For those of you that are completely lone parents what do you do when you need a break? I have 4 kids and haven't been away from them for over a year. I have no one that can/will help and their dad is absent through choice. I'm starting to get stressed out and just feel like I need a break. I only have my sister who doesn't help at all, not that I expect she should but it irritates me that she constantly asks me to have her child yet never helps with mine. She will make empty promises to help but every weekend she's out clubbing and every half term she's on holiday! Then works all week. I have her child and can't really afford to as I'm on benefits and she doesn't give me any money to keep him (I also don't receive CSA for my own.) so those of you that are completely lone what do you do if you need a break?
