Can I not need to be the ever patient, ever regulated, ever vigilant parent. This week has been hard, changes at work needing my time and attention, supporting colleagues facing significant changes to roles and process. Uncertain about my own job, due to staff sickness I’ve been carrying the team for three weeks through the reorganisation and I’m knackered.
DD needs a lot of support, three weeks into the school year and she’s struggling again - getting her up and out is an hours long process and every single thing is hard work. It’s not her fault but it’s hard going. I really am patient and accepting of her just not being able to get up and go. This morning I’m utterly worn out - too much emotional energy needed everywhere and I have none to give.
Just for once I wish it was easy. Any more just for today wishes?
