To ask what your biggest problem in life is at the moment

[naturalcrackle111]

New bathroom needed
dh needs a car

The house is a fucking mess (I dont mean a little bit of mess - I mean I can't get on top of it and we have too much stuff). I feel like crying about it daily.

Totally ignoring that I'm having doubts about long term compatibility with DH. Going to waste my life unsuccessfully trying to tidy the house, then go through a messy divorce when the real problem can't be avoided any longer.

I have triple negative breast cancer, single mother to sen teen with health problems

some of the replies on this thread have got me checking my privilege too. Sending huge love to those who are dealing with so much.

A hideous divorce from an xh who has suddenly developed a debilitating injury that stops him working, but not going to the gym. And whose self employed earnings have halved last tax year, and probably more so far this year.

My ds 13 who is massively acting out due to said divorce and terrible relationship with his father. But is generally absolutely fine for me.

A stressful job in an ailing company.

Poor health, probably caused by all of the above.

Bad posture

Adult son caught in nightmare struggle of addiction and the sledgehammer effect for all concerned.
Tmi to share here but it is a living nightmare for me

Anxiety, due to too many people trying to take me for granted and my brain finally saying no.

Both parents in rapidly failing health, took my mum to a hospital appt yesterday, first time we had to put her in a wheelchair.
Decline has really accelerated since Easter. I dont live close so shattered running up and down the country every week. My brother has really stepped up thankfully but he's a bit lost with the services side of things

That's not a first world problem. Having to stay in a job that is seriously effecting your health because you cant afford it otherwise definitely qualifies as a problem . A first world problem is having to reduce down to one holiday a year.

That my DH has ruined everything by having an affair, which he now seems to be massively regretful about, loves me and wants to make it work. I don’t, but I have children with additional needs which makes leaving very hard.

My 3 year old son has severe chronic eczema which he's now been on Methotrexate since 1st Feb. Kills me everyday I can't make it better for him. He also has a peanut allergy which is petrifying and global delay so quite challenging behaviour at times..
But he and his brother are my absolute world so we'll get through it together x

This post is really misplaced given the very distressing circumstances people have been posting about.

Mine is dealing with the aftermath of my husbands affair, and divorce, finances, house move etc

Seeing extreme pettiness on Mumsnet. Honestly, give your head a wobble 🙄

Too many variables that I have no control over (work, 4DC and a voluntary commitment that is increasingly time consuming and I need to give up
but am struggling to as there’s no one else to do it). Feel that I am doing nothing properly but can’t find any more time in the day.

Always feeling guilty for not doing stuff properly and particularly concerned that DC will suffer.

Also seem to have multiple people offloading their problems onto me but no one is really interested if I’m not useful to them.

Really need to sort it out and get some time off but too knackered to do so!

Hoping that seeing it written down will give me the push I need.

Much sympathy to those of you who are going through so much worse.

Sorry to hear this. It was the same for my son. Homeschooled for 2 years then finally aporoved for special needs schooling. But no place so we have been waiting for 2 years😒. It's relentless.

Hopefully you feel better now, getting that off your chest.

I've come off a temporary promotion and need to tell dh that how we split our finances isn't working now. To which he will reply a) do you need me to up the money I transfer to you each month? b) what bills or outgoings can I pick up instead? or c) offer to do both of those. But I have been putting off telling him for a month or so now, Im short of money and it's my own making. I've never been able to discuss things that worry me.

This really is the most tone deaf post someone could put on here, how completely thoughtless

On a lighter note to parents ill health, I have a bumper crop of black and redcurrant taking up a whole freezer. Going to have to make jam
And too many cucumbers

My job and my health 🫠😬

DH has stage 5 kidney failure and is going to have his catheter put in for dialysis tomorrow.

Wrong forum? I think you were aiming for Pedants' Corner.

Sending much love to all of you out there, struggling.

My petty little worries are now in complete perspective (and I feel slightly guilty about worrying about them at all). But I suppose it's all subjective isn't it?

Narc DB causing trouble and division in the family. Instead of being accountable for his actions which have caused extreme hurt, he is blaming everyone else.

Helping elderly DM over 3 hours away try to sort out her Power of Attorney and trying to get DF to do the same.

Tired of my work environment and control freak, micromanaging line manager who replaced lovely previous boss who retired , waiting for new boss to start in a few months time but ultimately I need to get out and find a new job....but there aren't that many suitable ones around at the moment and the ones that are never get back to me
