Hi everyone
We got some really crappy news yesterday that after renting our house for almost 13 years, the landlady has decided she wants it back on 1st February. That's two weeks before my due date and so far she is refusing to let us go earlier if we find somewhere else before then. My other child was prem so there's a chance I could have this one early too or there's talk it could be a c section so I could be recovering from that and totally useless in terms of moving. I feel she's being really unreasonable especially given we've been really good tenants over the years - rent has always been on time, house is in a better decorative condition now than it was when we moved in (we've done and paid for everything ourself as she would never agree to pay for anything) - even the estate agent agreed that she's been very fortunate. Anyway, nothing I can do about it I don't suppose but I'm really stressed about it all. I was already on a few days leave from work because of bp issues and being run down and it feels like this is just pushing me to the limit, like anything that can go wrong is going wrong at the moment.
My other child (11) of course blames me for no valid reason other than he's been really resentful towards me ever since I told him he was going to be a big brother (years of "why can't I have a brother or sister?" When we couldn't conceive and then when it finally happens it's apparently the worst thing in the world and I've ruined his life). So I've had been more backchat than normal since yesterday, door slamming and what not but the worst is being told I never do anything for him and I'm lazy. He says this constantly and I know I shouldn't take it personally but I do because it couldn't be further from the truth. I work full time )in a stressful finance job) as well as doing pretty much everything in the house but because I've been really struggling with sleep at night lately and occasionally have an extra 10 minutes in bed in the morning, that's unforgivable. Anyone else had probs with older siblings like this?
Sorry that turned into a real rant, I just feel
Like I'm at the end of my rope at the moment. Has anyone else had to move with a due date being so close?
Thanks for listening
