Have just had a bereavement in the family.

Not getting much sleep with DS coughing with a chest infection and I lie awake worrying about him and I'm giving him his inhaler in the night. He's been off school for 3 days.

Xmas approaching and I've not done much prep and I'm hosting.

Just had a go at DH for something I could have said calmly in private later tonight and he obviously got defensive and hurt and we rowed.
He says it's ok but I feel so guilty. I nit-picked as I feel like things are out of control atm and that unsettles me. I've done this before recently and have just realised.

Feel awful now tbh! Feel like I get so anxious when DC are ill. DS2 had Covid for a month last year and coughed for 4 weeks so it's all coming back.

How many are you hosting? Is it possible to change this and just have a small relaxed family time? Doesn’t sound like your son is up to visitors anyway

Only 3 extra so 7 of us in total. It's fine really. The family will all chip in. Got an Asda shop coming for it.

It's more my anxiety and overthinking but there's been a lot to think about and keeping a poorly little one at home in the freezing weather has been hard.

I feel crap about how I took it out on DH.
