Anyone else have Xmas steam to let off?? What's making you rage?

[Thisnamechanger]

I cannot find my SIL present anywhere.
I'm very late leaving for DFs.
I'm cooking tonight.
My pets are furious with me.
No one else seems to want to help.

Anyone else need to let of some steam about anything?

I'm so sorry Girlicorne you and your children deserve better. Massive hug.

Listening to dh attempting to assemble ds2 gift. I advised him to do it weeks ago. I advised him to do it today. Now he's in a fouler muttering and moaning.

I've made a cake and nothing else of use because... I don't know?? I'm annoyed OH didn't put together the presents for his family I suggested he start making a MONTH ago knowing what he's like. This is the second year running. And obvs it makes me look bad even though it should be his responsibility. Bitchy MIL's on boxing Day too, bleeerh.

Oh well, I love my christmas eve cake.

slownorris he's quietly doing slow nibbling so am going to take the chance and leave them alone bin the dark and warm for the night.happy Xmas everyone x

First Christmas without my mum, trying to be kind to my dad but finding in return he is being massively self centred and doesn't notice that I am grieving as well as him. Instead I am just here to make cups of tea, answer questions and clean up after him.

I have pmt and am super grumpy. Just want to hide in bed until it's all over.

Not knowing what day I'm due back at work - according to one manager, Thursday, another Friday.

My siblings are snakes and I don't trust them.

One of my children’s grandparents live just ten minutes away from us. They never bother to visit the children. Not even a card. I think that is pathetic.

I'm annoying myself as I've gone into my holiday sleep pattern - nap all day and awake at night and DS is working breakfast shifts so will be up early tomorrow

We've got loads of family staying and TBF I've had lots of help in the kitchen. But MIL decided to go to the 'early' church service which was 1.5 h long so we didn't sit down to eat until 8pm and then she wanted to make the kids special hot chocolate and then they needed to shower so they didn't go to bed until 10pm and so I've only just got to bed now and will be up again at 6am. Roll on boxing day.

Just opened my only Christmas present.

A steam mop.

My sister, who I come to for Christmas to support her (I'd truly rather be alone), texted me Friday to ask if I could get a specific biscuit. She lives pretty rurally so if the shops she can go to don't have it, it's a real way to try somewhere else.

I was very busy Sat, had a friend staying, needed to buy some lights and get them fitted, had to do loads of prep stuff and was out that night quite early.

But, I went out of my way and got them. Texted her to tell her I had. She texted back balloons.
Got to hers Sunday. Dragged all my bags in, coat, boots, all the gifts etc. It was pouring with rain, getting to her front door is irritating and it's pitch black, I'd been driving for over four hours.....
She asks where the biscuits are. So I say oh, I've left them in the car because when I bought them yesterday I put them in the car and I didn't take them out again to make sure I didn't forget them, but they're on the back seat, not in the boot with the bags, so I didn't remember to bring them in.
Next day, she goes shopping and comes back with a bag of these biscuits. I ask why she bought them when she knows I've got them. She said just in case I didn't really have them.

Honestly, she makes me feel like I'm some sort of imbecile. If she was that worried why not just ask if she can bring them in, or for ne to check I've def got them or something.

My nephew was with her and he says she asked him if she was being insabe to get them and he says he told her she was.

I played safe and got two bags, so we now have three bags.

Thanks, OP. I need to vent.
I've taken the family on holiday. A beautiful hotel.
All DH has done is moan about the travel agent, disappeared for hours with the room key, block the loo (and call housekeeping to literally clean up his crap). I am raging.

This morning at breakfast he was talking SO loudly the whole room could hear him. I asked him to lower his voice. He's off in a huff. He was talking to a little girl who had come to say hello to DS. DH was bellowing, little girl was talking non stop. Too much going on. Then she took DS's new cap off his head and I could see that didn't go down well. So I asked her to go and find her mummy and daddy.

Now I look like the bad guy.

TBH I don't think I can holiday with DH any more.

I’m raging at my fucking womb. Bastarding period pains. I’ve taken high dose co-codamol but I’ve got 3 hours before I can take more and the pain relief has worn off.

Everyone is happily sleeping, presents under the tree, stockings out, all is well and we had a lovely relaxed day but now I’m going to be fucking knackered all Christmas Day as it’s impossible to sleep! Haven’t had pains this bad in years.

