Is anyone else actually bored shitless?

[dingdongdangledee]

Mum of three here, youngest is a toddler, I'm a stay at home mum. Oh the monotony- ferrying kids around all day every day, relentless amounts of cooking, never ending washing, cleaning tidying, arranging play dates, remembering water bottles, hats sun cream, various kits/uniforms, managing diaries, doing the fucking food order, arranging their summer diaries, dealing with tantrums, looking after and walking the fucking dog. I have been doing this for YEARS!😩

What has happen to my life?!!

Tell me I'm not alone! AIBU?!

You're not alone....I only have two but most days I barely feel like a person. More a robot who completes a series of household chores every day. I exist to facilitate everyone else lives

Could you get a job, either paid or volunteer? To relieve the monotony a little?

I’m a FT carer and life can get incredibly boring at times.
I’m lucky that my kids aren’t young, so I have the time to devote to hobbies.

I feel like my life has become this. I need to inject some spark of interest back!!

Go back to work.

Yes! It gets a bit much sometimes doesn't it?

My youngest is starting school this September. I feel excited and befreft all at the same time. Its a little daunting to be honest. But at the same time. The possibilities are endless!

This has been a very boring year too!

I totally agree. I work part time 2 shifts a week the money isn't great but I look forward to going. It makes me happy to be me and see people and talk about other things.

@sweatervest that's where I will be :)

Yep this is me. Coming to the end of second maternity leave. Feel like my eldest does more at preschool than me

I get this!! Honestly though it's the countless emails & online crap that just throws me. If all was sent home with a piece of a paper I need to fill out without all the extra pointless crap I'd survive.

& I work and still feel your pain

I work FT snow and my kids are late teens but it’s still boring.
Work. Food shop. Cook . Clean. Wash clothes. Ad nauseum.
I have hobbies but life in general is dull for everyone right now I think

YA really really really NBU

When my youngest started school, I went back into education too and retrained. It does get better once you're out of the SAHP days!

Yes. Evenings are all the same and boring /frustrating.

I could have written this. Three children, youngest also a toddler, all the same household mind numbing chores and organisation that I can’t keep on top of.
I also work part time as a TA and I feel like I’m doing a rubbish job there too as I miss so much on my days off and no one fully communicates anything, I walk in on a Monday clueless and walk back out on a Wednesday feeling the same. Whenever I chat to my colleagues I have nothing interesting to contribute, my life is so monotonous and boring. I just try to keep quiet now so I don’t bring others down around me.
So all round work / home failure here.

@sweatervest what did I miss?

Ah. Just checked. I've never watched it!

Go back to work? All of this doesn’t stop, you just have to fit in work and the guilt of letting things slide.

Wait till school age then reclaim some of your life back when you have time to fit more in. Not long op

Go back to work and make husband do half.

tell me about it!🤣

7 kids here. oldest is WFH, the other 6 are at 4 different schools currently.
it's our 16th & final year (thank fuck) at infant school.
love the school but I'm so utterly sick of multiple school runs, shit traffic, awful parking and mainly the organising of it all.
so so bored with it. and because of that everything else feels such a drag.
I'm so glad Euro 2020 is on, love it anyway but it's also an excellent distraction!

14 days to go.
from Sept we'll have a much more reasonable situation.
