Alright so yesterday I swept/mopped floors because I agreed on doing that as a chore...I am 25, live at home with mom and her boyfriend for anyone who's not familiar with that bit of my background. It was fairly exhausting but since i was already on a roll of cleaning I did my bathroom and some room organizing to, and took a shower. So finally everything was done and I went up just to get a snack and cup of tea planning to relax the rest of the evening and accidentally knocked my french press coffee maker on the floor where it shattered. I didn't care so much that now I have to get another one...but it was a gift from my Dad and I know he kind of went out of his way to get it for me when he did so that part upset me a lot.

Anyways so was not in the best mood, but eventually recovered from that...layed down and watched some movie, couldn't tell if it was a documentary or one of those fictional movies made to have the feel of a documentary fell asleep during it. Then this morning I get to wake up to my mom and her boyfriend arguing loudly again. So I went up told them I am sick of waking up like that and that it was bad enough I broke my french press after cleaning the darn floors for them and then I have to wake up to their bickering. And my mom said some thing like 'well I guess I just shouldn't...then trailed to mumbling, and I think her boyfriend mumbled something about he wasn't arguing. She did say she was sorry about the coffee press....and went to her room. Then she came back down to the kitchen I tried to talk to her a little and its like she just ignored me...went in the bathroom by the kitchen came out and like rushed up the stairs back to her room.....So of course now I feel like she was specifically avoiding me or that she's just being weird...and don't know what to make of it, then of course with how her boyfriends acting you'd never think he had just been in an argument.

Funny how if I say something its 'the alcohol' but if they bicker like little kids or stuff like that it's 'an issue they are working on' or it's 'their feelings'. Granted I've gotten carried away with alcohol...and have said things that weren't the best.....but its not like everythings cool and then if I touch alcohol it all the sudden goes to *****...more like stuff gets to me, sometimes it gets to me when I am sober...sometimes it gets to me when I've had a couple drinks. IDK....kinda working on finding ideas to move out, filled out an application for one place but haven't been able to arrange a ride to turn it in and weathers been a little crappy for taking the bus....so looking like I am still going to be here a while, but gotta figure out how to cope with being 'here'.

Sorry if this is the wrong section, just figured it had to do with family/interpersonal relationships....but maybe its better fit for the coping with emotions section or something.

It is the perfect place How to be less irritated at people I live with? yes we love family yet irritating..

I am in a situation; currently staying with my aunt. I may love her; or a perception I had as a child. In all honesty I do not like her & that is ok.
It makes it hard though. I have chores too. Holding out..go forward to moving, as well. Hang in there How to be less irritated at people I live with?

I'm really bad at it, but I think one trick is to let other people have their stuff. Like your mother not talking to you much this morning probably had more to do with her frame of mind after fighting with her BF than it had to do with wanting to avoid *you* specifically. It's her stuff, not yours.

I'm not sure how you get to the point where that kind of thing is less annoying, though.

I'll be watching this thread because I feel irritated with the entire world at the moment and wish I didn't.
Thanks for this!

When some annoying relatives come to stay with us what I do is to spend most of the day outside of the house,taking walks,going to cafes reading books,out with friends,window shopping,at the library,whatever outside activity.
Goodluck though,I hope things get better.

How grim to be living with your folks at 25, one has usually had it up to here with them by 16 - is there no other way?

Oh I do that kind of stuff to, but we've been getting a lot of snow and kinda nasty weather the past week, so has limited my ability to get out of the house...but when the weather permits that is an option.

Well truth be told if I was living with my Dad it would be cool...trouble is he became homeless through some crappy circumstances and went out to california to stay with his sister and try and get more on his feet....so isn't an option, also now that he's out there not sure I'd want to leave Colorado. He was talking of entering to win some thing that's like a paid in full year to Hawii...and asked if he gets it if I would consider going cause I guess its for two. I am kinda considering it if he does win it and things are still the way they are...except than I would miss my kitties for a full year.
