Shitty mother

I posted on here last week. My husband lost a significant amount of money in a scam.

The backfire of this is me being a shitty mother. Any thing that happens, I feel unable to cope and have shouted all day. I never shout 😢.

Final straw was when my son accidentally tipped the potty over and soaked the entire cream carpet through.

I just want to get over this as soon as possible.

@RodiganReed

Thank you. I just feel so low and unable to function right now. It's really hitting home

My husband has gone to work in London for a few days and I have the kids. I feel like they're beating the brunt of it all 😞

You poor pet.

That sounds dreadfully upsetting.

The rug and your security whipped from under you.

Irrespective of his intentions I would be beyond upset as well.

I think you need to be as kind as possible to yourself.

Do the least you can get away with too.
Give the children a hug and get them up to bed promptly.

Is there anyone you can confide in IRL.

This is a lot to take in, process and try and get over.

I really feel for you.

Can't help with your family issues but I'm a bit of a cream carpet expect, bicarbonate of soda, give the wet patch a wipe over with carpet shampoo, when it dries sprinkle bicarb on it, leave it a while then hoover it up, any stains mix some bicarb into a paste and work it in the stain, hoover when it's dry.
Hope your home situation improves, don't beat yourself up ❤️

Thank you. I really appreciate this. They're both now in bed.

I feel so shit for raising my voice and all my eldest keeps saying is 'Mummy, you're sad, be happy'. 😞

I appreciate the positive comments. The negative ones on the last thread nearly tipped me over.

I have friends IRL, they just don't quite understand. I'm the first to marry, with kids - I've been lucky so far in life. They're great, I just don't want to moan to people either 😞.
