Anyone else having a crap day

[OnNaturesCourse]

and need somewhere to chit chat...

Come on in, I'll put the kettle on.

DP and I had a bit of a falling out last night, and I'm still feeling resentful today. Hate days like this. Especially when he seems to be acting like nothing happened.

Oh Dear... We did that with our big storage (junk) cupboard recently. Spent weeks tripping over things as DP never had the time. 🤪 I eventually lost it after tripping over it for the 100th time and packed the lot, plus our DC, into my TINY car and went to the skip.

We have new Neighbour's, they've just plugged their stereo in and my whole house vibrated. This is not going to be good ...

Oh... Do they seem to be the partying type?

Adding to my fantastic day. Anyone know how to handle tantrums from a 9 month old?! 😩 Proper throwing the head back, kicking and screaming, lashing out type tantrum!

I feel very strongly like today needs to be my last day on earth. My daughter would get a lot more love away from me. I'm done

Powerless - what's made you feel this way? 😔

Oh powerless are you okay? You can see from this thread we are all having a rubbish time of it at the moment for so many different reasons. You aren’t alone x

Powerless

@flyingsaucersherbet Oh I know I'm not. I'm just being honest on an anonymous forum. I can't be honest about it in real life because there isn't anyone to be honest to! Quite literally nobody.

I'll be fine. Sadly, I'll live. Thanks x

Thank Christ, it's not just me then. Sick toddler, sick baby... I'm over it.

The worst part is that I'm finding it so hard to settle the baby, even before she got sick - I've had to hand her over to DH every night for the last two weeks. After the doctor looked the baby over today, she handed her back to me and as ever, the baby immediately cried. The doctor said, "Ooh, she's allergic to Mummy!" It was possibly THE worst thing she might have said to me, given I'm already paranoid about her crying on me all the time.

I've been advised to feed pumped milk rather than BF and all I can think is, I can't feed her myself, I can't settle her myself... What AM I good for? I'm usually pretty good with seeing past the bad days but I'm totally stuck tonight. Stop the world, I want to get off!

@powerless hugs lady, hang in there

for you powerless.
Isn't it strange how we can all vent online to compete strangers but the people we know IRL haven't got a clue...

Well maybe they were just testing their speakers volume so let's see. But those kind of beats are meant to be played loud.

Oh no Tantrums should be ignored once you've checked they're safe and can't hurt themselves. Ignore, ignore, ignore and if a kind lady brings them to you because you've left them tantrumming in the supermarket aisle as she thinks they're lost smile politely whilst cursing under your breath that they weren't fucking lost and you knew where they were all the time because you could hear them screaming that they want chocolate for the millionth time.

Cali... That last bit made me laugh.

I've given in. Strapped DC into the car and went a drive. Ended up at the shops. The car trip always seems to settle them. It also means I won't be home when DP gets in so less likely I'll murder him for his couldn't care less / what's the problem attitude... And the shop has chocolate.

@powerless how are you doing honey.

Oh I’m fine. I’m not going to do anything I’m just depressed with where I’m living and as a result I’m not being the best Mum I can be :( x

I should be happy as we move house on Friday (after a long wait) and I'm 36 weeks pg (FTM) but I'm just sitting here in my pants, sweating again as it's so humid, and I haven't packed up any of the clothes I told DH I would do today. Instead I lifted and rolled up a big rug and some furniture in the hall which I know was too heavy and I shouldn't have done it. Why do I make life so difficult for myself?!

Fed-up. I was exactly the same when I was pregnant, it was almost like I subconsciously didn't want to admit I couldn't or shouldn't do things.

Anyone's day get better?
DH (read as Dickhead Husband) appeared home 30minutes early without telling me (after telling me he was going to be late!) so I made tea later which made DS be up later which resulted in us both (me&DS) having meltdowns and me having to bath and feed him whilst trying to eat my freezing cold food.... Currently sat on said child's floor as he fights sleep because the little love got a second wind

Aww WooYa that's terrible, I bet DH got his dinner at least warm too.

My DP has appeared home, acted like nothing has happened but is full of 'what can I do?' 'do you need help?' 'ill do X for you' etc so is clearly hoping being extra nice and helpful this one night is going to avoid further argument.

Hes full of helpfulness but has achieved ZILCH since being home other than making his (from the freezer) dinner as my silent tantrum included not cooking and taking DC and myself out for food. He takes FOREVER to do the simplest of tasks that I've ushered him away from anything I've asked him to do as I can do it quickest and moan a lot less about it (out loud lol)

So I'm basically no further forward but have acquired a hopeless wannabe butler.

Not such a shit day today but I know I'm going to have one tomorrow, got to get up at the crack of dawn to travel across the country for a meeting which I know is going to be really confrontational. I hate confrontation. And I'm 8 weeks pregnant, feeling like shit and generally just want to hibernate.

I've got a ball of dread in my stomach.

Breathe and remember we love them sometimes
DH was genuinely sorry though... after I held a screaming DS to his face and said 'here.'

I'm just counting down the days until I go back to work then I can relax

Muminmanchester take deep breaths and try to stay calm. I hate confrontation too - I tend to get angry then cry take something with you (book, puzzles, music) that can help distract you and take a treat for afterwards x

God yes.

Days holiday from worm yesterday and someone on my team managed to piss off the head of the company.. and damage the department reputation. So I've had it fully in the neck all day. Plus I've got cramp and the teenagers are being shits. And I want Chinese food but I'm dieting...

That moan felt good...thanks op

I hate any type of meetings, I struggle in social situations so I really sympathise with you MumInManchester.

I'm feeling better DC is giving DP complete HELL with the bedtime routine and I'm slightly enjoying overhearing the struggle. A little taste of my day for him. Does that make me a bad person 😔

I feel so sick with pregnancy i genuinely think I might throw up on the boardroom table if they're mean to me, all my reserve strength will go out the window!

Hope everyone else's days/ weeks get better...
