To feel a bit sorry for myself this year?

[SleepyDopeyGrumpy]

Am sitting on sofa under a blanket on my own, the kids are in bed but not asleep they keep playing up and getting up driving me mad.
Have got wine and chocolate cake but cant touch either until kids are asleep and just generally feel rather sad that im going to end the year on my own feeling down.

YANBU.

Am not alone (DH in his office) but i feel so sad and alone tonight as this time last year i was saying bye to my dad for the last time, he died on the 7th jan this year.

Have a glass of cyber champagne with sad gits like me who are on mumsnet on NYE and get an early night when the kids are asleep. It's just another night and tomorrow's another day

Sorry to hear that lizziemum, Im not sure why i expected tonight to be any different, donkeys right its just another night but guess i thought my so called friends wouldn't have left me alone tonight.

It's rubbish to feel like you're the only one alone on NYE.
I'm another one, DH at work and kids upstairs in bed and no one invited me to theirs / come to mine.

However I've just been given a kick up the bum to stop feeling sorry for myself by reading the saddest thread in bereavement and am now going upstairs to kiss my sleeping DC and wish them happy new year.

Don't mean to make you feel bad, mumsnet just sometimes makes you more aware of what you've got.

Get stuck into the wine and choccies anyway. You will find you mind less as the night wears on, ime.

Happy New Year ladies.

My DM told me a depressing fact today - in a heartbeat the DC's will be off doing their own thing and you can reign free.

Or tag on to their parties

Lol yes give it 15 years and ill be inviting myself to house parties of the boys friends lol

SleepyDopeyGrumpy I know just how you feel, DH and I went out to a friends house earlier with the DS (3 years) and DD (8 weeks) I brought the DC home at 9.40, while DH went out with friends, I fed DD and put DS to bed, settled DD and by that time it was 10.40, it's now 1.23 over where I am, now I'm not asking for much, I don't really care that he's chosen to go out with friends rather than come home with me and the DC, but I did stupidly expect a text or phone call at midnight. In the 11 years we've been together this will be the 3rd NYE that we've been apart and the other 2 were because he was working abroad.
I feel really down and fucking pissed off, I feel like I'm not even worth a 30 second phone call, either that or he's blind drunk and lost his phone, and will be home god knows when, I feel pissed off at always coming last.

lizziemum, sorry, our posts crossed so it made mine seem a bit flippant. Sorry you are not having the best of times, to you and to Sleepy. Only 20 mins to go (E'll avoid watching drunken people singing Auld Lang Syne on tv - I find all that deeply depressing)

Home in the sun I'm not sure where you are but in the UK the mobile phone networks are all totally overloaded on NYE basically through until the morning proper. He's probably tried to call but can't get through

Happy New Year x

Happy new year sleepydopeygrumpy

sorry if I sounded unsympathetic earlier, the tears were streaming down my face after reading the other thread and I'm menstrual.

You've all been much better company for me this evening!

You didnt sound bad at all you were spot on, glad your feeling ok

I can't remember the last time I spent NYE with my OH, as he always has to work as a trade off for getting Christmas off. Last year I had a lovely eveing watching Chocolat on the telly, eating chocolate & drinking wine. This year my parents (who only live in the next street) announced that they couldn't be bothered to go out like they usually do with my aunt & uncle and so I invited them round here, but they said no, they couldn't be bothered (how special do I feel?!)

So instead I let the kids stay up a bit later, played a couple of board games with them and then got stuck into the household accounts and next year's budget - how sad am I?

DonkeyDerby is right - it's just another night...

angelene he called me at 2am to wish me happy new year because it would be 12 in the UK, I then reminded him we weren't in the uk. Think he's just thoughtless. oh well new day, new year and new decade things will change.

HI,

I know the feeling too. We couldnt get a babysitter so I stayed home with lo who was in bed at 715. Dp went to a partY at a friends and although I didnt expect him home before midnight I did expect him home not long after as he had to be at work at 830am, instead he rolled in at 220am. DD was up a lot in the night and I couldnt sleep due to all the noise outside( was in bed by 1130) so ended up having about 3 hours sleep, ended up on the sofa for a few hours then was up at 730 to get him to work!!!
Just thought what a great start to 2010 but still its only another night.

So sorry to hear about your dad Lizziemum.
