, for two weekends in a row. Done none of it because the weather has been shite, except in the middle bit while I WFH.

@DarylDixonsHair
I just cried laughing at your post thanks for that. That is totally me today.

I’m feeling exactly the same today .
Boredom ! Can’t clean anymore , can’t sort stuff out anymore .... weather rubbish ... dog is hiding and doesn’t want to go for a walk ... I want to pop in town and have a look around, have a nice lunch somewhere and treat myself to a new top but I can’t and I’m feeling really fed up about it .

Oh. When I saw the thread title I thought it must be talk like a pirate day.

Snap, I’ve taken to my bed today. Been really productive past 9 weeks but today can’t get going at all
