I just came back from a long trip with my child, both totally jet lagged and child misbehaving terribly due to over tiredness, changed routines and being spoiled rotten by the family.
On the day of the arrival, friends I have not seen in years ring to ask if they can come to visit. When? tomorrow. They have come but they now have children and we have not had a very successful mix, my child and theirs together bring the worst in each other, they have played a lot but the house is thrashed. Most toys DS received for Christmas are now broken or missing pieces. Old treasures have been smashed or destroyed. DS is acting like a git because he is obviously upset about the broken toys and tired with the jet lag, and has not have any quiet time since they arrived two days ago. I have asked twice, how long they are staying but have not got an answer yet.
I was looking to some quiet time before starting work on Tuesday, I have been stressing over two days dealing with bad behaviour, shouting, accidents, broken toys, etc. Admitedly, my friends are very nice and considerate, they do nice things like replenishing the fridge and eve cooking a 5 course NYE dinner -from scratch!.
But at the moment, I just want some silence, to be back to my routines, to sort DS' routines and behaviour, to organise the bloody house which looks as a tip, and recover from the jet lag.
Apart of having 2 tablets of valium, what can I do?
