I have Chronic fatigue syndrome and I am really struggling at the moment to parent my two daughters (8 and 6) and have time to rest. I am divorced from their dad he sees them every other weekend. I do have a long term partner we have been together 2.5 years. I work 20 hours a week 8am-12pm meaning I can drop them off and pick them up from school, whilst having a rest in the afternoon before pick up. All in all I actually find the week days manageable. But the weekends are another story. My 8 year old daughter is Autistic and as long as she is in a routine and has lots of craft materials she’s pretty good at entertaining herself. My 6 year old however is incredibly needy. She has to be with me all the time. She’s not toilet trained (not from lack of trying) and requires a lot of attention. Shes on the waiting list for support as we have already seen a paediatrician, health visitor, school nurse and incontinence service about support. I feel like looking after my 6 year old is a full time job and feel sorry for my 8 year old that she gets forgotten a lot. I try to do activities with both of them but they just end of falling out every time. Can anyone give me some ideas of what I could do to keep them both entertained and feel like them have my attention while I also can get some rest? I feel like I should be enjoying my weekends with them but really I just feel sad I don’t have the energy and I’m constantly just thinking when can I rest next.
