No idea whats up with me today. Everyone and everything is pissing me off.
What is life anyway? I can tell you what it is for me at the moment, a pain in the fucking arse.
I had plans to get a new place before lockdown now thats on hold at least till I'm back at work.
My child has developed little shit syndrome the last couple of days.
And my mother is walking about the house like.. I'm bored. Then she will huff, throw herself on the sofa like a fucking child. I dont know who's worse, my mother or my child.

Seriously, just fuck off. I just want to sit in a dark, quiet room on my own with no fucker talking to me or asking me for a lift somewhere or just generally getting at me.

Lockdown and corona virus can piss off aswell 😡

This cant be just me, anyone else?

Same! I've broken my shielding and come out for a drive just to escape. Not left house or garden since March. But I was absolutely cracking up today. Neighbours driving me insane. Everyone annoying me. I feel you. Wine

Yes I've found my people!

I've been seriously fucked off and increasingly depressed for about 5 days now. Can't seem to shake it. Feel sorry for my family, but equally they are really irritating me.

megletthesecond · 15/06/2020 18:57

Yep.
My dc's won't tidy up around the house so I'm scuttling around like a maid picking up after them. My 11yr old is on permanent verge of violent meltdown so I'm walking on eggshells and trying to placate her.

Love this thread, really cheered me up. Thanks everyone.

RJnomore1 · 15/06/2020 19:04

Who was due dinner at 5? Did she get it ok?

Dollyparton3 · 15/06/2020 19:11

This thread is cathartic! DSD has thrown a mega tantrum that always gets grandma on side and now DH is expected to back down or face "the sulk" that he's getting now. Throughout lockdown we've ferried everything to our in laws house 30 mins away so that they wouldn't need to go to the shops.

He's getting the silent treatment, DSD is at their house not social distancing at theirs or when she's been out with her mates for the past 3 days.
In laws refuse to engage and so does DSD.

So we're the twats currently sat at home being ignored by everyone despite spending the first 11 weeks of lockdown making sure everyone else is ok. We're exhausted, the retired people and teens on furlough are treating this like one long holiday

Jux · 15/06/2020 19:18

I don't feel as you do but I do understand it and sympathise. I hope that tomorrow will different and you'll feel more positive. Don't beat yourself up though, it's a horrible stressful situation and you've every right to feel as fed up as your mum and your child do.

Can you all get together and have a chat about positivity, how to stay positive until this is over, and how to deal with each of you when you've each just had enough?

LakieLady · 15/06/2020 19:25

DP WFH is driving me mad.

I don't work on Mondays or Fridays, but because of WFH, they're not that different from other days.

I slept really badly last night and finally dropped off properly around 6am. I was in a lovely deep sleep at 8.30, when DP's voice came booming out of the spare room as he explained to one of his team how to do something.

I seriously considered garrotting him with the lead of the laptop. I find excuses to go to the shops, just so I can get away from him for an hour or two.

The fucker has also announced, without any consultation whatsoever, that unless he absolutely has to go back to the office when things go back to "normal", he will continue to WFH except for when he has meetings. I'll never again be able to loaf about all day on the sofa, do a 20 minute speed clean and pretend I've been really busy all day.

I'm going to have to LTB, aren't I?

MarleyBarley18 · 15/06/2020 19:27

Online shopping helps lol

Wishihadanalgorithm · 15/06/2020 19:29

I am not feeling like you today, OP but there is every chance I will tomorrow or the day after. I have so many of these days where it is all just shit. I wake up, work, cook and eat then work then go to bed. DD is back at school 4 days a week so that gives me time to work so life is easier but it is still shit.

I don’t know when I will feel normal again.

LakieLady · 15/06/2020 19:35

@BookWitch, we have a very elderly DDog, too, so I feel your pain.

She started walking really oddly earlier, veering to the left and moving her left hind leg in a really weird fashion. I thought she was having some kind of stroke.

Turned out she had a twig stuck between the pad of her paws.

CrowCat · 15/06/2020 19:36

I hear you. I've told me exh to fuck off. I've told friends to fuck off. I've told family to fuck off. Everything feels overwhelming

Even though lockdown is easing, my DM is still like the corona police. Which is pissing me off. My DB is just as bad but with a side order of hypocrite. Which is pissing me off. I'm self employed and lack of income is pissing me off. My exh moved a new girlfriend in during lockdown and then didn't see our DD for 10 weeks and he's pissing me off.

It's all shite.

That feels better! Hope you get some peace, OP.

On top of an already shit day my OH decides he now wants to be an arse with me.

Fuck sake, is it bedtime yet?

Some of these comments on here have really made me laugh though. I hope its cheered everyone else up as much as it has me 😁

School work can do one.

Dh can stop popping out of his box and giving little titbits of ‘helpful’ advice about situations he knows less than half the story about.

Tea can decide what to be and cook itself

The bastard snails can stop eating my veggie plants.

And my trusty reliable fantastic washing machine has finally ground (literally) to a halt after 20 years. I am more sad than annoyed about that. And I don’t even care that I’m washing stuff in the bath because I can’t even be bothered to look for a new one.

I am fed up. And. Just. Can’t. Be. Bothered 😕

Whatisinaname1223 · 15/06/2020 19:42

Apple222 · 15/06/2020 19:54

I do not want to see anyone or speak to anyone for at least three months. I am beginning to see exactly why nuns in contemplative orders pursue this vocation. I could quite happily join them.

sweetkitty · 15/06/2020 19:55

I’m back at work but there’s actually no work to do (teacher with no kids in to teach) so instead today I was moving furniture and cleaning out a garage and I have a bad back so I’ll be aching tomorrow. Then there’s the paperwork you just get a load done and they dump another load on you it’s relentless.

Fed up of cooking, cleaning, ironing all the usual housework stuff. Fed up homeschooling DS and making sure the teenagers get out their beds and do something. Fed up with the cheek of you ask them to do something.

Fed up of having no family who actually gone a toss about us and have never helped at all. Fed up of friends one of whom totally attacked me for no reason saying I shouldn’t be in my job.

Dollyparton3 · 15/06/2020 20:11

@Lakielady yours made me laugh! My husband has had 2 days working from home so far and made out it was like leading Armageddon. I've been at home since mid March with no time off yet.

I'm adding to this that my father kicked off another round of "I called you last so I've got the hump" at the start of lockdown then he found the voicemail I'd left him weeks earlier. I've not spoken to him since because yet again he made it all about him.

Thank god we have a very lively friend who joined our bubble t the weekend and she's given me new things to talk about other than the entire family who have made lockdown like an episode of holly oaks

I've noticed that the first few posters tend to set the tone of the thread. If a pearl clutcher, snowflake, mood hoover or one of the perpetually offended post first then the thread is doomed.
TazSyd · 15/06/2020 20:16

I’ve noticed something in the air today too. Two arsey, aggressive drivers, for a start.

Orangeblossom78 · 15/06/2020 20:30

Oh totally the dementors all cluster together.

YY to aggressive drivers. What is up with that? Just slightly quieter roads I guess

freeingNora · 15/06/2020 20:34

I've totally covered myself in glory today and I was saying it in my head but nope it fell out of my for crying out loud just sit down and answer the bloody question will you . Not my finest moment I'm a lone parent been in lockdown since the 13th March I've finally hit my limit

I just want to be left along just for a minute I'm too tired to think let alone teach clean cook etc etc

Too many moving pieces for one person I'm done

Gin is calling and I don't normally drink

freeingNora · 15/06/2020 20:35
