Feeling proper stabby

[Marshmallowandcustard]

Is it just me but some things make me proper stabby!

Ive had a prettt chilled out day. Got loads of domestic jobs done but still relaxed. Dh been to golf for the day. Both dc doing revision for exams.

however tonight they’ve all descended. The kids are play fighting (which pisses me off), dh is ignoring anything that requires effort (tidying up after dinner, telling kids to calm down).

Im walking round in a whirl of multi tasking and chaos. My head is spinning with all the bedlam.

just sat down on sofa having send the kids to get things ready for tomorrow, and dh has sat down with a bag of kettle chips and is crunching every single crisp… crunch crunch, rattle rattle!!!!!!

How do people ever see someone else’s POV if they are never challenged?

Are you familiar with the word 'irony' or does that have some sort of terribly awful other meaning for you too?

Jeez what is wrong with people, @Marshmallowandcustard I shall join you and we can be stabby together

Nobody’s challenged my perceptions here - just told me I’m wrong. I’ve explained why I think we should think about language. I’m surprised mothers aren’t more attuned to what I’ve said, though.

May I recommend rag rugging? You push the fabric bits through the canvas with a pointy prodder - the prodding can get….robust…and it’s most satisfying for ragey urges. For anyone wishing to avoid emotive language, let’s say I often feel like robustly prodding annoying things or people.

Lucky its not up to you then isn't it?

It's a perfect word for an emotion and needs no explanation and it's used a lot. Maybe just swerve the threads in future or report if you feel that strongly. What you don't do is repeatedly derail someone's thread because you don't like a word they've used.

Anyway, hope tonight has been better OP.

Yeah exactly. I don't think anyone is having a go at you OP just trying to say it's not really a good idea to trivialise stabbing.

I'm surprised you had to make such a song and dance about it. It's not a word I use but the OP was already wound up and stressed, and you felt you needed to give her a lecture to teach her a lesson. Why should mothers be more attuned to what you said? Is it only mothers who are affected by actual stabbings? Maybe a little reflection would be good for you too.

@Marshmallowandcustard I hope you had a better day today x
