all the bloody expectations, build up etc etc to be soooo tired after trying to play santa for kids who only half believe, to have them argue and complain just like any other day - after all it is just another day (only that we've spent a lot of money for things my children don't really seem that grateful for) - and of course their mates will have had more. why o why do we do it????? cant we go back to oranges and just a stocking?
and my youngest has just told me he saw the bikes at his dads - he wrapped it apparently - after me going to the stress of hiding everything, trying to make sur 9 year old daughter still believes for last time - for younger brother to come out and say that - sooo pissed off with him - what the hell was he doing letting him see the bike (making sure he knew dad got it perhaps?) he could have told me if that was the case i would have got something else for my son no problem.
dont think i can even manage to watch strictly tonight - sooo tired. sitting here crying cos ive been snappy with them - on my own all day apart from couple hours.
ranting on here to get it out somewhere else, salvage some of the evening with them!
