I have my kids full time and they have never spent a night at their father’s house since we split many years ago. I put a vent on a single parents group as my children are very clingy and still follow me around the house even though they are basically almost teenagers but quite a few comments told me I shouldn’t complain as some people have lost children so I should lucky?! So we can’t vent now if it’s all a bit much? This was a single parents group so I wouldn’t have expected those comments and thought more people would understand I wasn’t moaning about my children just saying I find being followed around difficult and sometimes want 5
minutes to myself. But kept getting told I am lucky or enjoy as they grow up soon probably by people who have involved exes so don’t know what it’s like to not share parenting with anyone. Now I feel awful and like I can’t vent because others have lost children.

Not allowed to vent anymore it seems.
