That's it I'm done

[babasaclover]

Right that's it I'm done. I've been locked in this house since January. First due to health now Coronavirus. I'm done been positive and thankful for having a garden etc - i need to MOOOOOAAAAANNNNN.

Anyone else thoroughly fucked off with it all? Never thought I would miss work and mundane stuff.

Today wasn't bad at all: it finally rained, so people stayed home and the way was clear everywhere.

@sanealaddin yes. Just yes to literally EVERYTHING you've said!!!

dowser yes plenty of telly shouting going on in this house! :o the inane interviews, the inane questions asked by journalists about how some cute child or old lady or whatever has had a brilliant idea to cheer everyone up, oh FUCK OFF

Love this thread, you are all top quality moaners / coronamoaners, so here’s to you

Joining in in earnest. Fed up and utterly bored of it. Had so many things planned I was looking forward to. I get very insular and unhappy if I stay home for too long.

I'm bored and fed up, been furloughed and really struggling to fill the time with anything productive or useful! Trying to do an online course and some painting but end up sat on internet all day.

The weather's been lovely and I'm kicking myself that my bike is at my parents, who I obviously can't see for the foreseeable.

I was also about to get my hair cut and do some school shadowing to see if I would enjoy being a teacher as a career change, but now can't do either of those things!

@emmathedilemma right that's it. It's defo wine o'clock now you've started it would be rude not to join you 🥂🥂🥂

Nice one burrito fan 👍

Holy fuck I need in!
I'm a single parent of a 2 year old. I live at home with my parents and 4 siblings. All my siblings have been furloughed and just give me no peace. My dad is a mysoginistic shit and expects me to keep on top of the housework as soon as anyone makes a mess. I so tired cleaning up after a toddler, my brothers, trying to wfh full time, keep a toddler entertained. I've tried to move out but no one will let me till this is over 😭.

Oh good! A place to have a little vent!

I’m fed up! I’m fed up with people assuming teachers aren’t working because they can’t see what we’re doing and therefore are suggesting we need to work through our holidays as part of ‘pulling together’ or being ‘flexible’.

Right now I’m stressed out; struggling to work from home; looking after Key Workers children; making multiple phone calls a day to parents; creating lessons that can be done from home; writing reports etc etc

I’ve never felt more undervalued by society. I feel so pissed off.

No, I won’t be working through the summer holidays for free. I won’t be offering to look after anyone, I’m not a child minder. I will be putting my school work away and I will be focusing on my own family for the six weeks I wasn’t for every year.

I’m not contracted to work that time. I’m not paid to work that time. I’m not going to work that time and I’m fed up of hearing idiots suggesting that I should.

@burritofan that fucking sucks. If ever there is a time we need pizza and chips it's now!!!

HAve you thought about a worktop oven? My mum uses hers when just cooking odd thing to save turning her inefficient old oven on. Was about £60 from Argos - and they're still delivering

burritofan I'm not laughing at your shitty oven less situation.... But I must admit your post did make me laugh

Can I join in and moan. Know I am luckier than most but very fed up. Particularly after my husband via video call told me my life hasn’t changed that much. I’m home on maternity leave so in a sense things haven’t changed much. But at least before when the baby wouldn’t nap I could take him out in the pram as often and for as long as I needed. And baby groups to keep me sane. And when husband was away with work, like he is now, my mum could come round and give me a break. Honestly to all the single parents doing this day in day out you are amazing.

Time has no meaning any more. Everything is pointless. I’m bored and restless but lack the energy or motivation to do anything. I’m stuck home with 2 autistic children who I adore but one of which is very full on. My husband is working out of the house as considered key staff (though not frontline etc). I miss seeing real live people. I miss nattering with friends over a coffee and friends kids giggling and playing in my house. I miss hugging my nieces. I’m sad I can’t plan a holiday or exciting days out. I miss nice food and not stressing over trying to get deliveries. I also have awful ear/tooth ache and don’t even know what the current deal is with doctors or dentists and truthfully don’t want to go near them even if I can. I can’t see an end to this any time soon. Sigh. I’m thankful for our amazing nhs and that my husband has a job but I’m still fed up of this shit!

Thank you this thread actually really helps! It’s shit atm and being able to say it is therapeutic

I'm fed up today because I just found out we don't get the stimulus money we by rights should be receiving. We are in USA, my usband on a H1b visa and with a social security number. Our youngest son is an American citizen. Both those mean we should get $1,700... but because I am a h4 visa and I am on the tax returns we file each year, we get nothing. The republicans stipulated that if one of the adults on the tax return doesn't have a spxial number, the whole family gets nothing. Because they are so full of hate they wouldn't want a single child of an undocumented migrant receiving a penny, despute those kids being Americans.

