so damn tired

[Unlikelyamazonian]

I want ds to go to bed. I am so bloody tired. there is no let up. I know it's selfish but I want to stay up and order a takeaway but he is still up and I just cant bring myself to put him to bed because then I miss him and feel shit for putting him to bed. so am stuffed either way.

feel fat or feel shit
or feel fat and shit

or feel thinner and shit
and bored

I need to get a life

Oh, I know how you feel. It is the end of the week, and you can finally let yourself feel just how tired you are.

my suggestion:
Put ds to bed.
Order/eat your takeaway.
Soak in a nice, hot bath.
Put on clean pjs
watch some rubbish Friday night telly
Go to bed reasonably early so you can wake up refreshed and ready to enjoy your time with ds.

Hang in there. Even though you don't feel like it, you're doing great.

I have 2 of my 5 away on sleepovers tonight!!

3 boys will be easy and I have a bottle of wine in the fridge, but boy are we all tired!!

your boy is SERIOUSLY cute UA!!

DS wouldn't sleep tonight either so after he headbutted me in the nose (thanks for that!!) I gave up and put him in the pushchair and left him there - asleep in 5 minutes! Makes me wonder why I bother...

Yes he is gorgeous, love the hair

Bloody hell, that head/nose things hurts, doesn't it?

I honestly think the worst thing about being a single parent is the tiredness. I don't think anyone who hasn't been alone with a child/children for any length of time has a clue.

Just as well we're all so fantastic really

The tiredness does get me - I have no idea why I am even tired today anyway, I ended up falling asleep trying to get him to sleep last night so I must have been asleep by about 8 or 9. (Must stop staying up until 1am on mumsnet the rest of the time )
