Does anyone else get sick of those grandparents that have so much to say but are not involved in their children’s lives. My son has adhd, asd and an eating disorder and my daughter is showing traits of adhd and asd. I’m a single parent and have like two hours of sleep a night if that. My mother showed up today to complain about my sofa being a mess. My hoover has just broken and I’ve just moved home. Her and my dad have never offered once to have my children whilst I’ve moved, I’m trying to decorate and yet they both have their step children’s children. Today was the last straw she retorted that her and my dad were not to blame for the way I am. I was left to be brought up by a drug dealer as my mother had no interest in me and my father basically vanished when he remarried and only had something to do with us because my mother would show up with us at his house crying. I once had to stand there whilst they both came up with excuses arguing how he couldnt have me that weekend and she didn’t want me that weekend. I was 8 and could not understand how both of my parents didn’t want me . It’s really damaged me throughout adulthood and I struggle to be around the two of them. Sadly the drug dealer is the only parent I had who parented me and actually cared about me, despite what he did, he actually tried to look after me and spend time with me. My world crumbled when he died because he’s the only parent I had who actually wanted me even though he didn’t have to. I’ve had to cut both of my parents out of my life, they tend to criticise whenever they come round the house which is once or twice a year and they never both with the children. There excuse is you have plenty of time whilst the children are at school. My daughter goes to nursery two days a week and the school run for them both 7.30 set off to drop them off to get there for 9am and then 1 1/2 that for me to walk home then when I need to collect them I need to set off at 1.00 to get there for 2.30 to collect my daughter and go for my son. I also sometimes don’t get to go home as I have appointments at the school so I just wait the 20 minutes near the school for the meeting and then sometimes by the time that finishes I have to go for my daughter so I get no time to go home some days. I asked about school transport but without an ehcp in place that the school are holding up, I’ve told I’ll be declined so I’m debating about home educating as school are pushing my son out of the door and the admissions team have said there are no spaces in the area so I would need to travel which then leaves me in the same situation I am now and possibly the next school being his current school. I’m exhausted but my son is really struggling and seemed happier at the idea of home education. I’ll be putting my daughters name down at local nurseries to try and have more time to look at home education in September but I feel I have no choice. I just don’t know what else to do, it’s coming at me at all directions and I have carpets coming a week on Thursday and I’ve not even started decorating because I just have no time on top of housework and trying to get my daughter into bed then the battle of my son and then I’m up again to start the housework after two hours of my son sleeping. I feel like I need to vent more then advice but please any advice welcome
