Laundry.
It never fucking ends. It's just the sheer volume of it and the dread at putting it all away once dry.
The thing I'm most looking forward to about one day living on my own, is having only one lot of washing to do.
What about you?

Ragwort. And don't come at me about cinnabar moths.

I feel your pain!

Bathh82 · 05/08/2024 11:41

Mobile phones 100 percent.

Elderly relatives. I don't want to eradicate them and am dreading them being gone. But life would be so much easier without.

My fatness…,

isn’t that terrible?
of all the things in the world this was my immediate response

But that's ok. The whole thing was meant as a 'first thing that comes to your head'. Yours is just an honest, quick fire response to the question.
And as I said, I can relate!

Work. Or, rather, the financial need to work.

After 35 years as a wage salve, I am just completely done with the whole entire fucking thing and I would retire tomorrow if I could afford to.

My disability.

spiderlight · 05/08/2024 11:55

Migraine.

Illness and disability. Life would be better without those. All the other stuff is mere fluff in my opinion

these things...life long asthmatic here....

much better now.

Friend died on a street in front of her very young kids of asthma attack at age of 43.

ALL ELSE IS FLUFF, ESPECIALLY ROMANCE. OH PLEASE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT DOES IT FEEL NOT BEEN ABLE TO BREATHE

Pain .... it infiltrates every moment of my life.

Genuineweddingone · 05/08/2024 11:55

My mothers lies. They are vile, evil, spiteful and nasty and cause me and my child so much pain.

Simonjt · 05/08/2024 11:57

Racists, it would help with over population too.

Gingerbreadloony · 05/08/2024 11:57

Chronic illness. Makes 90% of daily life an absolute drag.

Maia77 · 05/08/2024 11:58

My DH's Stage 4 cancer which is incurable. And he will die too young.

Nothing else in life matters apart from health.

Yes. Pulling it now before it goes to seed. Goats will eat some of it but get fed up after a while as it is quite bitter gor them and they want a change.

Laundry, also having to cook dinner every night (and lunch during school hols)

Agree 👏

elliejjtiny · 05/08/2024 12:03

I'm with you on the laundry OP. It's easier in the summer to get it set but there is still so much of it.

GoldenRetrieverBert · 05/08/2024 10:25

OCD

Same here. I could take on anything, everything else without it.

I was about to post and say cancer, but mine is treatable.

I wish you both strength, as much time as possible, and peace. 💐
