Things have been pretty shit. I'm completely overwhelmed by everything and have spiralled downwards a lot. I feel so alone and can't cope anymore. Feel like a terrible mother and like I'm not getting it right with any of them. I feel so lonely.

How are you magi? Hope you're really beginning to feel on the mend and back to your normal self.

I'm constantly amazing myself at what I am coping with that would have thrown me two years ago. It's very much one thing after another at the moment and yet I am keeping going and not falling apart.

P2 isn't herself at the moment and very on edge - hopbbg we can help her restore her equilibrium soon.

Mr P been away so no swimming-really hoping to get back to it this week.

There is a song for every situation!

Their loss, not yours. Two years ago, or so, you would have been in pieces over this.............

Look how far you have come.

But sorry that they have behaved in such a childish fashion.

So we came to blows....they actually stormed out and have gone home. I have reassured the pumblettes that they still love them v much and we then had a cracking afternoon together so there's a silver lining....

Let her clean - it's her problem not yours.

When DIL had the babe I asked her if she would be offended if I cleaned & think I was being critical of her standards.

She looked at me as if I had two heads & told me I could clean anything, anyhow, anytime! I am now known as Dobby!!!

So pleased you had a w/e away.

Sorry posted too soon.

Just back from a weekend away singing-great not to be a mum but very odd. My mum and dad are now here and my mother is very prickly at the moment and we are sure to come to blows and they're only with us 24 hours. She's currently doing all the cleaning I apparently haven't done up to standard..... (can you tell I'm feeling a bit fragile?'!!!!)

This had dropped off my list - sorry.

Have not been around much since back from France as had the cold from hell that has ended up with me having labrynthitis really badly - have spent most of the last week in bed & can't drive, swim etc etc. I think (all digits crossed) that it is slowly getting better. I don't think I have ever experienced anything as nasty in all my life.

France (seems an age ago) was lovely & PFGC is as wonderful as ever.

is my favourite swimming clip & the site, Total Immersion, has lots of inspiration.

Never forget that a mother's place is in the wrong, Pumble!! I was told how to give PFGC a bottle whilst I was there - something I'd obv never done in my life nor was capable of without instruction

I said nowt - PFGC has taught me tact

Well I've been swimming lots. It's not as good as running but it's good to get away. The noise level from the pumblettes is rather overwhelming at times!!
Just had p3s birthday-where has the year gone? P2 had another awful bedtime-lots of screaming and shouting. She finally went to sleep and I've now snuck in for a hug whilst she sleeps as hate her going to bed Angry.

It's funny Isn't it that sone days you can feel like you're doing ok as a parent and others feel like nobody has ever done as bad a job as you!

So, I've just lost what I had typed! I am ok thank you. Feeling the seasonal change with a cold. The course was great and now complete. Really pleased I did it.

Good to hear about the good days. Sleep deprivation is awful. Hopefully p2 had a better sleep and P3 is feeling better.

Good luck with the house search. Could you leaflet target streets saying you are in a position to buy? Might just work.

Sorry to hear P1 finds school so off putting. Is it something you can raise at parents evening? Maybe they could support raising her confidence or address what is driving P1s feelings.

As for swimming, that's something magi will have to cheer on, too much like hard work for me.

Row-how are you? How was/is the course? Are you finished now?

Funeral was good thank you. My mum seems to be channelling her grief at me which s hard work but at least I can understand why.....

Had some really good days with the pumblettes in recent weeks.... currently sitting holding p3 who's under the weather (and thankfully asleep again at least as he doesn't normally get up until 8:30) after p2 had nightmares much of the night and wow the sleep deprivation makes everything seem so much worse!!

House hunting a nightmare with nothing available-thinking we could just buy a big tent as live in that....

School still hard work for p1 too. We have parents evening soon and she's so terrrified of the teacher she doesn't want me to go.

Thinking of starting swimming-if only I can work out how to get to the pool when I actually awake and workaholic mr P around!!!

Hi pumble. How was the funeral? Sorry I have been away for so long. The hack oh-so-long-ago (usernames and passwords taken) was a prompt for me to come off mumsnet for a while. Looks like there have been a few ups and downs but magimedi has been there for you.
