Hi - I am really struggling at the mo. and need some ideas for looking after the kids when I am ill.
Before kids I had ME/Chronic fatigue for two years, pregnancies calmed it down but it has now reared it's ugly head again -
I am undergoing 100's of tests to rule out autoimmune diseases / coeliac disease etc but so far nothing found and I am just getting worse. It means that I am really tired and get easily stressed at my poor kids
Before I got ill they only watched telly about twice a week and now it is on everyday -
What I really need is ideas for entertaining the kids and keeping the house in vague order with as little effort as possible.
My DH is lovely and supportive but is working every hour that godsends as it looks like I will have to give up my part-time job as I am too ill to work. We have no family locally and most of our friends have young children themselves
How do other people manage?
