I guess I'm feeling guilty and that I've been a bit crap to my best friend...
Loads of background - I have 3 dds - aged 9, 7 and 3. dd1 and 2 are at school all day. Dd3 is at preschool for 2.5 hours each morning. 2 mornings a week I work at the school while Dd3 is in preschool (voluntary working). Another day I go to a mums group in this time slot.
So out of dd3's 5 sessions, I'm only really at home for 2 of them. I have a DH - at the moment he is working in the US 50% of the time and when he is here he works long hours. At the moment he us away and I'll admit some days I am struggling. Just with the constant noise and questions and bickering and fighting....
My best friend is a SAHM with 1 DD at school. I love her absolutely buckets but she keeps wanting me to do things with her in these 2 mornings a week that I have alone. I understand that she doesn't always want yo see me with DD3 in tow but I really really need these 4 hours a week to myself. Tonight she specifically asked me round to hers tomorrow before nursery pick up, rather than after it.... I felt so bad saying that I really need the time dd3 is at nursery to myself.
AIBU to try and keep these 2 morning sessions a week completely to myself or should I be depending time with my friends without Dd3...
