just to want some time to enjoy my lovely daughter.

[flickor]

My daughter is 11 weeks and truly lovely. Being a parent is hardwork but wonderful. I have been burgled recently and had my car stolen. That has taken up alot of time on the phone and left me a bit house bound. My Mum (who has cancer) is very ill in hospital and I see her every night (baby has bottle of expressed milk). I love my Mum and if this is her last few days on this earth I want to be with her but why now ?.
Life can be such a bitch.

Sorry that you've had a tough time lately, flickor, but you'll have your daughter for a long time. You love your Mum; prioritise your attention where it needs to be so that you don't have regrets.

flickor so sorry to hear about your Mum, what a lot to deal with.

Remember you have years ahead of you with your daughter, and tbh ime it just gets better and better.

I would see your mum a lot but maybe not everynight partly as youw ill be exhausted and no good for anyone.

Explain to her that you need time but will still come lots.

thanks guys. I appreciate what you have said.

Sorry that you are having such a tough time.

You poor thing.

My fil was dying when ds was a baby - dp took the baby to be with his dad a lot in the last few weeks. It was lovely - it made such a difference to everyone having a baby around. Don't underestimate the impact of an 11 week old on a family.

But I aree - life can be a bitch.

Life can be a bitch ..cancer is a bastard ..try to enjoy your baby I know how hard it can be
