To want to just stay in bed and ignore kids

[TheWiltedRose]

all day and night? im having a really bad day today and am going to snap at some point so would it be wrong of me to feed them, change them and let thtem play on there own today?

[foofi]

Not at all. Maybe send them out to buy you a magazine and box of chocs?

[TheWiltedRose]

I think that would get me done, there 3 and 1

[TheWiltedRose]

i wish i had the money for chocolate

[Nemoandthefishes]

I would love to do that but alas I cant.

[foofi]

Sorry - it was only a joke, not meant to make you feel worse!

Seriously, it wouldn't hurt them to watch a bit of television while you have a rest nearby! [smiles]

[TheWiltedRose]

#just been trying so hard to stay positive but im fed up and lonely

[cupsoftea]

tv is the answer plus some snacks for them.

I'm home alone with my kids as dh is away & I could do with a fairy godmother arriving & just saying cupsoftea go & rest whilst I sort everything out......

[foofi]

Try not to feel lonely - there's a lot of other MNers in the same boat so keep posting. If you're tired you're bound to feel fed up. Make sure you're looking after yourself, not just the kids, ie make sure you eat properly!

[TheWiltedRose]

Its not the same, im on here day and night and im lucky if one person notices me im fed up of only having people to talk to online when what i need is a friend.

[cupsoftea]

could you take your kids to the park & strike up a convosation with another parent?

[TheWiltedRose]

Theres never anyone at the park but yobs so never talk to anyone plus im scared of going there alone since we were locked in for 4 hours before

[cupsoftea]

gosh wrose - trying to think of somewhere you could go with little kids.

[TheWiltedRose]

Nowhere that doesnt invole money. Im tapped inside as usual i ned to clean but just cant and im so fed up

[cupsoftea]

My 2yr is playing in a pop up tent with my other kids. I'm on here! whilst bf dd who has a temp today. what are your lo's upto?

[TheWiltedRose]

my ds1 is trashing his room and ds2 is in my bed trying to gough my eye out. Happy times

[cupsoftea]

wrose sending you a big hug xxx

is there one job you could do that would make you feel better (& leave the rest) I'm trying to pluck up courage to tackle sorting a weeks washing. It's been getting more & more and now has to be done but I just don't want to do it but if I don't the kids will have nothing for tomorrow.

[VictorianSqualor]

TWR, I used to do this all the time when I felt shit, just leave the kids to their own devices, as long as they are fed and watered (and they aren't playing with knives/irons/medicines) they'll be fine.

[mybrainaches]

I did today for half hour, exet one of the kids tok my mobile phone, now I cant find it anywhere, grrrrrrrrrr

[cupsoftea]

yikes brainaches - is it on & can you call it from another phone?

[mybrainaches]

Dont have another phone, BT is incoming calls only.

[cupsoftea]

hope you strike lucky with the phone. I've had this but the battery has gone & found my mobile a week later in a drawer!

[NappiesGalore]

oh. is this not the norm then?

[duchesse]

Oh gosh how well I remember that feeling of being trapped, and I wasn't on my own... Your children will be absolutely fine without mummy attention/ parked in front of telly today.

I am more worried about you- is this feeling usual for you?

[TheWiltedRose]

Everyday im just fed up of it all i can see my life streching out in front of me like this and i dread it, no partner, no friends, no money, no studying or job. Nothing
