Mumsnet Talk

Wow, just read this thread from start to finish. You are amazing and your children are blessed to have such a strong mother. as their role model.

I am sure you are in for a rocky road ahead but at least you can do so knowing. that you've kicked this arse out.

Just catching up. Well done, OP. Keep strong.

Thank you for your kind messages.

Woke up this morning feeling terrible, have a stinking cold and I ache from top to toe. And to top it off I have a uti! Great fun, ds2 has just made me tea and toast though without me even asking, bless him

Oh no - that's all you need!
It's lovely that your DS is taking care of you!
Bless him.
I really hope you feel better soon. Take care!

Make sure you rest lots. You need it more than ever!

Hope you feel better soon .

rest, and drink tea, lovely DS2 making it for you!

Have just read this whole thread, much love to you Alice, you're doing amazingly. xx

Thanks, you lovely bunch

I'm doing nothing apart from the school run tomorrow then a stress free weekend just me and the kids. Maybe do something special for Mother's Day on Sunday.

By god you've earnt it woman. Enjoy your peaceful time.

I am so full of admiration for you, Alice. Just... Speechless at the behaviour of this animal. You are amazing. Enjoy mothers' day with your lovely kids and bask in the relaxed atmosphere of your newly reclaimed house.

Alice please just drink copious amounts of water and, if you can pull it together, lemon honey. Cranberry juice for the uti (and meds?) Sleep whenever you can.

And please please do something lovely with your kids for Mother's Day. They sound like wonderful kids x

They are amazing kids. Don't know where I'd be without them. Ds2 is a little sweetheart. Dd has taken up residence in my bed which is lovely although she keeps hogging the duvet all night! Ds1 is his usual teenage self, in his own world looking for food at regular intervals! Ha.

I've got anti b's for the uti so should be fine by the weekend. Definitely a special treat for us all on Sunday.

Thanks again.

Sunday will be really special for all 4 of you Alice.

I'm really pleased for you

Oh that sounds so SO much better than where things were at a week ago. Well done Alice, I look forward to hearing about your Mother's Day with your children.

It's amazing how one tiny thing can set you off. Dd's head teacher just had a go at me and I'm sitting in tears ffs.

WTF is the head having a go at you for. That is NOT on.

Oh no! What the hell for? :-(
Please don't let it affect you! Let it all out in tears then shoulders back up. You are STILL amazing and strong

Very understandable when you're in a fragile state of mind. Does dd's head teacher know you've been the victim of assault this week? If not I would get her told good and proper!

Don't worry that you've had a moment. Moments are fine.

Oh Alice, you have come so far in a week, you should be very proud.

Lots of for you.

What? How rude of her/him, what about ffs?

It wasn't even a school matter. She's a vile intimidating woman. I think even a dirty look would have set me off but she was just being a bitch and spoke to me like shit. I'm over it. Bigger fish to fry as they say.

What a caah! And you're attitude towards her is spot on! I admire you and what you're doing so much.

Thanks.

Still feeling like crap, horrible head cold, eyes are watering constantly and all bunged up Now my mums not speaking to me because I don't want to do what she wants. I've told the kids we're going to cinema in the morning, ten pin bowling then out for something to eat. Every year my mum dictates Mother's Day plans and I just do whatever she wants. This year I want to spend the day with my children and do what we want. Obviously I'd see my mum at some point during the day but I don't need added pressure and trying to please others as per usual.

Good for you! Time to put yourself first! (Well, after the DCs, natch! )

That's not very fair of your mum, after all you have been through in such a short space of time .

Stick to your plans and try to enjoy the day as much as you can. She'll come around in time. Xxx
