To have forgotten what I like to do?

[Achooblessyou]

Bf has suggested we go dry for October. It's a good idea cos I feel the need for a glass if wine every night when I get home from work. If I'm honest it makes me less productive for the rest of the night, but I feel so stressed and shattered when I get in it's what I really want.

I don't want to go dry cos I think it's the only thing I can do for myself. I work, I make tea, I help with homework, I ferry kids about, I do lots for my dad, I clean, I wash, and often I log in and work again after the kids are in bed.

I do get to watch tv late on but by the time I do I'm shattered.

Then weekends are more of the same! Cleaning and doing stuff the kids want to do. I desperately needed some new shoes yesterday (old ones falling apart) and they hated going so played up.

I only get to see bf once a week-ish cos we're both lps. We both have kids every weekend. Neither of us wants a moulded family.

Feeling fed up today. Anyone else?

Yes I'm fed up my dad came round my house and saw my dh but naked in the shower.

Just Mix wine with lemonade and drink it that's what I do.

TBH I think if you compromise and have 2 dry days a week (whenever you can handle it) that should keep your bf happy

Totally with you.... told husband that dry (alcohol-free) equated to dry (no sex) for him... we are drinking a lovely red and he agrees that I am far more civilized. *I feel the need to also let you know that I have been dieting seriously for two years. TWO BLOODY YEARS! He might have been eating chocolate cake when he suggested going alcohol-free - and I might have been holding the cheese-grater.
