I hate being a single mum. Their dad is awful so i can't cope with him but cant cope without him either.
The holdiays have started and thers so much I want to do before my girls start school again and before my boys start in september. I cant take them swimming as you need two or three adults for this number of young children and i cant take them on bikes as i cant help the older three ride while pushing DS2 in his pushchair and i want to take them to the seaside but i cant manage them all on the train and i dont drive.
But even little things are hard. I try to not worry too much about the state of the house and spend time playing with them rather than doing housework but in reality I haev to do lots of housework as the house is so small if I dont tidy up theres no room to play with them. And a lot of time is spent breaking up fights rather than playing. If I go to childrens centres they tend to go off in different directions and each one screams at me to play with them and i cant be in four places at once. If I play with one, then go to play with another the one i have been playing off doesnt want me to stop playing with him / her and cries
