Just acted like a fool in front of social worker

He came today to assess us for respite.

DH hadn't been at last meeting.

I am pretty low at the moment and finding it hard to cope some days (DD is 3 and undergoing ASD diagnosis although it's pretty certain).

He asked DH if we needed respite and he said "not really." He also said that I had said I couldn't remember when I had last slept and DH said "we got four nights right through"..I got upset and said "I wasn't lying, I wasn't lying" of course looking like i WAS, and had a go at DH saying he didn't have to deal with it all.

I'm sure he has seen it all before but I am just a bit mortified. It takes a lot for me to even post I am upset on HERE anonymously so that was pretty hard.

thanks, am OK really. MIL is lovely and understanding. FIL is not really (thinks I just don't discipline DD enough etc) but his heart is in right place.

oh yuck to the bug and puke. are you satisfied with being offered a hysterectomy? have you discussed whether something like a mirena coil or an endometrial ablation might be suitable?

Thanks. It seems to just be a horrid heavy cold at the moment.

Am satisfied really, have had several opinions on it. It's not a bleeding thing so not that easily treated.

They also said I could have one more child first if I wanted but I just couldn't handle another child with (maybe worse) ASD, so don't think I can take the risk. Otherwise I would have loved 2. It's a lot to think about!

also FIL is buying and installing a dishwasher for us, which is lovely of him, sort of makes up for his lack of understanding (he said last night that DD would be "fine in a couple of years" and also keeps hassling her for not saying please and thank you).
