Kids are driving me mad.

[MrsBubsDeVere]

I am totally fed up this afternoon and in need of a rant.

I am getting aches and pains and suspect that af is going to make an appearance soon, so I feel tired.

The kids are just being complete and utter ratbags, I went upstairs earlier to have 10 minutes away from them and put them a dvd on, within a couple of minutes they were pestering me, banging about screaming and shouting etc. We haven;t been able to go out today as our driveway and the street is like an icing rink, Ive seen 2 people fall today already.

I have put up with them now for 24/7 for the past couple of weeks, dh has been working overtime, yes, the money will come in handy, but surely i deserve a break, he should have had 11 days off over christmas and new year and so far he has worked the lot. When I try and tell him, he just huffs and puffs and says either 'that's kids for you', or 'I'm at work, what am i supposed to do', which doesn't help.

I am sat here feeling thoroughly miserable with tears in my eyes.

Sorry you're having a rough time MrsBDV - wish I could shake that useless H of yours sometimes, I really do.

Dress them up warmly with boots on and let them go skating! Lock the doors, make a coffee and come back to Mumsnet!

He seems to think he is doing the best thing by working all the time, but he doesn't realise how it is for me, one of the worst bits is doing his meal, it is very very rare that i cook something for him that he doesn't complain about.

That is all going to change in the new year, I am starting the Paul McKenna diet to try and lose 10 stone and I will not bee eating after 6pm and there is no way I am going to do mine and kids teas and my own, clear up and then start again on his, if he hate a proper meal at work instead of a packet of biscuits he wouldn't be so hungry.

hi hun, sorry your having a shit time lately, my dp is the same he works 24/7, dd is driving me mad too she is currently watching cebbebies!! to give me some peace, hey im starting bug diet in the new year i need to lose 7 stone so ill be here if you need support,

{{{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}} hugs for you hun xxxx

Poor u. MrsBDV. Whats 'af' by the way?

It stands for Auntie Flo - means your period.

I found that quite funny actually as DH has an auntie called Flo and she is very grumpy!

LOL Ah silly me!!

My DH also works long hours and I don't cook seperately for him. Definitely stop that! I cook for me and the kids and DHs portion is plated up for him to reheat when he gets in. If he doesn't eat it that night, it gets put in the freezer and he takes it to his office freezer and he has it for lunch one day.

Sorry your kids are playing up, can you ask some friends round as that may keep the boredom at bay?

I do that too for my DH! His work mates are quite jealous sometimes when he produces home cooked meals in tuperwares to heat up in the microwave for lunch!!

Hehehehe, same here, DH produces lovely home cooked fare from wifey as they are tucking into their manky sandwiches from the Spar up the road

Great minds and all that!

THanks, good to konw that i won't be on my own when i decide to stop cooking separate meals for him, thing is he wouldn't even take it to work, so its not worth me making him anything.
