I don't really enjoy weekends...anyone else?

[Taleas0ldastime]

I'm a single parent of 2 children aged 6 and 7. Both have autism. Weekdays are fine...they are in school and I'm in college or work so its busy.
However I find weekends long and lonely. I dont have many friends and those I do have are busy with their own families. I don't have childcare so can't get out often on my own and its hard to bring the dcs out by myself. One is a flight risk and gets very overwhelmed being out anywhere different so I really need someone else with me. My mum can come sometimes but I don't like bothering her too often as she still works fulltime so her weekends are her rest time.
Does anyone else just find weekends hard?

I'm a LP and really not enjoying it with teens who want to stay inside all weekend.
My younger teen is struggling with various things so I understand where you are coming from not being able to go certain places. Mine freaks out about shops. It's hard.

I feel your pain, OP. I’m not a lone parent but full-time care of a child with significant SEN is NOT a break. Weekends and holidays are much tougher than the school week (which is already hard going). I used to love weekends.
Now I can’t wait for Monday to roll around.

I too hate weekends. I'm bored of it. I have an incredibly angry 3 and a half year old and a husband who can't cope with it. I can't cope with the boredom. I would rather be at work. Family have their own stuff going on. Friends have their own stuff going on. I'm so lonely.

I am not a fan of weekends. Quite selfishly, I hate not having time to myself.
