okay, i just sobbed for 20 mins with no one but ds in the house after an only mildly irritating phone call with my mother. worried that i'm crying too much

I have a mother I love dearly but who can wind me up hugely, BUT I've found in the last few months that a standard annoying phone call with her can leave me in tears. And even at other times, nothing to do with her, I'll keep bursting into tears. I work from home and have a 1 year old, who just looks at me while I cry and then hands me a building block. But its dawning on me that I shouldn't be just bursting into tears for no reason at all at this stage, should i? And it can't be good for ds to see him mum get upset like that.

Nails on a blackboard. What a great way of describing it. Ds also makes sure he picks out his favourite blue block to hand to me as well. He is a darling.

Bless!!

Mumpbump - so sorry about your mother. IT must be awful.

Thanks, oranges!

And thanks to you too, dinosaur!
