I know what you mean about every single thing being down to you.

Am even considering oncea month batch cooking then labelling containers with 1 - 31 so there are no decisions to be made about dinners. Just one less thing (don't thing it would work in realilty Smile ).

I'm a single mum to a month old baby and I'm exhausted. I had a c section and still very weak. People keep telling me to take it easy and rest, to not worry about the housework, that a bit of dust is fine. Well, if you don't do the housework, what happens? It piles up and becomes unmanageble so you can't just leave it! I have no family close by to help out. I have tried to maintain on good terms with my child's father but he is a controlling, manipulative a**hole. It's bloody hard being a single parent and unless you're lucky enough to have good friends or family to help you out then it can be a nightmare.

Tanito279 · 09/08/2015 20:13

Me too! I'm lying here on the sofa with the TV on in the back ground thinking .....
I wish I could have another baby.
WTAF! Confused Like I could cope with 2. Obviously slap happy and slightly drunk ???? I must add that my dd sleeps 11 hours per night it's just me who stays awake.

woowoo22 · 09/08/2015 20:33

Thanks and Brew sarah, that sounds so hard.

I blame sleep deprivation for want more kids crazy thoughts Grin

Well I'm knackered because I'm an old single mum to a toddler, I work in a stressful job and my DM is ill so I'm trying to help her too...
I end up staying up late as it's the only time I get to myself and to get a bit of headspace. I'm permanently knackered and my place is a tip Confused
But hey-ho, things could be worse I could still be with bastard ex

Kizzikaz · 16/08/2015 18:16

You aren't alone. It's hard but you'll get there. I did. No sleep till my son was 5 Smile

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 19/08/2015 11:06

My DD is 17. It does get better, in that at least you get some sleep, but they want you to pick them up at stupid-o-clock at night from work, and you daren't leave them to their own devices. She went to a party, came back by taxi (strict instructions to trave with friend) and I didn't sleep until she got in, then it took me half an hour to settle and go to sleep, So the strings are still attached, they're just on elastic Grin
