can I mope and have sympathy and possibly a kick up the backside please...

[Meglet]

Ex p is in Benidorm with his childless mates this week getting bladdered and goodness knows what else. I am totally on my own for a few days as my family are on hols so I have no help with my toddler and baby. We'll muddle through ok but not sure what state the house will be in by the time my mum comes round again . I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, can you tell.

So ex p misses fathers day and is spending money he never seemed to have when we were living together .

Ah nevermind the house, it will wait.

Are your dc old enough to realise they won't see their dad on fathers day ?

Meglet - well done you for just getting on with it. NEver mind the house!

ds is 2.7 and dd is 9 mo. I think ds wonders where his daddy is (his visiting is rather erratic) but they are thankfully too little to be unsettled by it.

Mum did tell me not to over do it this week and she would help me blitz the place in a week . My mum is fab.

I hope ex p isn't having as much fun as he thought it might be, he's not a spring chicken anymore. We've been apart for 6 months now am i'm only just starting to miss him, I think I've been so busy it's taken a while to sink in.

You get sympathy from me but not a kick up the backside as it is not necessary.

The house will not suffer long term so just look after yourself and the little ones and worry about it later.

I hope he gets alcohol poisoning, runs out of money and gets buggered senseless by an unwashed benidormian of shire horse proportions.

Sorry, was projecting a little there...

LOL CKelpie. I am also hoping for a plague of jellyfish, stomach bug and delayed flight home. And drunk sunbathing culminating in sunburn.

I seem to have cheered up now .

ROFL CKelpie

My mum is also fab Meglet and if ever I go out and she is babysitting, I come back to a sparkly house

I think you should do as little housework as poss and get a nice treat for you and your dc.
