Anyone else having a crap day

[OnNaturesCourse]

and need somewhere to chit chat...

Come on in, I'll put the kettle on.

DP and I had a bit of a falling out last night, and I'm still feeling resentful today. Hate days like this. Especially when he seems to be acting like nothing happened.

I have been potty training my almost 3 year old son for 3 weeks and I know he knows what he’s doing but at least once a day i’ll Go and make lunch/nip to the loo/answer the door and he’s pooed on the carpet, the table?!, the sofa, etc and I AM DONE.

So I put him back in a pull up today and I feel like i’ve Failed him.

I’m just so sick of piles of wee and mashed in poo all over my house because he thinks it funny.

today i have seen a solicitor about my impending divorce, and later i have a three hour drive to drop off dc to grandparents. also i am pre-menstrual. so i am grumpy as anything. it sucks. for everyone who's also having a rubbish day

Yup. We've just moved to a new city and DS is having a terrible time settling into his new nursery. He cried for 2 hours yesterday apparently. I feel awful leaving him and going on a 2 hour commute to work. I'm also in the last couple of weeks of my current job and am being utterly blanked by senior management. I feel like I'm wasting my time when I could be with ds.

I've had horrific diarrhoea for almost 12 hours now and every single muscle in my body is in agony.

I can't remember feeling this shit ever.

And Dh isn't being particularly nice or sympathetic, I just want a nice word but he's slammed out of the house with ds saying 'I really hope I don't get this.'

Dp and I split up a few days ago. I’m struggling today. Ds is finding it hard too and keeps asking me if I will stop loving him too.

On the plus side, I’ve just had a McDonald’s and we are snuggled up in bed watching a film. I hope in a few weeks it will all be easier.

to everyone having a tough day x

I am in insane amounts of back pain and my period has just leaked onto my leggings and I won't be home until 7. I've found my people!

Pumpkin - that sounds horrific, and I would have reverted back to pull ups before now! Does DC have a potty reward chart or anything? I've heard those help..

Isuppose - hugs for you lady, thar sounds like a really tough time, and my moan feels completely over dramatic in comparison. I hope DC have a wonderful time with GPs.

Bear Fox - are you moving jobs to be closer to new home? Less commuting? I'm sure DC will settle, I was a very clingy child and struggled in nursery but I'm so glad my parents persisted or I'd never have coped when it came to school etc.

Stimmy - feel better soon, and I hope DP catches it as payback for his attitude! Although in saying that no doubt you'd end up looking after him.

Flying - I am really sorry to hear that. Massive hugs to you and DC. (I'm now in the mood for Mcds!)

Qum - oh no! Is there anywhere to buy a cheap change of trousers? Nothing worse, definitely treat and be kind to yourself today.

To top my complaints off I have just started getting symptoms of thrush, DC won't leave me long enough to even pee, DC woke up mid way through my shower so I'm sat all wet haired (pretty sure there's still shampoo in there too) while DC destroys the nursery and sooks a wipe - anyone else's DC love wipes for some reason.

I swear that last post had spaces etc. Damn MN app. 😡

ah mate that reminds me i thought i had thrush brewing the other day. i'm hoping my period will knock it on the head. is that even a thing that happens? i'm gonna go ahead and hope! don't feel overdramatic. rows are horrible and i hate that lack of acknowledgement too. i hope the atmosphere lifts for you.

flyingsaucers - we are five months from "d"h abrupt departure from the family home and dd (5) tells me now she is "still sad sometimes but getting used to it". they are very resilient. hang in there my lovely it'll be alright

Isuppose Yes! I've had thrush symptoms either brought on or cured by my period. Really strange. Ever since I had DC thrush has had strange symptoms and effects on me.

Yep. After lots of mind games, ghosting then mixed messages, I think the end is nigh with my DH. I've cried so much in the last month I literally have nothing left. He is away with work yet again after we had a big row last night.. there's no going back we both know it. Just nearer getting to that point of realisation and accepting it's over IYSWIM.

