Well am I?
Since Thursday night I have been running around like a mad thing,
Thursday night my sister was taken to hospital (all well thank God) and my mother was with her, Mother is in a wheelchair, sister calls me and said mum was "doing her head in" and I had to g pick her up, so I drove to the hospital (15 miles) to drive my mother to her house that is half a mile away, she would not get a cab as they would not stop to get her fags Angry

Friday I run round all day picking up cake, balloons, and stuff for DS1 birthday, I then have to drive back to mums and pick up her and sis and sisters boyfriend as we are going out for a birthday meal.

Saturday was a mad rush of getting stuff sorted, Sunday was DS1s 16th and so busy day, he and friends went out but I was cooking for 8 as I had on Saturday

Monday Jubilee BBQ Lots to bake, make and do

Today I took my mother shopping then took her and my sister and he BF home, came back done washing and so on and sat down to watch last nights concert on TV and my DS2 is driving me mental.

He has a friend here, they can not go and play in the friends houes, it is raining so they can't go to the park, I have given them cup cakes to ice and yet still all I hear is whine whine whine
"WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO" " WE'RE BOARD"

It is non stop, this house is full to bursting of things to do, but no just whine and while, I have not stormed off to the bed room with the lap top because I am at the end of my rope, I have phoned his dad and told him come and take him home with him and find him something to do because I have had enough, this has been going on since 1.00pm

YANBU to want 5 minutes but you've only yourself to blame... Trying to do 2 x birthday parties, ferrying around your family, a jubilee BBQ and a shopping trip in a single long weekend?

You should cut yourself some slack and stop ferrying everyone around

maybe your sis and mum are taking you for a ride somewhat?

time to say no, it's hard though

if you take a back seat with your kids, they'll soon learn to find stuff to do (works in our house anyhow)

good luck

you could start by asking your DS to bring you a cup of tea if he is so bored...!??

Don't get me wrong, I love having family and friends about but I would just have liked a bit of a wind down now

YANBU - my DC's are young enough to be entertained by Disney Junior, I have to admit after a day of refereeing and drawing all over brand new wallpaper I've finally given in and put it on for half an hour. Peace....for now.

You're mad to do 2 birthday parties and a barbeque in one weekend.

Just no way.

Chill out a bit, you don't need to do everything.

find somewhere quiet with a glass of wine for 20 mins. in 15 years time they will all have left home and you will be bored

My seven year old found she wasn't bored after all when I suggested she empty the tumble dryer and fold up the laundry Grin
