Do you have it?
I sure do! And it is because I am tired of seeing people on IG going to Cabo for Thanksgiving weekend, having girl night slumber party, having a bridal shower, etc. And then people complaining that masks don’t work because we are locked down again.
Sigh! Ok, vent over. Just getting frustrated with people I know and how this is changing my view about some of them.

I’m tired of all of it. I’m tired of quarantine and isolation, I’m tired of working in a pandemic and never having a solid footing on where I’ll be staff and client wise, I’m tired of being terrified I’ll accidentally bring home germs to my husband and kids because some parent decided to pump their kid full of Tylenol to mask the fever they have. I’m tired of the back and forth with school being in person vs virtual. I’m tired of all our extracurriculars getting yanked away or switched to virtual (not the same but better than nothing). I’m tired of missing out on pre-planned events.
But really I’m tired of playing by as many rules as I can, while everybody else around me is not doing their part.

I'm kind of glad to stay home right now. It's cold out. It's dark a good share of the day. I have things to do at home. I'd like to go to a high school basketball game and I'd like to see my family at Christmas, but I've learned to roll with the punches. I have become very judgmental about some people and I'm probably going to remember it for a long time.

I do. People posting vacation photos, family gatherings with 4,5,6 different families all having a great time with no masks, no social distancing. I’m mad. They’re part of the problem. They’re adding to the spread. I’m tired of it.

I've been over it for months but have been following the rules and playing it safe. Cases are climbing and I am going to just hunker down here at home - using curbside and well luckily I have lots of things to keep us busy. I think this is going to be a long couple of months here among all the deniers that are partying away.
ETA: and yes I am getting judgemental about others posting their huge gatherings with family and friends.

Me. Here things are business as usual, as our rates skyrocket and hospitals fill up. If I see one more person on social media post about their group gatherings and then complain that school has gone back virtual, I may scream.

I'm weary... that's the word I came up with the other day. I don't think I will look at people the same when this is over.

My kids haven't been in in-person school since early March, and I am so sick of the fact that, as far as I can tell, that's just fine as long as people can still go maskless in South Dakota.

Definitely. But I’m glad this experience has weeded out the people in my life who don’t believe in vaccines or basic human decency (wearing a mask) before I have a newborn.

I am. Between the election and Covid, I'm tired. Today I received a personalized ornament from Etsy, a globe with the phrase "The weary world rejoices" written on it. It seemed fitting for 2020.

I’m hitting a wall. I now have all 3 kids home and I’m going to lose my mind. I know I’m acting like a grump, but I’m just not wired to have 5 people home 24/7. I’m a little OCD about cleanliness and I’m struggling. I pretty much have 2 options-clean up after them and become resentful or just watch them make messes and probably lose my shit.
Honestly my strategy for tomorrow is to go for long car rides. I just can’t be in the house all day long.

I can't remember what a clean house looks like...

Can you get your kids to start pitching in or start pitching in more? There is no rule that mom has to do it all or even the majority of it.

ETA - I think the elections played a part in the level of my frustration too. For sure. Between COVID and the aftermath of the election, I will never look at some people the same. People I had liked for decades previously. People’s public reactions to COVID restrictions and guidelines (like mask wearing) and also to Trump losing have changed how I will see them forever. I am so disgusted with such a large swath of humanity, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around it.

I am tired of dealing with morons and their lack of concern about Covid. I’m tired of seeing so many people around me carrying on as normal. The isolation has been wearing on me. I’m tired of feeling sad for all the lives lost and feeling disappointed in our country.

I hear you. I've been okay ... until now. Christmas is "my" holiday -- I love shopping the stores for gifts and stuff. Wrapping gifts --- the whole shebang. I want to go to a store and browse -- and one that isn't a grocery store. I want to enjoy Christmas. Sigh -- I miss planning a trip, going to the movies. I need a haircut ... and a pedicure, I'm tired of worrying about my paramedic son. I'm just tired of this ........ then seeing other people behaving irresponsibly is very grating! and it is just a whine because I know that we have it pretty good. And I WILL enjoy Christmas ........

I'm doing OK for the most part. I'm mostly sad/frustrated/mad at my friends.
They started getting together again in September for craft evenings and meals. They went last week to a Diner that was purposing going against the State mandates and continue to server indoor meals (which had been banned over a week prior). I was never more disappointed in them than going there - when they KNEW what was going on. What's worse, this Diner was also not enforcing mask policy with employees or patrons.

YES!! I could have written the same OP word for word. I’m so sick of people complaining and protesting the shut downs, but these seem to be the same people who also live life like normal and think rules don’t apply to them.
Just this past weekend I muted or unfollowed anyone in my life that isn’t following the health and safety guidelines. I’m sick of seeing vacation and party posts. They get completely removed if they post or tweet about election fraud.

It’s bugging my DH more than it bugs me. I’m kind of a homebody anyway but I would really like to get a hair cut. I’m easily six months overdue, ugh. The problem is the place I go is 40 minutes away one way with good traffic and no weather, it takes 45 minutes for a hair cut, the guy I go to is the shop owner who doesn’t work at night or on weekends and I don’t want to leave my kid home alone for three hours during the day on a school day when my essential worker DH is out of the house working. My hair is getting so long and it’s driving me nuts.

