I think I am probably BU. I'm a single parent and I have two great DC, a job I like, and a pretty good network of friends. I see people for coffee/playdates with the DC fairly regularly, the odd night out, I've got a weekend away with friends in a few weeks.
But exH has got the kids for the whole of half term, and I have got nothing to do. Literally nothing. I work term time only so I won't even be in work. I thought at least I could make the most of it, plan a few nights out or at least coffee etc with friends. My friend who I was supposed to be going out with on the Sat has cancelled. Others have to 'check' with their DHs, or they have family staying etc. I'm starting to feel like I look a bit desperate trying to arrange stuff.
Is it too much to ask? I would have thought I don't need to spell it out I'm going to be on my own, completely for the whole week. I always miss the kids rotten and usually manage to keep myself busy and make plans but somehow this time it hasn't worked out. I'm dreading it now, and all I get is 'ooh how lucky, a whole week to yourself'. I would have thought someone would have realised I'm going to find it tough and could do with a bit of company. But then all my friends are married/with partners and I know they're busy with their own families. So I am probably just being unreasonable and self indulgent. Sob.
