OK, my week - (i) i took DS (7 mnths) to nursery, for settling in, and i thought the nursery was Ok when we looked round, but now I've spent time there settling him in i think its awful, with a massively high staff turnover, and all the other babies are older than him, stare into space looking glum, don't smile or babble and seem like they are in prison (ii) my little sister had an abortion and i don't know how i can talk to her about it - shes 24 and hasn't told me in person about it, but has told my mum (iii) we have been doing up our tiny flat to sell, and everything is everywhere. Literally I can't change DS's nappy without climbing over things (iv) its my birthday and I have never felt less birthday-ish (v) i'm going back to work v soon.

blimey. that's a lot going on..... try to think about the different things separately perhaps? better than being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff on your plate..... how do you feel about returning to work (assuming you could sort the childcare issue out)?

Oh dear Pls. Sorry you're having such a rotten time. I would wish you a happy birthday but I don't want to sound glib when you've got such difficult things to deal with.

Can't solve anything for you, but didn't want to read and not say anything.

crickey, pls, sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I agree with controlfreaky about taking one thing at atime.

Don't worry about ds's nursery for now- they may all be having an off week, but if things continue to look bad, could you try somewhere else before he's too settled?
Just try talking to your sister. Maybe thinking about how to talk to her is worse than actually doing it, iyswim.
Birthdays are usually rubbish (ime!), so give yourself a couple of days then treat yourself to a massage or a manicure or something to cheer you up

firstly HAPPY BRITHDAY!.

secondly. if you no longer like the nursary dont send him.

3rd - if your sister had a termination then it was undoubtedly a very difficult decision for her and you should respect teh fact that if she hasn't told you she probably doesn't want you to know.
if she chooses to speak with you about it then be supportive. whatever your feelings about abortion it has no bearing on hoe she felt and is probably still feeling.

4th - your house is a mess now but you are building a beautifull home for youand your family. it may take time but when its finished it will all be so worth it.

oh..and HAPPY BIRTHDAY again
