Hi I was wandering do you think this is unreasonable... I am a single mum. I have children ranging from ten to 3. Their dad doesnt help at all so I am left holdng the children 24/7 365....I like to go out...This makes me a happier mum. And happier mum equals happier kids. It makes me feel alive and not just a mum. I work hard. And I am a mum aswell..everyone needs to let off steam yes...???

I have a friend who will babysit say once a fortnight once a month. She will come round. I put the kids in bed. Then I go out about half 8 niine. She babysits. I then come home half one twos and am merry when i get home. I do have a drink but I handle my drink well and am never intoxicated or falling over or anything. I know my limit. She usually goes home when i come in and i go to bed and then get woken up by kids at half seven and get up with them.

Is this unreasonable???????I dont think so but am orepared to get flamed. I just want your honest opinions. I dont think there a prob with this but thir dad does....yet he wont have them??????what do you all think. Time for myself makes me a better happier mum.

krumbum he does see them but is very selective about when, where, times etc...always in day have b back at x oclock or get abuse etc...On the last rare occassion he had them overnight i was going hour away from our town (didnt tell him this)...He wouldnt let me drop off the kids until six oclock then informed me i had to back at twelve. I said it would be more like four as wanted lie in etc. when i arrived for them ten past four he said he never seeing them again etc coz i late etc etc.. i have tried everything with him tbh. He has seen them since then but only for few hours during the day,...arse