I’m wide awake despite being so tired I could cry. It’s been the shittiest year and I just can’t find it in me to give a fuck about Christmas. DS1 is struggling too after everything he has been through. We have all the grandparents here so I will have to be all bright and merry in the morning. My brother and his wife turned down our invitation for Christmas as their dog can’t be near Lego. Apparently we could have gone there and the children having Lego at their house would have been fine. It’s over 2 decades since they accepted an invitation to ours for Christmas.

Almost done cooking the main meal (Xmas meal is 24th in family). Stupid H opens crisp multi pack with kids on sofa ffs.

Live at home for various reasons including being my mums main carer and my own MH issues. My dads done literally nothing in the run up to christmas, no tidying, cooking, shopping except to buy my mum presents which are actually for him. I struggle at christmas and hes made it worse, as not only has he not done anything hes tried arguing for a good 6+ hours a day

Want to kill one of my friends who called last night after I had fallen asleep with a gift (I know that sounds ungrateful), let me explain, I take a load of meds at night and they help me to sleep.

This was 2 hours into sleep and she had a few drinks in her so even after I tried not to wake myself up fully cos I knew sleep would be gone altogether she carried on talking away loudly and telling me how she loves me.

So as she went out of the door after 20 mins of very loud talking, I was now wide awake and haven't been able to sleep anymore. I was trying to keep her low so my system wouldn't wake up fully, not a chance.

I am probably going to conk out tomorrow afternoon cos no sleep and when I mean conk out, I will physically hit the floor.

I have visitors coming for dinner so am now going into energy conservation mode as when I hit conk out, my body gives out altogether and my carers will end up caring for me while Im bedbound over the following days.

So thanks for that my friend I want to fn kill you,

My youngest autistic child woke up at 12.30. So I’ve had the grand total of two hours sleep again. She has been up again all night. So I’ll be expected to be sweetest and light when we go to my mother’s who will moan that I’m not hosting/cooking Christmas lunch. Despite not expecting her to (I don’t care about Christmas lunch and I’m not a brilliant cook) and my brother offering to cook apparently it should be me with the three kids (two who have autism and one of which never sleeps).

PIL’s are staying with us and have been stomping around since 5am deliberately trying to wake the kids up! That’s after snoring all night so I’ve had very little sleep.

DH let the cat in but didn’t feed it so cat jumped all over the beds.

By some miracle the youngest DC is still asleep but of course I’m bloody wide awake now!

My kids, but the oldest mainly have been thoroughly horrific all week. I have them week on week off with their arsehole dad. No amount of telling gets me anyway, I'm sick of the sound of my own voice, every effort is gone to and every plan made has essentially been ruined.

DP has been getting right on my nerves.

I have spent absolutely thousands during the last month. I have bought and done everything for everybody. I have made so much effort. I paid £150 and arranged to take us and BIL family Ice skating - disaster, waste of time and money and wish I'd just taken my lot. DP ended up getting so angry at them all he booked and taxi and went home with the baby.

I've paid for and bought all the food Christmas (me and DP and baby decided to stay home alone as we don't have our other kids until Boxing Day) yet his mum (whom we are staying with) decided that as I'd been to get veg and I bought this and I bought that on my 6am trip to Sainsbury's on Christmas Eve that when she did the big shop for Boxing Day (last minute as per) she just wouldn't bother getting ANY veg, or this,or that yet I only bought stuff with regards to mine and dps day, not for hosting all of her family for Boxing Day!!! (I'd have done the shop if she'd asked but she didn't say nothing and I'm sick of offering as she's rude as hell)

The baby is really poorly with an awful cough and cold. One which I now feel like I have.

Me and DP had an almighty row yesterday and the day with totally ruined. I've looked forward to christmas all month and have made so much effort, what for?

Mil has now decided to cook meat over night to take to BIL tomorrow and I know I will now have to spend Christmas morning cleaning up the fucking mess and washing up in order to cook our dinner!!!!

Oh and I haven't been able to watch a single Christmas film that I want to watch and it's making me really upset!

OH!!!!

And I've suddenly decided that every gift I've bought is rubbish, I haven't bought the children the right things and they might be disappointed as well as DP and just generally feel poor, exhausted and like a failure all rolled in to one!

'D'H is still breathing. He was an absolute arse yesterday afternoon when he came home from work and started his nastiness pretty much straight away.
This resulted in an argument and both kids disappeared upstairs.
I have put so much effort into thinking about presents, buying presents and wrapping them all and this is what I get in return.
He even had the cheek to say I won't let him buy any presents!!!! HE NEVER BOTHERS!!! I should be so happy because my DS is home from uni but after three hours sleep, I just feel so exhausted and deflated.
And I've got to tolerate twatting H for two sodding days
