Crappy migraine and I’m looking after DC on my own

[NooNooHead]

I’m over the worst of my hormonal induced migraine from hell but goodness, this one was a shitty one.

I was throwing up my dinner earlier and felt really pissed off as I had only cooked it an hour before. God, I hate migraines. I’m feeling a lot better now but looking after my DC with one on my own before DH gets back makes me want to cry. I just about coped with giving DS a bath and his bottle earlier, but felt dreadful when my beautiful DD got herself to bed, being the brilliant mature 7yo that she is, then I heard her crying and she told me that she felt so sad, scared and lonely that no-one was there to say good night to her. Bless her, I felt such a crappy parent.

I’m so over stupid migraines. They make me feel so bloody ill.

Migraines are fucking awful. You're not a crap parent you're unwell. In the morning give your daughter a hug and tell her thank you for being so grown up and how lucky you feel that she let you rest when you felt so poorly. My son brings me chocolate spread sandwich's when I get migraines (I have to hide them and pretend I've eaten them!)

Where's DH? Can he come home?

You sound really poorly. Hugs.

You're not crap, you're great. Sounds like you've had a tough night

I sympathise OP -migraines are bloody awful aren't they? You aren't a crap parent. I know that feeling when it's as much as you can do to stagger to bed, so it sounds like you've done brilliantly this evening to me.

Hope you feel better soon

Thank you all💖 DH is back from work now so am much better now
