Remind myself that the teacher is always hardworking, discerning and well intentioned; that my kids are brats and I'm an over-entitled mum

Thedogscollar · 17/12/2024 05:30

Hate your MIL even if she's lovely this will ensure you don't have to see her too often.

Every illness requires to be seen in A&E just incase.

All teachers and NHS workers are greedy and should be reminded it's a vocation and you chose it.

Ensure your parents have left you everything in their will because that's your entitlement.

Batch cook. It's the answer to all woes. Broke? Exhausted? Overwhelmed by work, housework, children, relationship issues, religious mania...?

Batch cook a bolognese to put in the freezer, it'll make all your cares seem lighter

I'm not even being sarcastic

Get a cleaner, then sack the cleaner for daring to have a drink of water.
Kick out your child as soon as they turn 18.

Fizbosshoes · 17/12/2024 07:06

I can't believe you've neglected any sign of hygeine

Have a shower or wash at least 3 times a day
Wash clothes after 3 hours of wear
Wash towels and bedding at least daily
but not in the same Wash as underwear

Train your nose to detect and judge fellow workers/commuters who arent following the above schedule!

THERAPY because your DH sneezes too loud also report anyone at work who is laughing with a member of the opposite sex (cos they must be shagging)

Complain that we have no money left at the end of the month cos we only earn 150k each, then posters encourage you to write down all your outgoings so they can nitpick at it.....instead of telling you to get a fucking grip...
