Since I got very very sick in November, it’s been none-stop for us.
Due to me being self employed and losing close to £3k over nov-dec, I have been trying to manipulate my time to allow me to do more in a day than is typical to make up some of the deficit.
Add to that my husband has a severe back condition that causes it to spasm periodically, and it has been on and off since Christmas, usually resulting in a few days where he does nothing around the house and I do everything.
Both of my children have been sick with various non catching things since January 8th, with either one or both of them off school each week. My oldest has ASD and frequently meltdown, resulting in days it isn’t safe for him to be in school, so his attendance is already really low. We have sick notes from the GP, but the EWO is getting involved because the school just list all absences together and don’t differentiate those kids on holidays (which I know a few classmates are away skiing as their photos are plastered on social media sites) and those who are genuinely sick.
I just want a break from the never ending merry go round of illness and go back to “normal”.
We have two amazing sets of parents, who love our children dearly and just want to spend time with them.
I feel so low currently and I struggle with depression anyway. So AIBU to just say I need a break now and ask for some help off grandparents?
