My youngest has been sick through the night, I have sole custody and work full time and feel pretty exhausted. Today I was meant to be meeting friends and their kids and seeing family laster. Instead I'm at home with DS ( DD asked to go to her grans instead ) All my family are still getting together and I'm heartbroken. I don't think they get how lonely it can be on your own. I'm torn between wanting to go to my parents to see everyone with my little one or doing the sensible thing and staying at home. He's currently asleep while I feel sorry for myself. Am I being selfish?
