just wondering if this has been done before...

I have 2 Dcs (2 & 5) and am bringing them up by myself (H allowed to have phone contact only due to his fuck wittery {I love that phrase })

Sometimes its soooo hard doing it by myself

DS had parents evening today and although his comments from teachers were fab most all of the other parents were couples.

Sometimes it hits me that I have to do everything myself

Are we back to ideally keeping them in the cupboard under the stairs?

That'll do..

Why aren't there any good films on telly, Saturday telly is crap,is it because we're all supposed to be out getting rat arsed?

mmsmum · 12/02/2011 21:54

I agree telly is rotten, it's always rotten though.

What about one of those under bed drawers? You know, to keep him handy

Scorps · 14/02/2011 11:35

I seem to have accidentally got myself a male friend . Last night was fun....

sjm123 · 14/02/2011 13:38

Scorps - Ooooh! Sounds good :)

I'm currently ignoring stupid old Hallmark day, dancing round my flat singing along (loudly and out of tune) to Rob Zombie, whilst pretending that I'm actually doing some housework. Ahem.

taken4granted · 14/02/2011 14:23

can I join??? Its the hardest job in the world being a single parent with no let up hols early finishes and some times the pay is shambolic sometimes a kiss and a I love you is worth more than anything in the world but when you find you are the constant nagger those payback times comes few and far between Sorry I love my dd but sometimes I just wish her usless selfish git of a father would actually put her first and have her for a while and he can put up with the crap that I get on a dialy basis

Jellykat · 14/02/2011 19:09

Hello taken4granted

Scorps - You go for it,have fun like you should be

Now ladies, am currently shaking..
Give me some some strength please.

My mobile just beeped-i knew who it was without looking..
NNNNNnnnoooooo mmmmmoooore
It's been weeks,i've nearly got my head around being by myself,(although lonely as hell..)

Why the hell has he started texting again???

I cannot reply..headfuck!!!

simpson · 14/02/2011 20:14

jellykat - stay strong

Turn your phone off if you need to....

Scorps - are you going to see him again??

OP posts:

Scorps · 14/02/2011 20:35

Jelly - mine did that too, for a very long time. Stay strong, or change gis name in your mobile to 'do not reply' or something.

Oh yes, I'm hoping so (to see 'J' again)

Scorps · 14/02/2011 20:50

My 90 year old grandad is very poorly :( in HDU. Mum & Dad coming home tomorrow.

Jellykat · 14/02/2011 20:56

I deleted it,I haven't replied.I deleted his number weeks ago,and his address,and his emails

It's just upset me,i don't know why..
I suppose it's logical, you can't 'mourn' the end, and get over someone, if they keep jumping out and shouting 'BOO'!

Sorry, just trying to work out why it effects me

Scorps..You've got 'The Grin' haven't you? Hee Hee..

Jellykat · 14/02/2011 20:57

Oh no x posted, bad timing..
So sorry Scorps

Scorps · 14/02/2011 21:07

I have, yes

it's ok, grandad's 90, y'know?

Jellykat · 14/02/2011 21:18

I know.. The same happened to my dear 'Yaya' [Greek for granny] 18 months ago..
