Fair enough, it’s fairly similar here ! My primary age daughter was completing an art project earlier this week, a volcano to be exact. Paint, glue, general mess everywhere. He came down to make a coffee ( he’s working in the spare room) saw all the crap everywhere and me trying to clear it away and said ‘ I think I’ll come back’ . Yeah, don’t offer to help will you.

Okay obviously I am fuming now, I blame his mum for pampering him.
He had a virtual cooking class at work last night and right after he is done, he just left without cleaning up. The first thing he did was to pull out his laptop and start gaming. He said he will clean before bed, because we have an open plan flat, I can’t stand seeing messy kitchen so I cleaned it instead. Then I also put away the clothes while he is sitting there gaming!
I was so angry this morning and confronted him. His defence was he has a stressful week at work, he worked from 9-12am on a few days. And he said because my workload is not as heavy as his, so I should be doing it.
I don’t think other dudes can get away with responsibilities like this. I blame it on his mum, every time he goes home to his home country, his mum will follow him with food...like he was starved in the UK lol

So ladies and gentlemen, raise your kids by instilling the value of shared responsibility and cleaning up after yourself, take like 5 min.

Okay rant over.

Right, one time I said can you clean the toilet (so he went in and literally cleaned the toilet bowl only) because apparently I didn’t say bathtub, sink or use the correct term which is BATHROOM.

yeah totally agree with this , I am not married but looking at my parents (who have always both worked and my mum is very feminist) it is only recently (i.e. since retirement) that my dad even learned to use the washing machine or where any cleaning products etc were! I probably will never have children but if I did I would instill this in them whether girls or boys!
I am pissed off by (yet another) issue in my building, the intercom has gone down, i was waiting for a delivery, of course had no idea when it arrived and the post office make no effort to get in another way.... the place to collect it is open 3 days a week and is in a really awkward place to get to . great.

I hate this, and ever since I read articles on unpaid labour in the home it makes me angrier. Some men really do think it’s a woman’s job to pick up after them and it’s not good enough to want to be prompted (that’s really galling), just f*cking do it! Or I’ll invoice you 🙂

I’m really pissed off at my little “wants to climb the ladder, not speaking to you if you’re not a director” boss. Answer my emails you utter f*cking slimeball. If he doesn’t agree to a raise at my next review I’m offski.

My know-it-all, pain-in-the-arse, sister-in-law. She's just hideous. Whenever we do or buy anything, she's an expert on that, or has a "friend" who had an experience with it (always negative, and I highly doubt all these "friends" actually exist). We had a small family lunch together (which is fine restriction-wise where I am), and whenever the conversation would shift away from her to someone else, she'd shift it back again. She's rude, obnoxious and just leaves me feeling itchy. We couldn't get rid of her - everyone else started leaving after a couple of hours but she stayed until late afternoon. Aaaaargh, annoying!! :mad:

So we had an unofficial diagnosis of autism for my 5 year old daughter from the paediatrician yesterday so now waiting for a more official on paper diagnosis.
If one more person says to me today though “oh there’s nothing wrong with her” or “she doesn’t Look autistic” or “she’ll outgrow it, it’s just a faze” I’m gonna go insane!!

my neighbour who was talking to even started saying well I haven’t seen that in her or when I was telling her how she’ll spin on the spot with her tongue out for 20 minutes at a time or sits flapping her hands went on to tell me “well (her sons nam) has always been my special needs kid I think he just makes me cringe”

wow jeez thanks

It was as on my todo list this morning to wash and vac my car... I washed the car at the jet wash at Morrison’s but then the vacuum was out of order so I went to the garage up the road, put the money in but it wouldn’t suck up so I went in and complained but the girl didn’t speak much English and didn’t understand me ( I’m not being racist it was just the reality of the situation). In the end she gave me my money back just to get rid of me I think. It really wound me up trying to make myself understood.

“Friends”.

Apparantly our friendship has broken down so much that we don’t even buy birthday cards anymore. It’s sad.

The fact that my other half’s phone is seemingly glued to his hand! Even when I ask for a hand moving something he’s still staring into it with the other! It’s like having a third wheel in the relationship sometimes 😫

OMG YES. It’s infuriating. We got a child free couple of hours thanks to a mother-in-law bubble today, went for a lovely walk with the dog and husband had three phone calls and about four whatsapp chats he HAD to keep up with. When kids came home and we’re chattering to us about what they’d been up to he was one eye on a YouTube video and one ear bud in 😤🤬

I got a lot of that when my son was diagnosed two years ago. It got to the point where I just learnt to ignore it. Some people you can educate, especially children, others not so much. I think a lot of people just don’t know what to say or are actually quite ignorant to conditions like autism (especially older people, I find). Currently waiting for the official diagnosis for my younger son now and it feels like deja vu. He has to have a blood test done to check for other developmental disorders.

I hope you’re doing ok yourself. It can be a gut punch hearing from a professional that your suspicions are correct. I cried for about a week when my son was officially diagnosed, despite fully expecting it and also feeling relieved that we were being taken seriously after being told I was being stupid. ❤
