Bad day in fact bad few day's

[keepingupwiththejoneses]

ds3 has been an absolute nightmare the last few days, really demanding and totally uncooperative. I have tried taking him out to do a few bit's both today and on thursday and both times have been awful. Ds has just screamed the place down as soon as we went in to the shop, he was head butting his pram and kicking out both times. I had to go today as we had ran out of anything he will eat. I usually have quite a thick skin but on both occasions I have felt like everyone is staring as a lot were, I did get a lot of tutting and whispers. I came home today and just sobbed. With everything else that is going on with him it is a nightmare.

Sorry you've had a few bad days. Will you be able to get any time to destress and relax a bit tonight? Feet up and glass of wine works here....

Oh that really doesn't sound much fun. Yep, the tutting and whispering really helps doesn't it!!!

I don't understand why people do this. It makes me so angry. I just don't understand when people can see you're having a rough time, why they would try and make you feel worse. Too many of them unfortunately. There was a lady on here a few months ago who was having a REALLY bad day and this older lady was tutting and just said to her friend(loud enough for mum to hear), children only behave like that when they're unhappy at home.

Can't believe people can be so ignorant.

Anyway, sorry you're feeling so low. Hope you're able to relax a bit tonight. I'd definitely second Triggles feet up and a glass(or 2)of wine idea.:)

Sorry you had such a tough time. I honestly think people who whisper and give you filthy looks are just stupid jerks with low opinions of themselves, hence having to look down their noses at anyonen to make themselves feel better.

But it is hard when that happens, you have my sympathy and am sending pixie dust in the hope things improve a wee bit.

Do you think our kids got some sort of memo from on High about meltdowns in grocery stores?!!!! They can be so good at them wink

eventually i'll learn the difference between wink and LOL!

Thanks girls, unfortunately my day got worse tonight, dh and I have just had a massive row about me not coping, he just doesn't get it. DS1 has massive problems, not sure if sn or not but has left home, DS2 adhd and struggling with moving to a big high school and DS3 who has severe asd, sld and possible adhd who doesn't sleep and is non verbal. DH thinks I should be able to just get on with it, manage on about 3 hours sleep and have a perfectly tidy house, while he goes to work through the week and goes out to the pub 1-2 nights a week and all saturday afternoon.

for you and sorry your Dh is sooo unsupportive. Don't know what else to say.

I'm sorry to hear about your DH. No idea what to say but as a mum of just one ASD child who can be hard work but is still young and is verbal (if not in a meaningful way) so not anywhere near as much work as what you are describing I know I could not cope on my own. I work in the City 4 days a week and that is like BEING ON VACATION!!!

Don't get me wrong, I adore my little princess but being in an office with someone making me tea,going to Starbucks when I feel like it and having meaningless conversations about Downton Abbey and the X Factor, this is all easy stuff.

Maybe your DH could take a week off work as holiday and stay home and do what you do. How often does he spend time doing what you do? Does he have any real concept of what you have to do?

I wish I could offer some helpful advice, will pray for him to open his eyes a bit more and see everything you are doing and carrying for your family.

oh nooo! man sometimes just think house is tidied, dinner cooked, kids content at a push of a button!

I had fever last night (after exhausting sleepless week of both DS having fever, ear infection etc) and my DH did all the running around and felt he deserved a gold medal this morning. I couldnt afford to be sick any longer as I know it will take me days to put the place in order
