To want to just be left the fuck alone??

[ButteredRadishes]

I'm ill, hot, ratty, all touched and needed out!

I'm trying to lie down for a bit in the cool bedroom, with instructions to "LEAVE ME ALONE, Mum is ill"

It's been 20 minutes, the child had been in twice, DH has been in asking where some random items are. Then DD wants a cuddle. I suggest he takes her swimming and it's ..." oh aren't you coming?/mummy I want you to come".

Just all fuck offffffff.

I'm going to have to go out in my own in a bit, just to stop them harassing meeeeee.

Careful, or you'll trip over your own halo.

Children need to learn that they aren't the centre of the universe or they grow up to be unbearable adults.This attitude may be why schools are such awful places currently and we have teachers leaving in droves.

My cat is usually either in the loo with me for No 1; or immediately guarding outside for No2, when I’d shut the door completely.

DS has a theory, that he recognises my 'vulnerability’ sitting on the loo, so, being the house-panther, he guards…🤔

... Oh come on, don't be ridiculous. The child can't be with me every moment she wants. Sometimes I'm allowed to have a shower alone, and yes #orry 5 year old, you can't come with me to the pub to see my friends...

Don't be ridiculous.

Wowsers, yo some sort of super martyr or something? Never go to bed when you're ill? Never need time alone?

I'm lying in bed, weak, fatigued, with a fever but actually I'm just being lazy? Righto...

If you can afford it and there's one near book a night in a B and B or Travelodge

Its not funny or cute of your husband to not let you rest. Its shitty behavioir

I had a word earlier and told him it's absolutely ridiculous that I am being disturbed, and be needs to step up. TBF he did. But I was so annoyed that I had to tell him this!

I’m glad you finally got your DH to step up, but you’re absolutely right you shouldn’t have to spell it out to him. Hopefully he’s learned for next time.
