Purely venting. I absolutely hate weekends . My DC has sen and behavioural issues and I usually spend the weekend on buses shuffling him between activities to keep him busy / wear him out . This weekend he was sick so we’ve been stuck inside the house the entire time . Now , I usually feel absolutely knackered at the weekend managing him and his schedule but at least if we do enough he sleeps a bit .
he’s been on full volume , constant tics , full throttle all weekend with almost no sleep. I’ve patiently and kindly done all I can save for hiding in the bathroom a few times for a quick cry. Our house is too small and his father being around makes it so much worse , it’s a tiny tiny house and I suffer from hypersensitivity with sound so having both of them going with screens , voices , coughs , demands has just about broken me.
tonorrow at 7:45 am big noise and little noise will be off to work and school respectively and I shall sit in a completely silent house for a couple of hours before I have to start work at 10am. And I’m not sorry , that is the absolute highlight of my week these days.
I never thought I’d dread weekends and long for Mondays but here we are!

go on tell me how odd and ungrateful I am to have a family ….

That sounds incredibly tough. Enjoy your peace and quiet tomorrow morning, you deserve it!

In your shoes I would also be glad the weekend is over.

I love my husband and DCs so much but that drive to work on a Monday with no one talking at me is pure bliss!

Im extremely lucky to work part time so come Thursday and Friday when I don’t work and I take the DC to school and come home and have the first cuppa in peace….indescribable! (I feel I need to say that youngest DC only started school
in September so I finally have child free days after 7years!!!)

Not unreasonable at all. That all sounds incredibly hard.

Passmethecrisps · 20/11/2022 21:27

I can’t think of a single person with a scrap of empathy who would think you were unreasonable.

neurotypical family life is loud and noisy and exhausting. Supporting a wide spectrum of needs with such little rest and no respite sounds desperately hard. Enjoy your hour of peace

YANBU. I feel the exact same. DS also has SEN and we've had the most awful weekend.

Roll on tomorrow. 🙈

I’m sorry you’ve had the same . I’m wishing you a peaceful night and a good week. I’ve just checked DS once more and confirmed 24 hrs free of fever and inflammation and done a very Merry little jig that he’s fit for school tomorrow . He’s still pacing up and down the stairs mumbling about transformers but he’s slowing down so he should be asleep fairly soon. I’ll stop searching for my credit card and passport I think 😂

I get you OP. It sounds mad but getting to Monday again. Bliss. My head buzzes with the noise if you get what I mean. Love my son dearly but going to work is a break. I work in healthcare with patients who are demanding but it is more manageable. I can step out for a minute to gather my thoughts.

Thankfuckitsmonday · 20/11/2022 21:44

Thanks for the kind response . I needed it . I feel so guilty at times for wishing family time away . DS and DH are my world but they are a noisy chaotic world and I sometimes would like to be somewhere else .
