My birthday was Friday, when with exh it wasn't even acknowledged (his was of course) I never get a break and have two children one with SN and usually my holidays are used for half term with kids.
So I decided to book a day off and use my only present which I had been given weeks before (some cinema vouchers) and have a day to myself before a nice tea with the kids.
I was going to book the kids into wrap around care so that I could catch a film. I NEVER have a day to myself. Only a relative insisted they would have the children. I checked and double checked they were ok.
So fast forward to Thursday night, suddenly relative wants to come with me and won't have the dc.
Only she doesn't want to go the city I was going to and not on the day I have off.
Her suggestion was to go in the one thr forty minutes after work and before after school club ends.
So I spent my birthday alone in our flat feeling sorry for myself as no time to arrange childcare to go and nothing to open on the day.
Come tell me to get over myself
