getting stessed in summer holidays

[conway]

Finding I am getting bad tempered in the holidays .Husband is away a lot and I am getting very stressed. Have 3 and 8 year old and if I take them both out just can't relax.
Everyone else seems to have a good time and I don't have many friends to go out with. If I I suggest something they normally are too busy.

I can appreciate where you are coming from, I have a 11 month old baby, and I find the baby groups and activities being held ocally are all 'clicky', I have tried the smiling and the trying to get to know other mums, but they are all there to chat to each other and gossip, not interested in being nice at all, if I want to go out I go by myself and then feel totally out of place!. The only think I could suggest is a nice walk the in countryside somewhere, let the kids run around.............. and take in the sunshine. If you are luck the will wear themselves out and you may get a bit of peace at home too.
