think I'm losing it!

[vmcd28]

I'm 27w tomorrow, and feel as if I'm going off my head. We have building work going on, so the house is thick with plaster dust. The work has a few weeks left, then we're having the whole downstairs refloored. And a deck built in the garden. I'm sick looking at it all cos it's already taken 2 months longer than expected. Ugh. I work from home, so I'm constantly reminded of the mess, and all the chaos that still has to be put right.

On top of this, ds started school last week, and altho he lives it, he's turned into a cheeky sod. I went mad at him this morning cos he was taking so long to eat breakfast and get dressed.
I'm calmer now, but at the time I was struggling to breathe properly. I feel like I'm losing it completely!!!!!!

Sorry you are having a bad time. My DS is playing up, too, although I am not expecting and there is no building works at home.

Let us share a nice cup of tea

My ds also turned very cheeky when he first started school. He just got a 'I am big now mummy, so I will do what I like' attitude for a while.

I feel your pain... well, the bits re the house...

We have JUST got our flat back together last weekend after having loads of work done... I am now 35 weeks and, until Sunday, there wasn't even anywhere in the flat to sit down, apart from our bed (although I had to literally climb an obstacle course to get to the bed - tripped over 4 times in the night for bathroom trips) and the loo. Everywhere was thick thick thick with dust too. In all our drawers etc. It was at the stage where I had to wear the same outfit to work for a week last week because I couldn't access any of my clothes - they were all in the furniture piled up in the middle of the room under dust sheets. Arrrgh!!!

Finally, all has come together though (apart from a major plumbing leak from the flat upstairs - sigh).

You'll be fine!!!!!

Just wanted to share your pain - I'm 28 weeks with DS2 and we're in the middle of having an extension and new bathroom - its driving me mad and I'm getting very irrational about it and just want the builders to go - I keep getting cross with DH for ever thinking this is was a good idea. We went away for a week and when we got back after a 7hr drive found the lounge thick in dust (they had bashed a whole in the wall without telling us - if we had known they were going to do this we'd have dust proofed our stuff) - I went into melt down with DH needless to say he knew I wasn't best pleased.

My DS1 starts school in three weeks - so it looks like I'm in for fun there too!!

Defo lost it here (if anyone finds it please let me know).

Hope it comes together for you soon

Wow, our circumstances are almost identical! Age of sons and stage of pg included! Same to you - hope it all sorts itself out soon! X
