To be feeling just a teeny bit sorry for myself?

[vvviola]

Obviously it's nothing in the grand scheme of things but...

I'm a part time student, part time SAHM. More SAHM at the moment as I'm on holiday from university.

We have 2 pretty intense DCs (DD1 is 5, never stops talking and needs a solid 2 hours of running around per day. DD2 is 17 months, with multiple food allergies, and wakes constantly at night.) So, time with DH is pretty limited.

My parents have been staying since December and they have been brilliant. Taking one or both of the children at times (or just diluting the insensity a bit). But one thing we haven't been able to swing is time for DH & me together.

It was supposed to be today. We were going to have lunch & go to a movie. Bliss.

DD2 has been getting sick since last night can only keep breastmilk down. I've lost count of the times I've been covered in vomit.

So while mainly I'm concerned about her, AIBU to feel just a teeny tiny bit sorry for myself that I didn't get my day out today (especially as my parents only have one weekend left with us so I don't know if we'll get the chance again )?

of course you're not bu.

it's shitty that you're not getting some couple time, especially when you don't get much of it & you've been looking forward to it.

hope DD feels better soon, the wee soul, and hope it's in time for you & DH to have another go at "you-time" before your parents go home.

Oh no, poor you. YANBU!

Hope you manage to get some couple time next weekend.

Thanks. She seems a bit better now, so hopefully we're over the worst.

I'm consoling myself with tea & biscuits.

My parents would have looked after them any night we chose - even wanted to send us away overnight, but DD2 hasn't cooperated with either taking a bottle or sleeping through the night.

Fingers crossed for next weekend maybe.

I swear she's doing it on purpose now...

We're all set to try again tomorrow. Lunch & a movie. DD has woken screaming every 45 minutes since she went to bed. Ears or teeth I think. But unless it settles down and I get a teeny bit of sleep, we'll lose our last opportunity...
