I have had it up to here then some RANT ALERT

[EnoughAlready]

I have had enough, everyone has been ill all Christmas and New year, taking it in turns, and even when I have been crapping and chucking my guts up I have still had to fetch and carry for everyone else.
No one did much to help out with all the cooking, cleaning up etc.
Now today DS1 and DS2 are at each other, DP is still in bed "poorly" despite needing to pull his fecking finger out and sort out train tickets for TOMORROW as he is best man at a wedding , DS1 has not shut up all day, I know it is not his fault but I wish he would be quite for 5 fecking minuets,

I am trying to clean the house, there is no food left so I have to go to the shop, I need everything ready for back to school DS1 is already finding reasons not to go back (he is having a tough time there) we have just had a screaming fit over charging his new phone, yes I am his mother I am not his Fecking slave, I am sick yes SICK of having to give give give, do, do, do get, get, get,Will someone PLEASE take a little bit of responsibility for their bloody self, I have just banged my head off the door in desperation.
Right deep breath...........

Go out. I would

If you're not there to do it for them, they'll have to do it themselves. Isn't there some urgent errand you need to do out the house? With a coffee shop near the errand, where you might need to just have a little pitstop...

Leave a list tell him to ring when its all done, go to your friends for a cuppa then come home with the shopping.

I would love to go out, but can't leave the loo for more then 5 minuets, also my coffee drinking friend is away.

Little voice has just ask for lunch, DP came down half hour ago made himself lunch then fecked off again!!!!!!!!

Poor the milk and coffee/tea away, shake dp enough to wake him, tell him you are going to buy urgent essentials, would he like any man flu medication then run!

Seriuosly you need to get out for at least half an hour without an 'ill' man and children round your feet!

I know it doesn't help but I bet every mum on here has had at least one day like this over the hols. You have my sympathies.....

Oh you poor thing, x posts there sorry you can't go out! can you order a food shop for tomorrow and make do with what you have for the time being?

My DP will make his own food and nothing for ds too - it is extremely annoying. for you!

DP is not sleeping he is reading fecking READING in bed, he has already read one book and is on another!!!

I know I sound bitter and twisted but I am knackered, I have worse stomach cramps then when I was in labor and we are fast running out of loo roll (tmi sorry).
I have to go to the shops as I need pack lunches for tomorrow.
Also not my fecking head hurts!!!!

*now

Oh dear... Sorry. This would really annoy me too, and can't think of anything helpful. Hope you feel better soon!

Have it out with him. If he is able to come down and make his lunch he is not on his death bed. He is taking the mick and you need to tell him. I find men need an obvious, step by step practical plan. Almost like children. Don't bring emotions into it - just tell him he needs to go out of bed and do x,y and z for his family. Don't ask, tell.

I have told him that we ARE going to the supermarket if he does not come then I will max out his cards on GIN!!!
I have told him that if he does not sort out his travel for tomorrow then tough I am not doing it, and I added that I am never going to marry him as I have two children and don't need a 3rd!

Have put small pizza type things left over in freezer from Christmas in oven for children's lunch, and have just put last load of washing in that makes 4 loads today, (bedding and towels mostly from Xmas guests).

For some reason I think I might go finish the advcaat.

Also DP says "when I said I was worn out from working all holiday" that as I don't work outside the home and he does it's his holiday.

Someone come and hide the sharp things please....

I tell my dp we will not get a day off until youngest is 18, thus reminding him we are both parents regardless of our occupations/salaries.

DP is not their dad, so i guess he has less to do with the child care then I do.
I have phoned their dad and he is coming to take me shopping after work.

I think I will get a full time job outside the house, that lets see who will do the school run, washing, cooking, cleaning, garden, shopping,running of errands etc etc etc

Why are you with him??? Is it his house?

Sorry - but I must be missing something here!

I agree with you though - don't even think of marrying him.
