Aibu for wanting to tell everyone to stfu???

[Sippingonginandjuice77]

I’m currently sitting in my bathroom crying as I just want some piece and quiet in my own fucking home for once!! Everyone is laughing/screaming/play fighting etc etc etc and I just want to scream and hide away from everyone. I never get a second to myself. I’m so overwhelmed by constantly having a house full of noise every fucking weekend and i know it can’t easily change unless I move out, which I won’t do, but I just needed to vent. I’m always listening to everyone else’s shit but when I mention anything I’m unhappy with it starts an argument. There’s nothing I can do in reality as it’s just the way our housing situation currently is, but as I said, I just needed to vent and tell someone I’m really fucking pissed off with it!! Sorry, rant over and will get myself an early night ready for a mega long shift tomorrow

Are these people who annnoy you living with you?

Sounds awful, OP.

Are these roommates or your children or who are they?

Who is everyone? Children or adults? Can you go for a walk?

Get some noise cancelling headphones and watch something on TV or an iPad, unless of course these are children you're responsible for then tell them to calm it down and stop being so noisy all the time.

2 are my children, 2 are older step children (one of whom has a 3 year old) and they stay with us every weekend, although we really don’t have the space! Been here more than normal due to Easter etc and one is my husband. They are all just mega hyper tonight and the noise has not stopped!! Whilst I was in the bathroom, the door was knocked on 3 times asking if I was nearly finished. Finally got my little 2 to bed and the older ones have left now, so it’s calmed down, so going to get into bed and watch Netflix! Sorry, I know it seems like a bit of a non issue really, but you know when you just need to let it out somehow!?!?

Enjoy the peace and quiet.

And the Netflix!

I have come away, with the intention of doing the polite family thing over Easter but getting a couple of days quiet alone when they all went home from the family holiday place. For very very badly needed peace.

DM is not going home, and is now unwell so realistically "someone" needs to stay around until DF gets back from business of Friday. DSis is also here but needs to leave before Friday. I ought to be back for a class on Thursday but can cancel if need be.

My break last summer was spent keeping the extended family happy. And due to a fall DMIL had just before DBIL's family went on holidays, I was the only 1 available to stay on and do the caring needed (she could barely walk, so getting meals and snacks, doing laundry and cleaning, feeding and caring for the chickens, getting the shopping etc).

Today, I want to cry, but I am relatively resigned to it and will take a few hours to myself at some point.

But I need a break just for me very very soon. Covid and it's pressures, never stopped working, teen dd and her additional needs, bonkers dog, extended family problems to solve on both sides.....and every single time I had planned even 1 day off to sleep or get out alone has been scuppered by 1 thing or another for over 2 years.

@BiddyPop oh bless you!! You sound a lot more worse off than me!! It’s so hard putting everyone ahead of yourself all the time isn’t it, when all you really want is just one blummin night to just be you. I really hope you manage to find sometime for yourself soon. I’m a bit calmer today, although I don’t know how! Just running on adrenaline from being so busy at work I guess!!

I completely get you OP, we have adult DSS and DGC(2) here almost constantly atm and I feel like my head is going to explode. No solutions, just solidarity, it's bloody hard.