I feel so ill I want to cry. Luckily I have an understanding boss.

He doesn’t have a chart that’s a good idea. My husband has a week off in a couple of weeks so we might go pull up free from then and restart with a reward chart.

He’s been rewarded with chocolate buttons but apparently pooing on the carpet is more fun than being given something sweet!

I've spent three days rowing with my partner via text whilst he's on holiday and I have to leave to collect him from the airport in a bit. It's a huge chunk of a previous child-free work day where I could actually be doing some much needed research and I wouldn't mind at all if it was a happy reunion, but I think it'll just carry on in the car

Precious, not previous. Gah.

Room for a little one?
Had an argument with DH two days ago and it's still annoying me! I'm on mat leave and have a routine with DS, EVERY weekend he comes in and fucks it all up! Saturdays aren't too bad as it's a shopping/visiting day yet on a Sunday it all goes to shit.
Also trying to sort money out for going back to work (early because we can't afford for me to be off much longer) and I'm doing everything.

Seems to be a lot of trouble coming from other halves! 😔 Must be something in the air.

Part of me wants to tell DP to shove off, but I need him, I still love him, but I also need him to see what I'm going through.

Re the Potty Reward Chart - I've seen it done that they collect stars over X amount of days and if they get one every day they'll get a day out / treat. You could throw in same sweet treats each day too.

WooYa... I feel you. 😑 DP doesn't get the routine DC has, and after nearly a year doesn't seem to pick up on DC moods / needs. Like DP will get all annoyed as DC is fussing and ill ask if hes changed the nappy since I last did it...and he will be like, no I didn't think of that. 🤔 Like, seriously?! It's no rocket science.

He drives me crazy! I'm literally trained to look after children so I know what I'm doing, yet everything he says is right, of course! DS is being weaned so is having little bits of fruit/veg I've blended and on Sunday at 8.45 he's starting to whinge for breakfast (usually at 9) so I ask what DH has took out of the freezer for breakfast. I've never seen someone look so clueless 😐
I'd love him to be me for the day... just to cope with everything! I've also sat there with half washed hair (and forgotten about it so it's gone all slimy and crusty) and he gets to come home then spend 20 minutes on the toilet then have a bath ALONE. Bastard.

My 4 y/o is a grumpy madam at the moment, has been for a few days. We've come to DM's for a week and she's ramped it up to 1000, even being rude to DM, who she usually adores. Not constantly but enough. Then she flips and turns into an absolute angel! Currently doing the washing up with DM, chatting and being sweet.

And 5 week old DS is resisting sleep (day and night). He wants to be held all the time which is fine, but my back is breaking from it. I'm suspicious of CMPA or similar (DD had it as a baby) but it's so difficult to get a GP to listen...

Yep. My DP comes home and pre baby was in and out shower in ten minutes. Now he comes in, winds up DC, and goes into the shower for half an hour while I'm cooking dinner and comes out and just sits at the table. He thinks he helps as on route to the table he'll pick up DC and put them in the highchair but then goes on his phone so I still have to entertain them while plating up dinner. Sits there all proud of himself.

Go on holiday tomorrow and the kids have been gits all day. Bickering, telling tales and a mighty tantrum from the youngest. Tired.

Tempted right now to leave them and go on the holiday on my own

Bloody men!
CoodleMoodle do you have a sling? And ring your HV. Mine got me an appt at GPS for DS's lactose intolerance (though they did nothing) and is great for shouting at people if I need her too Your DD's behaviour sounds typical for her age and the fact there's a new baby... it shouldn't last too long x

Yes...😩 My ds today completely flood out our whole kitchen...water everywhere, in the shelves, under the cabinets, all over the floor...I was just couple minutes upstairs with my dd. He is very lively and do need almost constant supervision.😥
Just had a glass of wine to calm down myself...

We've just emptied the loft and realised too late that the dump is closed until Thursday! The day we leave for our holiday!
