So sick of it

[allgonebellyup]

Life as a lone parent just seems to drag on and on..work/kids/clean/shout/bed then do it all over again the next day. The kids just seem to fight and cry all the time.
Sorry, just needed to moan.
Ds was meant to be going away with his dad this weekend so i could go out for 2 nights, but his dad has cancelled. And ds also very upset.

Sorry you're feeling down :( I'm not a lone parent but have lots of friends that are, and unless you have family around to babysit then it can be lonely. Do you have any friends that can help? Or family?

There's so many of us who know how you feel and it is so hard sometimes, but honestly things will get better for you one day !

Do you ahve any friends who could come round with a bottle of wine and a chance to have a few drnks and a laugh? That's what kept me sane for the last 3 years - if XH knew I was even thinkign about goign out he would cancel.. HAve now moved well away and am near my parents so I do get to go out now but always hate asking them to babysit. OUr time will come though! take acre and sorry you're feeling down - as it's Friday x

yep, thats about how it feels for me too, and I am only 2.5 months into it. (sigh)

It's not easy, don't be ashamed of admitting it. People who are in relationships also feel the same way sometimes as I found out in my baby massage class! Maybe you should try and find an outlet. If you can get dad to babysit on certain evenings then try taking up a dance class or some other activity.
I'm a single parent too and I go to dance every week.... helps me stay more positive and feel good about myself. Although I can understand how hard this is if he's not being particularly helpful at the moment x
