I'm bored shitless

[Youagain2025]

I have stuff to do but I can't be arsed . So im just going to moan about being bored. And talk crap.

I know this sounds silly . But im really happy that dd has a new place to live . its further away from me about 45 mins -1hr by public transport . Shes still in the same borough though. Before she was 10 mins from me. So it felt close for if something was to happen or go wrong . I just worry 😭

But by the same token it's probably a good thing. She's going to have to stop relying on me so much.

I think I'm so used to something going on with her that Im over think everything. She's not even overly young she's 27 . But she is young maturity wise . It feels like a form of cutting the apron strings even though she's lived away from home for a while now.

My 9 year old has been asking everyday how many days till we don't have to do the school run with them anymore. So he's really looking forward to the peace.

Are you the poster who spends half her life looking after and doing school runs for her daughter's children? If so then this can only be a good thing. Focus on your younger children. Your adult daughter will manage when she has to.
If that's not you then ignore me 😆

IIRC you’ve struggled with being too close to your daughter and doing the school runs etc. this is a really good thing to happen for your relationship. It is much more normal for a 27 year old to live independently and hopefully your relationship will flourish with the space x

I know I'm just being a twat. It feels odd 🤣

You'll soon get used to it and enjoy that extra time for yourself!

100% true. Because i was starting to resent doing things a bit . I think there being some distance will help that a bit. I mean she will still do gym . But at least I don't have her on the bus with me at 7.30am and then picking GS up after school. Just having that peace on the bus and that bit of time with my kids.

And yes I agree with the normal for 27 year old comment. I have actually distanced myself from some of the stuff she does /says . I play everything down now. So if she says there was a woman on the bus and she was rude bla bla. I just keep it all very basic like oh well your home now. Or never mind it was only a few stops . Where I used to ask what happend etc . I stopped doing it. It would really stress me out and I would get really worried. Especially for GS . Then my Teen DS started telling me that things are not often as she says they are. So I stopped letting myself get sucked in. And I do feel less stressed .

Sorry wasn't meant to say all that 😅. But regardless it's definitely a good thing .

We had such a peaceful school run. We had lovely little chats and a bit of joking with each other. It was stress free. On the way home I was just quite and sort of day dreaming really. Its the little things 😅

All I want now is the lighter mornings to come so it does not feel so bad getting up on the mornings.
