Pathetic but....

[grumpyyetgorgeous]

Is anybody else on their own today? First time since he was born that I haven't got ds (at his dad's all day) we had a family day last week instead. I went to church this morning but because I wasn't with ds everybody ignored me. The world around me spins to be having parties and BBQ's. I honestly thought I'd be fine with this and I'm not!! 😫
Anybody else in the same boat?

Yes I am alone today and loving it.

It is pure me time to read, drink coffee, pootle around in the garden and eat whatever I fancy.

Over the years I have learnt that being alone can be miserable or delightful depending on my attitude. I relish my alone days because I have decided to approach them as a treat.

I get more time alone now than I did when my DD was younger and actively seek it out, as a time to recharge my sense of me.

Sounds fab! I'm normally like you and really enjoy me time, no idea why I'm so fed up today

Go find a good book, open a nice bottle of wine or find some Chocolate, get out in the garden and try to chill !!

Yes and I'm bouncing between happiness and guilt - 100 things to do think cleaning not fun stuff and I'm on here and not dressed yet.

I blame being with people for me not doing boring jobs, now I'm still avoiding things. Please give me a push!

Are you suffering from a lack of chocolate? Normally one can pilfer from the kids' stash...

@Chocmallows no don't do jobs today, only fun stuff or relaxing, it's practically the law 
@SpoonBlender I do have chocolate but am am slimming world so trying to be good.

Haha, OP, I will go and choose what I want then, thanks
Maybe a slice of

Go for it!!

Oh no! In that case I join the chorus prescribing a nice lie down/potter in the garden.

You mean because it’s Easter Sunday OP? It’s just another day, doesn’t mean anything. Try and do something nice for yourself.

I'm on my own today, not working for once either and am attempting to cut the grass in my back garden, although I do keep having breaks

Yes I suppose so, I woke up this morning to the sound of the neighbour's children having an Easter egg hunt so I felt guilty that I wasn't around to do that for my ds. Church was horrible but that's a whole other (long) story then the good weather always makes me feel like I should be out at a picnic or in a beer garden.
We actually had our Easter Sunday last week and have had a lovely holiday too. So not sure why I'm being so wet really

I’m home with DH and DS but DH is ill and DS isn’t 100% either so we’re all a bit bored but lacking enthusiasm to do anything. I feel like everyone else is having fun in the sun,bbqing, egg hunting etc and we’re all a bit miserable. It is just another day though. They’ll be plenty more fun times ahead.

I usually love my days off when my daughter is with her dad, but today is so hard, I've been teary all day.

And to posters saying "it's just another day" - yes, but you saying that doesn't make it any easier. It's a holiday where the non religious aspect of it is focused on kids having fun, and if your kids aren't with you, it can sting.

for you @greatbigwho it can be difficult on certain days can't it?
