I’m quietly sulking because ds ordered me the wrong pizza. Not only did it have mushrooms on it he ordered it with cheese sauce on the base rather than standard tomato pizza sauce. It was like eating a carbonara sandwich.

I didn’t want ds to feel bad so told him it’s not a problem but now he’s away in his room I’m being sulky and petulant and not letting DH cheer me up with dessert offerings from the freezer 🤣

I'm sulking because both my children are ill with a bug and I haven't slept a full night sleep in a while and my house is a disgusting state. So I'm scoffing chocolate on the sofa.

Im sulking because im pregnant and want one of them Dubai pistachio chocolate bars. I see it in the shop 25 mins away and it was £5 and I thought god what a rip off. Ever since I've craved it so bad! So bad id pay £20 right now!!! Sent DP back to that shop..it was out of stock😭😭he tried another that apparantly have them and it was also out of stock. He tried to suprise me by buying pistachio cream and chocolate bars so I could make my own..lovely of him right!! But he didn't know it had kataifi in bless him so I'm crying while his on his way home and will make it without because I feel so bad to tell him when he thinks his done something so kind (he has!!) it just won't be remotely the same without the kataifi😢

He just walked through the door with a huge bouquet of roses, the things to make the pistachio bar (minus the kataifi😂) , a McDonald's because my dinner came out crap, and a big box of Ferrero rochers. I feel guilty for crying now!🤣🥹

The worst possible stalemate!

I had similar. I left it too late to go to bed so was stuck on the sofa too tired to move, contemplating all the steps required to get myself into bed.

BalladOfBarry · 15/11/2024 22:38

We've got no chocolate in the house. None.
And the only crisps are prawn cocktail flavour.
This is bad and I am sulking.

Cameroptera · 15/11/2024 22:39

I'm sulking and feeling very sorry for myself that I have yet another bad cold/unidentified lurgy, I haven't felt well for more than a handful of days since early October. Getting fed up of it now

I'm silently punishing my DH because he's forgotten I had a healthcare appointment today that I've been waiting 2 years for.

Nothing life threatening, doesn't have a major impact. But he's not bothered to remember or ask how it went.

I'm stupidly not reminding him. I'll probably go to bed early and he'll wonder what on earth he's done wrong. Poor bloke.

That’s my kind of petty sulking. I would generally wait until we’re in company and when some else asks me how it went I’ll be “oh thank you so much for asking” whilst giving DH the side as the penny drops.

I'm a bit sulky as my DH hasn't remembered it the anniversary of my dad's death, I'm a bit sad on the run up running over the days as it was during Covid and pretty awful. So I'm in a fairly low mood and he's just gone down the pub and not really even noticed me or my mood.

I may have to just tell him as I would like some support.

I'm also sulking about not having time to myself recently, life is a bit busy and every time i try and be a bit selfish and book a spa day etc my plans don't work and I'm skint!

Oh that’s not sulky. I’m so sorry about your dad you should definitely tell your DH and ask for some support.

My capped tooth is doing my head in. Suddenly feels really sensitive and painful when I try and eat anything hard. Had a dental appointment just a few months back and all was fine so it makes no sense. It's making me stroppy.

I am currently being pathetic about the fact that the hot water bottle is upstairs (and cold) and I am downstairs (and cold).

I am sulking about the fact that I don't want to get up, go put the kettle on, fetch the hot water bottle and fill it. But I don't want to be cold either.

Currently I'm at stalemate with myself.

My tale of woe is similar. I lit a lovely fire which is keeping my right side toasty, to my left however is a draft coming under the door, the draft excluder is upstairs in DDs bedroom as it's dog shaped and she likes playing with it. I am half warm, half cold and the warm half of me is unwilling to get up and retrieve 'long dog' from DDs toy pile. The two halves of my body have reached a stalemate.

To be fair OP that is definitely sulk-worthy! Sounds revolting! You should accept the freezer treats though!

I'm in a sulk with God/the universe/karma/whatever because I'm 'between jobs' so feeling hard-up while really needing the money at the moment. I've had a couple of job offers but I'm being fussy and holding off for something 'perfect' and am cross that the universe isn't recognising this and delivering it!

It really was revolting I mean I’ve heard of bbq base sauce instead of tomato but who wants cheese sauce topped with more cheese!

I spontaneously left my job to go freelance and well it’s been a slow start and really need some work to come in soon!

Because despite keeping me up all night last night (genuinely no sleep) my newborn is showing no signs of tiredness. And when my parents came over to help, my body wouldn’t let me nap. I hate my body.

I thought I'd be the only one with a hot water bottle sulk.

Kettles died, freezing apartment, waiting for water to boil on the stove so I can then pour it into the kettle and then into the hot water bottle. Twice. One to hold, one at my feet.

It's such an old house they'll get cold in an hour I don't know why I bother.

I hope this make you feel better @Hatty65 😂

Sorry to hear about your Dad, it's an especially tough time to lose a family member I found.

I hope you can spell it out to your husband and get some time to breathe and grieve x

greenrollneck · 15/11/2024 21:41

@Gazelda how did it go?

It went ok, thanks. Physio should help, although not cure.

Sorry to hear that it's a difficult time of year for you. I hope he gives you a spontaneous hug when he gets home later.

Any chance you can slip out over the weekend to sit on a park bench with a hot choc and a book? Or just people watch? A bit of stillness might be a tonic for you.

Crispynoodle · 15/11/2024 23:00

My 3 adult DDs are bickering because they all want to come here for Xmas (so they have nothing to do themselves) but one won't come if my adult DS is coming because they argued over something 7 years ago. Actually I've done with sulking! I've told them it's all or nothing! And one of them can tell their brother why no one is coming. I'm planning some winter sun with the cash I will save

Buttercup198 · 15/11/2024 23:01

No sulking today just reading everyone elses

VegTrug · 15/11/2024 22:26

I'm sulking because I'm lonely. I've no friends, no family and due to my health I'm stuck indoors quite a lot. Plus DD has chicken pox so I haven't even had the interaction of the school run to keep me going. (The school run is the most/often the only adult interaction I get! How sad is that?!)

I hope your DD and you are doing ok. Not much fun when they have chicken pox.

gillefc82 · 15/11/2024 23:03

@BeMintBee I despise mushrooms! Why would you eat fungus?!! 🤮 Never mind your righteous sulking…..this is LTB territory for me!! 😂
