Such a lazy day today.
Had a really nice, hot bath today, felt so much better after it.
Boyfriend coming over now for some dinner now, can't wait to see him, even though I spent all weekend with him, love spending time with him
Hope everyone had a nice day

Dublin tomorrow, waheyyy! Four days away have been four days too many. Can't wait until next week, my college friends will be moving back up for the remaining study weeks so we can do group sessions and that means I'll be staying with people and will be in Dublin a whole lot more
I'm going to go insane from boredom and generally hating Dundalk over Summer....0 -

I think I'll go insane if my Dad doesn't stop commenting on everything that anyone does or says.. :rolleyes:
I'm doing garlic potatoes for dinner and around 6pm she asked me was I doing them soon, like would I have them cooked within half an hour, I said no, it's would be a bit later when I had them, she then said she didn't want any as she was heating up mashed spuds left over from yesterdays dinner.what's up Lovely Muffin? what did she do?
That was grand until I was turning on the potatoes and asked everyone if they wanted some and she said she's have x amount, all well and good, potatoes cooking and in the oven now.
I was making tea a while after and was pouring water into one of the cups and she asked me would I give her the kettle as she wanted a drop of water for the gravy, so I said "in a second" (she expected it straight away) and she gave me a horrible dirty look, when I asked her why she looked at me like that she said "I didn't give you a dirty look, I never looked at you at all", even though I'd seen her give me the dirty look.
Since then she's in a bad mood (with me) and gives me short answers in a cross voice and gives me a dirty look every so often.
I'm just so sick of it with her, absolutely fed up of her behaviour.
Every day, seven days a week I put up with so much from her and my granny and it's wearing me down.
My own depression is acting up and that coupled with their behaviour really gets to me.
Sometimes if I do something for them, they moan and complain.
Like today, my mother washed some dishes, my granny came along, didn't know they were washed, and when she made tea she spilled some into a plate and when my mother came in and saw it, she said "ah for fcuks sake" and looked at me until she saw I didn't have tea, my granny did.
If anything goes wrong, they both look at me, regardless of whether I am to blame or not, but because, I'm twnenty one and young I must be at fault.
The pair of them deliberately have the TV up loud, so I've to put my earphones in my ears (and I'm not playing music) just so the TV doesn't sound so loud.
Earlier my mother was watching something, and had the TV blaring, I asked her if she could turn it down a slight bit, not much and she goes, "what? to suit you?" and didn't turn it down.
I'm just so fed up of it with them. If I moved out things between us would probably improve, but I don't have the money to move out, as much as I want to, I just can't produce money for rent, bills, food, etc. I can't magically get it from somewhere.
If I buy myself anything, regardless of how cheap it is, all I get is "it's well for some".
Today I told my mother that since I'd cut down take-away's and fizzy drinks and started making foods from scratch that I've lost a little bit of weight off my hips (and I'm not on a diet, I just want to eat healthily) and she said "yeah, but you still have a tummy", because I have a slight pot-belly.
I am trying to get the money together to get some running gear and also join Pilates, it just doesn't seem to be enough for them to cut out the comments about my stomach. I'm very self conscious about as it is, without having snide comments about it thrown at me.
Sorry for the long and rambled post, I just needed to get it off my chest.

That is so horrible, I would constantly be in tears if I was being treated like that, so well done for holding your composure
I know it's hard, I had similar problems with my dad when I lived at home, but try block em out.
Feel better soon 0 -

Jane, how's the blog going?
EDIT
Muffin that is really awful. I know that comforting words can't really help the situation much but i really hope things pick up for you.
Just hang out with Muffin man as much as you can. Maybe go for walks and stuff to clear your head and get you out of the house and maybe your mom will be more chilled out when you come home 0 -

I'm not working and I'm not in education.you poor thing
if i were you i'd try move out asap and scratch up the money somehow or you'll have some kind of nervous breakdown in there
it's toxic
are you working full time or in education full time, i cant remember
I've my name down for two Fas courses, so hopefully I'll get a place on one of them, preferably the ten week course.
Looking for jobs, but there is nothing in my town (Mullingar).
Now that I have my name down for two courses, I'd need a permanent job, even if it was just a few hours a week, because if I got a job for say a few weeks or months, and things still hadn't improved I would have to wait six or nine months before being able to apply for another Fás course.
If I get the ten week course, I could then go on and do further computer courses with them and hopefully within a year or two, go to a college liek A.I.T or D.I.T and do computers or something.
I've tried telling them how the comments make me feel, but they either listen and ignore or don't listen.RacoonQueen wrote: »Lovely Muffin would you sit them down and explain to them how they make you feel?
Do they know you have suffered from depression? Do they understand that their behaviour gets you down?
My mother knows I suffer from depression, my granny doesn't and I don't want her to know, because she doesn't really understand it.
As well as that, some other family members don't know about my depression and I don't want them knowing either.

Thanks for listening guys, I've no one else really to talk about it, can't talk to my family cause they'll go back to mam and blab everything I say and it will cause more trouble.
I remember one time I spoke to one of my aunties about my mother, she went back and told my mother and it caused a row between my mother and granny and they didn't speak for almost three months.
I can (and do) talk to my boyfriend, but there is only so much he can listen to, he has his own issues and it's not fair for me to dump all my problems on him all the time.0 -
