just found this!
yes ..is my husband's fault....i might as well be a single mum at the moment...as he can't do anything till his tendons have started to heal....i know he's not faking...but i am absolutely exhausted...
he'd usually bath the kids,pop round the shop when we run out of bread,chase the kids back to bed
and... cos he's around 24/7 he boys aren't able to have free run of the TV remote!!!!
he's normally out the house 7-pm weekdays....and sat or sun- golfing 11-4pm...so to be honest we're just not used to him being around!!!
talk about change of routine etc!!! Added to which in the past month we had complete garden fenced...heating system fitted and attic insulated...heating broke down...i fixed it....heating broke down- radiator emptied over lounge carpet overnight...had to have plumber out- so had to empty boiler cupboard agin so he could access it!
and to put the icing on the cake...something i thought would be fantastic (ds3 starting a 10 week intensive 'behaviour' course....) has after 2 days got me feeling it's gonna get far worse b4 it gets better! (after the first day his keyworker described his 'attention' as appauling...and of all the 6 kids 'he found it the hardest'....however...she is great...she sat and talked to him 1:1 about his feelings and anger etc....for about 30mins yesterday....got him to draw a 'feelings picture' etc....and he was calmer last night (the 1st night was awful...he came home so 'coiled up' that he unwound towards me physically...kicking-flicking my face-and blowing in my face.
FLAMESPARROW...i will update u on the school issues for ds1....
just feeling very overwhelmed at the mo...but still enough energy to contribute to the food threads!
trouble is...ialso feel so irratable at the mo..that i am having to refrain from stirring on those threads....as food is such a sensitive issue in our house...and i feel so much of the food threads is so tedious!
however...feel some of what i said must have been took on board..cos one poster specifically saoid that something she posted wold not apply to SN ...and i believe she was being 'genuine and nice'....not 'excluding' us....bit like a child with an alergy to dairy-but able to drink squash..you have to go with what they can have...even if you would prefer they had a better thing!
