Hello,
As I have stated in my earlier posts, I live with both of my parents. Throughout the past 8 months or so, I have felt that I am constantly being mithered from all sides. When I am not actually doing anything, they are both as quiet as a grave. When I am actually trying to do or watch something, it's almost a running commentary (Natter, natter, natter), and I cannot concentrate properly on the thing that I am doing or watching. By the end, I feel like tearing my hair out!
A fair few times, I have been very tempted to tell them to "Shut up!" (Using an expletive that I won't use on here). Also, when my Mum starts texting on her phone, it is virtually relentless (Her message tone is piercingly loud because she is hard of hearing. Also, as she is on a group chat, she ends up getting lots and lots of messages that are not even meant for her). Normally, things like this do not bother me. However the last few months it just seems to have got to me.
I'm sorry for sounding off, but this is something I have needed to get off my chest for some time.
Has anyone else been in a situation like this?
