To hate being at home in the school holidays?

I'm at home with my 4 year old and she's driving me crazy. She won't stop talking, I can't even listen to an audiobook.

Everytime I tell her to play in her room, she just follows me. I can't get much cleaning done and theres no point really as she keeps making a mess.

We cant go anywhere as theres nothing to do for free (no money atm) and it's raining so the park is off our list.

I feel terrible as well, because shes so inquisitive but I just really hate having to tell her why and what and how to nearly everything.

I wasn't going to reply, but a few people have asked.

We actually had a good time at the theatre on wednesday. DD did play up a bit and I decided to go back home afterwards and she was fine playing in her room for quite a while whilst I got dinner ready.

The last couple of days have been ok. I've had to leave out cleaning- the house is filthy at the moment- but DP has been keeping DD company when I've had to clean the filth.

We are having money problems at the moment, because ive had to pay off a massive court fine and DP has maxed out his credit card so we having arguments about that, but looks like things will sort themselves out soon.
