How to feel better..

[Chilledout11]

Just feeling low today. Few things going on. Dh ill (nothing serious but long term) his elderly mother comes over to help (little nosey but i like her) so I don't get a break. Worked 6 says in a row. My own dc are very young and I feel like I can't get a break. My dm isn't a nice person at the best of times and I feel she will pop over today expecting silver service... grrr. Usually I put on a happy face to the world but I just feel like hiding away from everyone

When I say his mother I mean she comes over under the guise of helping with scones and I've to make tea as dh bedridden and all at inappropriate times (middle of bedtime). I've let dh know it's not on.

If he’s bedridden then you don’t have to answer the door!

Our house is all glass at the front and if our cars are there people know we are in but will think of something. I don't mind people calling but at bedtime after 6 long days and me doing literally everything I have had enough. Will have a cry and then get on with it again

Plan a little something just for you x

Yes can you get a bit of time alone from them all, I feel for you, I've been there.

Put a note on the door.

Do not disturb. Please call to arrange a visit at a convenient time.

I'm going to go to the cinema alone later I think. Just saw a post about a lady on holiday not having a great time with younger child and that was the only think she was looking forward to.

Hope you had a good night op.

I didn't go out in the end but did a bit of gardening. Thank You so much for thinking of me.

No worries. I remember those groundhog days when the kids were small. Now mine have grown up I miss them! We're never happy. I'm not saying make the best of them as your in a difficult situation, I'm just saying things change over time and get easier, just hang in there a bit longer.
