Hi, Just want to get it all out really.

I feel like i've hit rock bottom at the moment. I think all the worry about DD being ill for over 2 months has something to do with it. I'm a full-time student and work part-time, really need the money, as DD nursery fees have gone up again. DD behaviour can be very trying at times, i think shes a tad OCD. where DD has been ill i've missed lectures, some of which i needed to attend to be able to get notes for my assignment. I feel no-one in RL listens to me, i think sometimes i'd get more sense out of a brick wall. I always try and please people and put myself last (iykwim). I never done to well at school, so i put alot of pressure on myself to excell and exceed expectations, even tho i know i'm top of my class and got distinctions in everything so far. I don't need ppl getting on at me for not smiling every second of the day. I just feel i've got the world on top of me. DP is brilliant, there are sometimes when i think he could be a little more sensitive and listen to me, but i know he needs his space and outlet too. we are also putting a new fitted bathroom in so our house is a mess, which i know it will be till finished, which is one thing i wish DP would get on and do, instead of getting home and not doing anything. Its all getting me down, i don't want to feel like this. It doesn't help that i've got a chest infection too.

just needed to get things off my chest sorry its long.

Also, are there things you can do with DD that you find relaxing too? With DS1 it's snuggling up in bed with the laptop, a dvd and snacks (and now DS2 feeding and snuggling too )

Effie thank you I've worked very hard on my course so far, and determined to qualify as a legal exec. I can't not work, besides i still need to be a little bit independant from DD & DP if that makes sense.

DD doesn't like snuggling and laying in, she'd rather be up and about causing havoc lol.
I took DD for a rise on her bike to a friends whilst i went to pay a few bills etc. the fresh air was good but i've agravated my back and hip condition, so in quite a bit of pain at the mo lol.

We don't have much money (which is a tiny worry) so feel a little guilty that in this half term i've not been able to take her anywhere exciting.

you're a brave woman - I don't venture out with DS (2) on his trike without backup or we end up having Words halfway home

the legal course sounds like a very good thing - adding to your skills with the economy as it is is canny

yeah my back and feet are killing me today too since i was at a hill fort the other day~old age in my case lol
have you got gps to babysit your dd at all?
btw had a really lovely day with my ds2 today he was so sweet and i know its not they're job to make us happy[blah blah] but it has actually made me feel really happy esp after last weeks calamities

MuppetsMuggle · 20/02/2009 08:06

Effie - we did have words on way home (bribery works a treat lol) she got sweets for riding all the way home lol.

I love my course and can't wait for next year, esp as i'll already know alot as opposed to new people starting the course.

MS - i'm old too, at 26 , DD godparents both work, DD grandparents both work, my sister works but wouldn't look after DD anyway.
Glad you had a good day with DS yesterday, its nice when they make you happy.

I'm in abit of a 2 and 8 at the moment, trying to get childcare for an hour & half each day beginning 2/3/09 for 2 weeks as on work experience and with DD finishing pre-school at 3pm, i might be in court so need someone to collect her. so another thing having to think about lol.