I'm tired of hear about and getting upset over people/friends not following rules our thinking that rules=dictator. I'm fine with staying home and staying in my bubble while being oblivious to people I know being defiant about lockdown. I know I'm doing my part and that I can't control others so it is better if I just ignore them. They know how I feel, no need to get upset cuz it doesn't change anything. Just let me know when to come out for the vaccine!

Definitely. But I’m glad this experience has weeded out the people in my life who don’t believe in vaccines or basic human decency (wearing a mask) before I have a newborn. If there is any positive that comes out of the madness that is 2020, this is it. People who aren’t willing to sacrifice so little to protect a newborn aren’t worth it! I hope through this chaotic year, you are having a happy healthy pregnancy and enjoying the little moments (first kick, feeling squirms and wiggles.) I wish you a safe delivery and a healthy baby to add to your family. Don’t be shy about going into mama bear mode and protecting your baby from anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers. As you said, it’s nice they are declaring themselves now so you can deal with it prior, but don’t sacrifice what you know is right to spare someone’s feelings. Trust your mom instincts!!

My quarantine fatigue had been at a really low point, I think mostly when the kids went to class, then didn't. I felt so bad for them and then hearing my teacher friends stories. Plus election crap at that time that was really getting to me. I'm fortunate to have friends and family that are mostly cautious so I'm not seeing much for stupid stuff that ticks me off. So we have mostly settled into a good routine that includes a lot more being outdoors then I usually do and the late start to winter is making me almost giddy that we can still go out and hike so easily (hiking through snow is not my favorite). And I am absolutely grateful for my teens that are mostly content being home so much and seem to be mentally weathering it all just fine.
What I've all of a sudden starting thinking about is how quick this may come to and end and I'll have to go back to work 5 days a week plus the long commute that adds an 1-1/2 hours to each workday. Ugh. While I am looking really forward to getting back and seeing co-workers again, I think I've gotten to a point I could continue my work life just as it is, but it won't be possible.

Sad. Frustrated. Angry. Frustrated. Was exposed to COVID last week at work. Got tested and thankfully I'm negative but man was that scary.

Yes! Everything people have written here.
I’m tired of doing the right thing. Cancelled our family beach trip (parents, 2 sisters families and us- annual trip). Staying home. No snow trips with friends (who are still going with other friends). No eating out, only pick-up and bring home to eat. No bowling. No shopping other than groceries and curbside. No seeing my family.
I’m tired of seeing people live it up, no masks, not a care n the world. Many people I know are at NFR in Texas right now. Travelled from CA to TX. No masks, no distancing. Friends from ID are there too. They flew. I just want to scream.
My superintendent and board members meeting on zoom from a board room, no masks on some all in the same room. But school is in person hybrid and live streaming to the at home all day with plans for full in person 5 days a week after Christmas break.
I have lost all faith in humanity right now.

Do you have it? I sure do! And it is because I am tired of seeing people on IG going to Cabo for Thanksgiving weekend, having girl night slumber party, having a bridal shower, etc. And then people complaining that masks don’t work because we are locked down again. Sigh! Ok, vent over. Just getting frustrated with people I know and how this is changing my view about some of them. I have just stopped looking at FB because people are having 30 (!!) people over and still believe they are quarantining. Why? I have no idea. I cannot even comment. My daughter has to move to London before the end of the year for work. She is immuno compromised. She isn't even going to see her friends who quarantine because she doesn't want to do anything she doesn't have to. I went to see my one buddy who is in my only pod. She is pregnant and goes nowhere (neither do I outside the grocery store once every 2 weeks). We sat outside with masks on 6 feet from each other. And yet I see picture after picture on FB of people hugging and together. It makes me crazy.

Yes. I try not to whine about it but I am going to here! I’m tired of quarantine and isolation. Last September/October my lower back was in so much pain I could barely do anything. Then in November it started affecting my legs and I was using a cane to walk but was mostly just at home. I was scheduled & had surgery Dec 6th. Things felt good no more pain. I was shy about going out because I had to wear a clamshell brace for 6 weeks. I was finally cleared to drive the middle of Feb and no more brace! Freedom!
My best friend dies from cancer Feb 23.
Then Covid and the lock down. Being high risk I have barely been out. We still haven't been able to celebrate my friend's life.
Summer came and we did a few outside things. Then I started having leg pains. And in July I twisted my knee. I thought I set off a flare so I just iced it and rested it. Not better 3 weeks later go to dr. Xrays & MRI show complete tear of the ACL and complex tear of the meniscus.
Go to the ortho and he says you need a total knee replacement. So Nov 10th I had surgery. Doc said it was really really bad in there and good thing I did the replacement.
And now here we are. Can't drive, Can't visit friends. We were supposed to go to NY and WA to see family. Our oldest daughter eloped & moved to Canada. I am just over all of it.
And I have guilt because for the most part we are healthy and noone in our families have gotten covid. Dh is still employed and working more than ever while working from home.
I just want life to go back to normal.
Ok I am done whining.
