Falling apart

I your kitchen, I'd live in it

Hey Emma

I've only just spotted this thread. I'm so sorry to hear that you're having a rough time. I just wanted to give you big hugs too .

My advice, for what it's worth, is rest when you can, take up all offers of support (especially if someone offers to clean your room for you ) and remember you're growing a baby that's an amazing, time consuming, energy sapping job and to think that you also have 2 toddlers and a school child too as well as working blows my mind. You don't need to be wonder woman.

Re the gremlins 'missing out' firstly just because they're not getting the same attention Maya did it's not a bad thing - your fostering independence (that's my line and I'm sticking with it).

Also they are too young to realise or remember that you have been too exhausted to play as much as you used to. Once you feel back on form you'll more than make up for it I'm sure. My little sister was very sick having fractured her pubo-synthesis during her 1st preg, it got worse when she fell near the end of her 2nd preg by the time #1 was 21mo and #2 was 3mo she was constantly in pain and so high on a cocktail of strong pain killers she couldn't physically care for her children. She had over two years of drugs/operations/rehabilitation before she could care for her 2 kids, much of that time was spent having bedrest, but neither of them seem to remember it at all and it hasn't affected her relationship with them.

well done to you ..... baby steps emma and it will sort itself out and tackling one room at a time is a great start

Oh no! I've only just spotted this thread!

Hugs Emma! times a million billion!
Now I understand your "and I thought my life sucked" comment on my thread about DH's hospital visit!
I won't hear of it, missy!
You're FAR more entitled to your pity party than I was!

I'm glad you're feeling a bit better and I can't give you any better advice than what's already been offered.

I'm glad to hear of the extra help you're getting. Let them do whatever they wanna do... you're entitled to that help!!
I like the idea of Bizzy's to have that massage. Even if it is just an hour, that's an hour of bliss you wouldn't have if you didn't do it. You deserve it!
Keep us posted on how the respite carer goes

Wow! Thats good! See it pays to have a wee tanty every now and again! These boys need a kick up the b*** every so often!

Next week.

That's awesome news!
I hate posting something "mean" about DH on here, only for him to turn around and do something completely unexpected and sweet. I feel so bad.
But they REALLY do need a kick up the butt sometimes!
Go Willy. He deserves a for that effort.
Let's hope it keeps up!
