Sorry, I know haw lame this must sound if you are a single parent, or oh who works away (maybe you will be the one who can advise me), but my dh works most weekends 13hr shifts, and although sometimes see family and very occasionally friends, don't like to ask as most people with oh at wkends.
I just find myself struggling sometimes (ok, most of the time) to be motivated all the time to entertain little ones!
We generally get out to the park or shops, or even just around the block, but sometimes even thats an effort.
For example- this morn- have done brekkie, put washing on line, just trying to start getting ready, now have one dc dressed, I'm still in pjs, and dd throwing books into bath whilst running tap. Dd hitting ds, both screaming and shouting. Dd screaming, wants o wear shorts and pink vest only.
I now can't be bothered, all requires too much effort, by the time we get out, will need to get back for lunch, ds tired needing nap.
Is it all a state of mind? Do u think I will drown in a pool of self-pity?
