OK, I don't really think that I suppose but I feel I never really get it right and am starting to find this holiday a struggle. I spent a fair bit, but not more than I can afford, they had a nice sized pile and were happy with what they had but now they seem to have nothing to play with! It seems to be games, craft sets, puzzles that need help or supervision, outdoor stuff that we can't use in the snow or electronic stuff that needs to be limited.
Dd has no interest in doing anything other than singing along to fucking frozen, or doing project stuff that I can't do all day, and D's, while he seems happy enough, is an appeaser and I am sure there is something missing and he is just being polite or something. I just wish they would play with figures and get engrossed in something imaginative, but they seldom do and I wonder if it's because I don't buy enough sets or there is just something wrong with my parenting.
I do realise what a load of nonsensical drivel the is and I am partly down as it is my first Christmas as a lone parent- I keep thinking bhow in a few years I will be alone for Xmas and I am wasting the best ones in this crap, but I can't help it. And it's not just my circumstances- I have always been anxious and find it hard to see positives and this is one of the reasons my marriage failed- that and h being a cheating bastard, of course.
Anyway, just needed to vent and really hoping for a virtual kick!
