Lockdown 1, I was doing new activities, baking, cleaning and exercising.
This time round, I'm tired, my sleep is all over the place. I end up at least once a day arguing with dcs about doing their school work. I have no escape from the dcs, when normally they'd be at school and I'd be at work.
I know it won't be like this forever, but just need to know I'm not the only one...

@Thorilicious

Well ds has just whispered he doesn't love me, so I'm feeling great.... He's only little so I know he doesn't mean it, but doesn't stop me feeling a bit sad.
That's ok . That means you are the person he feels safest with . The person he can lash out at

GENIUS thanks reiningitin

We've had snow, which has been an amazing and welcome change. The kids actually wanted to go outside, rather than having a battle over it!

Thanks Thorilicious I tested positive 26 Dec and was ill for 10 days, then got mostly better. But 2 weeks ago, most of symptoms back....

I spent most of 2020 shielding as in summer I had a really severe spinal injury and in constant pain. I'd been most worried about Long Covid as have had a hideously stressful decade...

Tooooooooo much shit.

I think all these pages need printing out and sent to all the key ministers in the government, and our mps
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
There must be millions more
I’m only coping because
A I don’t have young children
B My husband is lovely and it’s no hardship being here 24/7 with him
C we are retired and don’t have to wfh
D I see family regularly I
Even with that it doesn’t make it less shit

Thorilicious · 16/02/2021 11:50
