To be feeling sorry for myself...

[louloutheshamed]

I am at home with ds2 12 weeks, who is poorly with bronchiolitis. He is miserable and it's awful listening to him wheezing and coughing.

Ages ago I booked tickets for Xmas panto at local theatre for me, ds1 nearly 3, ds2 and my mum but I don't feel like ds2 is well enough to go out so I have sent ds1 with my mum. But it's the first time he's ever been to the theatre and I was really looking forward to seeing his reaction. Next year I'll be back at work and not able to do stuff like this.

Feel like crying.

:( you are def NBU. Hope the little one gets better soon.

Oh I am wallowing in self pity too. This week I booked off work and filled with appointments like hairdressers, shopping with friends, going on the school trip etc.... It is now Weds and all appts cancelled so far. 1 day I had to go to a funeral, then I was sick, got DS1 home sick. So that's going to be my week off work.

I could cry with self-pity.

It's rubbish isn't it. I missed a talk by my fave writer at the library on Saturday too as ds poorly.

I need Scottish mummy or someone to come on and talk some sense to me about precious moments.

Hope your week improves

Don't worry loulou. Just knowing he went and had a lovely time will be reward enough. Between now and then you'll have their birthdays, summer holidays and all sorts.

I work full time and have 2 and am single/ish.. I had all kinds of problems a few years ago like the one you describe. Constant (it seemed) Illnesses, Ex being a twat, lack of money - you name it... I know it might seem vague to you now but you'll get through it and in a couple of weeks will wonder why you were upset at all.

Also you will be able to go next year even if working as you can book a day off. Pantos run for ages. But you are allowed to feel a bit sad have some and

Poor you YANBU.

It's awful not to be able to share those sort of things with your DS, but there will be other times as mrswarbouys says, it is nice to know that he is having a lovely time even if you're not there.

Hope your littlest gets better soon & you can all spend a nice Christmas together.

Sorry that your baby's poorly but even if he was well would you really take a 12 week old to a pantomime?

I know he's not going to watch the pantomime but I could hardly leave him at home alone! He got a £1 babe in arms ticket.

You poor thing. Hope your ds1 has a fabulous time at the panto and your baby gets well very soon..

Poor you - Im sure they will have a lovely tme and come home and tell you all about it, enjoy the peace.

I will join you in the pity party op.Its my birthday but none of my friends free to meet up.Got a guy here trying to fix my washing machine and by the sounds of it not doing too well.Our car.is broken again 1 week after it was fixed and will most likely fail the mot it is due.Dh is not being pleasent to live with as he so worried about money.Did I mention its my birthday?

Sorry LouLou.Didn't mean for you to leave him home alone.I tend to forget that babysitting isn't as easily available for some as it is for others.Hope he's better soon and the older one has a good time with gran.We took our DGS to see Jack and the Beanstalk on Saturday and he loved it.
