feeling like a hopeless mum

feeling down at the moment and that I can't do anything right. I have a three year old little boy who can be a handful at times, but is just a little scallywag who I'm sure is just doing what three year olds are supposed to do but I feel like everyone is judging me when he misbehaves. It is taking over my life I can't think straight imagining that everyone dreads us going to their house and imagining that nursery dread him going. I am frightened to ask if he has been good at nursery in case they tell me that he hasn't. When I am having a good day I can see that this is not the case and that I am being irrational but I am not eating or sleeping properly and am very emotional all the time. I am sure that my friends and family are sick of me which is why I have written here. I am already on ad's as I had a problem five months ago when he went through a week of lashing out at nursery but this was solved after one week and has been fine ever since. I think I lost confidence in him then and cannot seem to get it back. Does anyone else feel like this or is it just me? Sorry to go on but it is good to talk without feeling guilty about upsetting people around me.

there is an official tax credits website and i think they have a section where u can calculate how much u may be entitled to,or u can ring the helpline and they will work it out without u having to give any personal details.i know that most people are entitled to something.

Hi..just a little word of advice with tax credits...they are fab, but you have to keep on top of them and your circumstances....I was assessed and the amount they awarded me wasn't worth the amount of time getting paperwork together....so I called them and told them, they reassesed and I was awarded quite a lot more....I ring as changes occur, then I am usually in the posistion where they owe me money, not the other way around!

Good luck.
