Honestly so sick of being a single parent, I've already been in tears today and it's not even 10am over how horrible and rude my children are to me, so much for kids will grow up and realise who was there for them and who did everything for them, I don't even believe that. It's my son's birthday today, I've gone above and beyond for him to have a nice day. He wanted a photo cake as he draws things online and I said we could get one printed onto a cake for him, went to 2 different Asda stores and both the machines wasn't working, so went to a 3rd all in all this took 4 hours as I don't drive so it was by public transport so I didn't let him down. Only for him to wake up today and be so rude and nasty to me for no reason. He was in a vile mood from the moment he woke up. I've spent a fortune on him for presents because I have no family so he won't receive anything off anyone else so sometimes I feel I have to make up for this. He has no involvement with his father who isn't interested in him and the thanks I get is rude and nasty attitude to me, why the hell do I bother? No kids do not grow up and appreciate you did everyone for them, they don't. That's a lie, maybe some do but most don't. I've brought him and his siblings up alone with no input from their father including financially and no family and all I have is ungrateful rude children.
