Hi ladies.
Well it's been one of them weekends! My partner works shifts and when it comes to his weekends in I feel like a single parent! He gets up at 5am and goes to work whilst we are in bed and tonight he didn't get home until 6.35! Our daughter goes to bed at 7pm so she only gets to see him for a short time. I am left to entertain a hyperactive autistic 7 year old all weekend whilst trying to do usual tidying, cleaning, washing etc not to mention taking daughter to her horse riding lesson...my parents obviously know he works long shifts and I am left on my own but I have not heard from my mum all weekend even to ask how I am feeling..after putting a comment on Facebook today my sister said I should have asked her to take daughter for a couple of hours but I hate to ask others for help because it makes me feel like I can't cope and I'm a bad mum. I prefer to wait until someone offers their time. I am in bed now resting whilst the other half is downstairs watching TV and tomorrow I will be back at work feeling as though I have had no rest whilst my partner will have days off during the week where he will sit with his feel up whilst daughter is in school!! I am sorry for the moan...I am just feeling very emotional today! Having a little cry by myself! I will be glad when baby is here and I can get back to normal instead of feeling so tired and achy all the time! xx
