I am looking to see if anyone's got any advice on my situation. I have 3 dc's. Dcs 1 is at school. Dcs 2 and 3 are only 2 and year old. Dc 2 has autism hates when dc3 tries to interact or play with him or touch his stuff. Dc 3 is desperate to play with dc2 I have tried to distract and play with dc 3 myself but he doesn't want me he wants dc2.
Since December we have been stuck indoors due to all dc's ending up having hand foot and mouth disease followed by me spending last week really ill. Now we are moving in 6 weekish time and also Dh starts a new job on 1st February which makes money very tight. We don't live close to any sort of play centres and near still park is other side of town. So indoors play for the time being is going to have to do. We have lots of games to play like colour bingo animal domino's arts crafts play dough ect we can do. Now I am always in my own as dh works alothe and don't have family close. I am trying to figure out how to play games ect as when we do it dc2 gets upset as he doesn't want dc3 to play. Dc3 gets a bit boustious and ends up doing something that's not what the game is about dc2 ends up in tears. I thought about doing games separate whole the other naps but dc2 no longer naps and am lucky to get a half hour nap out of him.
I know dc2 and 3 need to learn to get in but they are young and one has ASD so it's something we will work on more and more as they get on and understand. I just want any ideas on what I could do in the mean time to break up the boredom and fustration of not getting out much without causing more distress.