It isn't about the money really. Yes, it would be very nice to pay off some debt with it. Especially as we paid $13k in taxes last year and as we get hardly any of that back each year despite the fact if we were American we would be getting most of it back. The thing that really upset me and had me so angry I was crying is that it makes me feel less than human. Worthless. Like I am so abhorrent to the people here that just my existence prevents my family from receiving what is rightfully theirs. My husband can't understand why I am so totally broken about this. He thinks it was money we knew not to expect so just a bummer, but no harm done. But to me, it is a huge deal. I am so sick of not feeling like a real person. I haven't been able to work or vote in 14 years. We've stuck to the rules. I don't even have health insurance as we can't afford it. This country sucks and if I get the virus and need hospitalising, we will lose our house in bills. If they even bother treating me at all.

Sorry to whine. But nobody in the real world understands how I feel right now.

I am fed up with it all- the patronising government messages, treating us like toddlers as a PP said, it feels emotionally manipulative, the endless speculation and 'what if's, the oddly competitive articles about taking up new hobbies etc when many people are just struggling to cope and e.g. get food and get through the day, missing places being open like the botanical gardens and swimming, being in a flat with no garden and teens who should be doing out with mates and to school, but instead are copped up with their parents with no end in sight. It is good to have a moan without being told off for it or made to feel guilty.

I love this thread, I was thinking I'm the only person feeling this way and beating myself because of it 💖

I really adore my lovely mum, who's in her 80s.

But if I have one more phone call with her when I hear about every time each of her neighbours has offered to bring her some stuff from the supermarket (which is obviously very kind of them), what they bought and the discussions she's had with them about it, I think I might scream. Who knew there were so many varieties of soda water? Or salt? But I know there are many more of these to come.

Also conversations with her about elderly people I don't know and what's happening with their shopping too.

Aaaagggghh.

I can just imagine..."oh give it a fucking rest Barbara" mid clap.

I hear you OP. Some days I’m ok and some, like today have been pretty poo. That afternoon glass of wine is getting earlier by the day

catloving doctor you have perfectly written what i feel. Trying to be positive but very hard am hating it and want my life back

God I'm sooooooo done .

I'm done with inventing jobs for myself to do.

I'm done with the endless cycle of domestic chores

I'm done with fucking kindles and switch and PlayStation and relentless asking about screen time. It's far easier to just let them play on it all day than deal with the incessant asking

I'm done with eating sugary crap and not even nice stuff, I'm talking dusty old biscuit bars found in the back of the cupboard that no one had wanted for years but hey, give it here, I'll eat it.

I'm done with every day having a new very mild symptom of CV and wondering if I have it and being anxious and no one else being bothered at all (to the point that they now call me Rona). I've had an intermittent tight throat and earache now for several weeks so if it was CV I'd be in a very sorry state by now. But then, what if it wasn't before, but now it's new????

I'm done with dh's ongoing commentary about what he's doing, what he is doing next, what he might do later.

I'm done with putting the kitten back in the goddamned lounge because kids run about willy nilly without a care that this tiny animal will escape and get eaten by wolves as she does around 28 million times a day

Phew that feels good

Ugh I'm in.

After a week off doing our garden, dh is going back to work next week and I'm back to fucking working from home with a 4 year old and a preteen. Which is basically fucking impossible unless I ignore the 4 year old and ask the tv to babysit, which then impacts on his behaviour.

I just don't think I can do it for the next 6-12 weeks.

I am itching to run into the empty school field near us and just scream. Then when I get back I'd like my house to be magically tidy.

PT working LP, no chance to ever tidy up as the mess is constantly being churned out. And I've mislaid the dc's bank account log in's which is extra doing my head in nonsense. So I'm looking in every nook and cranny hoping the paperwork turns up.

@Whenwillthisbeover that sounds absolutely the best day ever. I truly don't think I would be that bothered if I could just have five minutes alone. I'm trying to work from home and look after a toddler who screams when I go out of her sight, this has never happened before poor little mite probably one does what's going on. I would absolutely give anything for a stroll alone or even a supermarket visit.

We do have to cheers the good times 😁

I’m lonely. My husband is working from home but I don’t think he understands I don’t have anyone but him to talk to.
