Just been introduced to this site by a good friend of mine who I have just ranted to and got tearful with over the phone..
I guess my problem is I don't share my frustrations with people I know as i feel everyone around me has their back up against it right now..life isnt it?
Im on my own with my three (two girls 20 and 17 ) one 10yr old from second marriage (presently going through divorce for second time )and I find the whole dynamic of us is just not filling me with any happiness or peace.
i don't do enough of what i want as i don't like leaving him with them as he is ignored so essentially I have little help. No family near me.
I feel under strain and must be the only one at work who rarely looks forward to a weekend.

can't the 10yo be left with her older sisters so you could go out once a week?

I have no exp. of raising teenagers yet but could they be remunerated or as part of the pocket money/clothing money that you usually give them? Set them responsibilities to assist within defined behavioural parameters.

Sorry if this is useless advice just an idea!

So you can go out e.g. evening class/gym etc.
