poor minifluffycat 
themidwife your DS sounds like me with 4am cooking 
I had a rubbish evening. Was meant to do loads of studying today - did NONE none whatsoever *sigh
went ALL over London, achievning nothing except I bought an -another anatomy book, then saw ex P
who reduced me to tears for 2 hours, has written DS out of will, has rewritten history in his booze addled cerebrum, hallucinating and so forth, and was utterly vile vile vile, then sat in a pub by myself (crying a bit, and exasperated) then went home...
l.o.s.e.r. 
his parents are still insisiting on their visit kitty I have often had a finger-wagging treatment from his dad, I leave feeling like cr*p but they have never been to my place before. they are absolute troublemakers they said I needed a SS referral because I am a medical student ---- and then they went and did it
I am a perfect parent (insofar as that is possible) but they said it's not suitable to be studying medicine and being a mum and I should prioritise my son (where's their work ethic!). so I said, no, working nights.. and they said, well come first thing in the morning
so I said no, they replied, we are coming or are you hiding something, so Ireplied saying, not hiding anything jst very very busy - and now they are coming for sat lunch [sobs] and all they will do is have a go at me. nothing I ever do is right (they told me to leave P, then I did, and then they attacked me for being a single parent...etc)
sorry - grumpy cafe
