I've got the most rotten cough, and it's kept me awake, and worn me out.
But ds seems even more demanding than usual. He came in to us at 6:30 this morning, and usually goes down to watch telly until we get up at 9-ish on sundays. But this morning he kept coming back in. Dh got up at about 9 (complaining my cough had kept him awake), but ds kept coming back to me at 10, 15 min. intervals. Eventually when he sat on my bed reading out jokes at about 10:30 I gave up, and got up anyway (in tears, then dh shouted at ds for disturbing me).
But I feel dire. ds and dh have gone to the park for 1/2 an hour (it's a sunny afternoon here) but it'll start again when they get back.
dh goes away tonight for 5 days again (I'm almost relieved), so I'll be a single mum again for a week. How do I get a 6 y.o. to treat me gently?
