Would you be willing to admit

[Samtsirch]

This is intended to be lighthearted so I apologise if anyone is upset or offended.
I just wondered if anyone would be willing to admit to something which really upsets them about the lockdown situation, whilst also being very aware of how petty and selfish it is in light of the widespread suffering and the seriousness of the whole awful situation ?
For example, I am so thankful for everything I have atm and am doing as much as I can to help neighbours and friends, but I am absolutely gutted that Eastenders/ The Archers won’t be on so often, and also that I am about to run out of my industrial strength cover up foundation, which I used to buy at my local chemist and doesn’t seem to be available online..😟

I'm gutted I cant get my eyebrows waxed. I'm hoping by the time the saloon is back open I dont have a monobrow
I'm shit at doing eyebrows so a 3 weekly wax is my treat that makes me feel feminine. I dont really feel I can grab wax strips in the supermarket in this current climate.

I'm sad that my kids won't get to meet their baby cousin until she is a toddler.

I'm also sad that my four year old now, whenever we explain that yet another thing (clubs, performances, trips to the beach, visits to grandparents) won't happen, says "it's because of the coronavirus".

@ALemonyPea I am disappointed, I quite liked the idea that you needed your eyebrows cut, blow dried and styled every 2 or 3 weeks :D

Am upset can't get a haircut.

Am weirdly intrigued by seeing some TV presenters who've done their own hair and make up and how different they look.

I'm sad about how lonely I'm going to be.
I'm really annoyed at having to pay for heating my place all day and not having a proper environment to work in.
I'm annoyed at the inactivity and how I'm going to put on weight.
Annoyed at missing out on going away at Easter.
I'm also worried about getting CV or giving it to anyone else of course.

Finally felt like I have my life on the right path then boom- Armageddon

I feel disappointed for my son that he won't be able to go on his first overnight residential with school. He was reluctant to go as he still wears a pull up at night (he's in Year 3) due to a medical issue and was embarrassed about his classmates seeing it but his Headteacher assured us that there will be others in the same position and they deal with it very discreetly. Since then he's been so excited about it and now it's highly unlikely to happen.
Also, we've booked a family holiday that's been 5 years in the saving/planning. There's now a strong possibility that we won't be going.
Plus, I'm going to really need a haircut soon!

In the grand scheme of things they're really not important but still disappointing.

I can't see my boyfriend

I know it is a total first world problem, but I can't stop crying about it

That I can't take my son to get his first shoes fitted. He decided (months after his peers!) to start walking last week, and I have been really looking forward to this milestone.

I am also devastated he can't go to nursery and be the sociable, gregarious little boy he was born to be. We were so happy with the nursery and his development and I am scared what this period away from them (if they ever reopen) will mean in the long-term. I know its not GCSEs or A-levels (!) but he'll never get this time back .

-not getting my roots done
-not being able to put my toddler in nursery on Good Friday and have the day to myself
-my husband won't be able to come to our 12 week scan
-my toddlers clubs are off and we're driving each other bananas

However, it means my in laws can't turn up unannounced (although I'm yet to be convinced of this!!)

Sad that I can't see my boyfriend. Miss hugs and would love a massage for my bad back. Went to bed with a hot water bottle last night for comfort!

I had a family holding booked in centerparcs at Easter which has been cancelled.

I'm single and I'm massively envious of people who live with their partners because my irregular sex life is now non existent.

My divorce is on hold because my job is now vulnerable and this may affect the financial settlement. It has already been going on a year and I just want to be free of him.

I'm really lonely living alone and this is making it worse...

I'm gutted that I won't be able to see my FWB and have a shag

Princess, child development isn't my area of expertise and I know it will be upsetting but I don't think you should assume your DS won't become what he would have been based on a temporary situation given you'll still be with him.

I had a breast reduction and now 3 months later I cant go and buy a non sports bra, or wear a bikini round the pool this summer. I am really sick of sports bras, especially if the weather warms up as they are even harder to hide than my old bras!

I was overdue to have my chin, moustache and eyebrows threaded. Having got through the winter I thought I’d make an appointment. Then about 3 weeks ago I thought Wait a minute, this virus is getting scary. Now it’s totally out of the question. I’m also in the at-risk group, not the ultra high risk group, just the ‘on immunosuppressants and asthmatic’ set. Good thing, haha, no it really isn’t that good, I lead a very hermitic existence at the best of times - and I have nobody particular to miss except 2 of my 4 sons who are camping out at DS1’s tiny flat. DH and the other two are here. Anyway, now the days are brighter I’ll get out my tweezers and mirror and tidy myself up.

I am quite a solitary person & having DH (who usually works away a lot) & DS home from Uni is quite difficult compared to my lovely quiet days and evenings , of course I can’t really admit that. Have gone up to bed early to get some peace and quiet except that they are in the room underneath my bedroom and shrieking and laughing whilst playing a board game.

I had got through to be a detective in the police on a six month bank. I was told to stand by as they needed more, but training school is non-essential and the bank will probably expire before I can begin. I’ve worked so hard to build up my experience for this and, poof! Gone.
But I at least I still have a job as a key worker.

I’m miffed that my neighbours seem to be outside sunning themselves, kids happily enjoying them selves while parents organise and sort garden and shed. All normal and perfectly reasonable - not making undue noise or in any way impacting me.

But DH and I are WFH and trying to alternate home ’school’ which just isn’t going to cut the mustard. Feel like I’m failing them. today just feel a bit desolate.

I have it lucky in so many ways though....isolated with my family who are not in a vulnerable category, can WFH with jobs secure, my mum and bro taking it v seriously so self isolating and as ‘safe’ as they can be.

Anything that gets all the polluting killing machines off the road can’t be all bad.

We had booked to stay at CBeebies land, we never been before and the children were so excited.

We also won tickets to see Mr Men at the theatre which has been cancelled. My son won them for a maths competition he’s only five he’s really dissatisfied.

I'm seriously regretting giving up chocolate for lent...
a massive amount of chocolate would be a huge comfort in these uncertain times!

Not seeing my FWB for weeks / months. I am climbing the walls already.

It took me many, many months to save for a car to take my kids on days out. Paid the insurance upfront , filled the tank used nearly all my savings to buy it . I bought it last Monday and we then had to self isolate from wednesday. And probably wont be using it again for months. My OH was just laid off due to the coronavirus so the savings would have come in handy .

@Sammymommy I'll probably be able to do that to them after the 12 weeks
