Am almost 6 months pregnant and SPD just started, DH works 12 hour days and is only off on weekends, we are moving on Saturday so still have ALL the packing to do (always do everything at the last minute!) and have no money left due to aforementioned move. The DCs are going to have such a shite time off school and I feel terrible because of it .
Normally we would have gone to stay with family but can't because of the above. Normally I would have done fun things with them like going for bike rides and for days out but can't because of the above (obviously can't ride while this pregnant and am very peed off about it!). Normally I would put them in some sporting activities but can't because of no money! We have no family nearby (nearest is two hours away and I can't stand them!) and we do not see the DSs (age 8) friends during the holidays as I have never really got friendly enough with the other mums to arrange something. DD is 13 and will not bugger off out to play with her mates and only wants to go on bloody facebook (apparently all her friends are staying at home on facebook too, no one is doing anything over the holidays ).
So they are going to be home most of the time glued to the TV/computer, eating chocolate and being pretty bored. Why, oh why do I feel so sorry for them and like I'm letting them down??
