over a year ago

I’m feeling a bit fed up. Younger two kids (15 & 12) and I have been sniping at each other. I’m generally a good-natured person, but they’ve been getting on my last nerve. They’ve also had too much time on devices, and I’m feeling like a crap mum. I’ve been online buying them Christmas presents that don’t feel wholly deserved. I’m a good mum generally, and am always always here for my kids. They come first. But I just want to be alone

Ex husband is also being a dick. I emailed him earlier to ask if he could pick up the kids a bit earlier on Friday (he has them every second weekend and picks up at 8pm), so that I could travel to visit my baby niece for the first time. They live hours away. He said yes but made a dig at me for choosing to go without the kids, and they’ll be disappointed at not seeing their new cousin. Like what business is it of his?! Over the years I’ve tried so hard not to let his arsiness affect me, but it still does at times.

Anyone else feel like telling the world to fuck off?

Op - I hear you, my ex is a massive bell end too.

I’m not very well this weekend, so I’ve spent most of the day on the sofa, watching Christmas films.

It won’t do your kids any harm to spend the odd day on their tech, give yourself a break.

Right this minute I’m ok. I’ve been to some dark places over the last few weeks. It was the fifth anniversary of my wife’s death, then my stepdad (who was more of a real Dad than my biological one) died. I felt really, really low, the worst I’ve felt in a while.

Thankfully I’ve come through it now, there’ll be dark times and good times ahead. Just reach out when you’re struggling, tell your friends you’re not ok, try a bit of mindfulness and always remind yourself it will pass.

Quite proud of myself for not replying to the ex. It’s so hard though.

When you’re young and in love, and have kids, you’re not really thinking about how you’ll be tied to this person for life.

OP don’t think yourself a crap mum. Everyone has a a breaking point. You’re human! Your ex sounds like a dick though. Hope that gets better!

I’m currently putting my tree up by myself. I have “fireplace for your home” on Netflix because I don’t have a real fire, and I’m half way through a bottle of spiced rum wondering what the fuck I’m putting this tree up for. this is meant to be joyous, I couldn’t feel more of a loner!

I went through that and I can personally vouch for that light at the end. It destroyed me at the time but I’m now back in control of my life and career and things are good, not everything but the majority. Stick in there and be right by yourself, be kind, fair and thoughtful and things will be alright. I’m sure you’ve got people around but I’m a good listener if you need it xx

Yeah I want to tell the world to fuck off too.

Rubbish birthday last week.

I couldn’t be less in the Christmas spirit, I’ve not started shopping for any presents, can’t be arsed putting the tree and decs up.

As much as I’ll make Christmas special for the kids, I’ll be glad when it’s come and gone.

It’s a family orientated time and everywhere you go it’s in your face, it just reminds me that the kids don’t have their dad and it sucks.

I’d happily bugger off on holiday with the kids for Christmas if I had the money

A bit discombobulated! Was a busy shift at work til 2am, then was chilling with my mate having a couple of beers til about 5am, then didn't wake up until 4pm so haven't seen daylight at all and being Sunday it's too late to go get any groceries or anything.

At a bit of a loose end now and don't know what to do. Might go to the pub later.

I'm having an up and down period. My mood spikes to excitedly happy due to Christmas films; stews; Christmas decorations and cleaning out crap in the house, to dips where I'm missing my mum, and family who are isolating, and generally feeling unwell.

I can go from woo hoo to tears in seconds and it's pissing me off a bit.

I watched a video of a Christmas from almost 30 years ago that my mum was in, and my children were little, to cheer myself up and I cried all the way through it.

And, my nose hurts

If you’re feeling overwhelmed then I found I had to look at each thing separately, not as a whole. Sort one problem at a time according to priority. Set goals to do this each day, one small victory, however small, will lift you up a little. Use your friends, they won’t mind.

I'm feeling pretty positive at the moment. Thankfully my ex is a thing of the past, a 3 year divorce, stupid amounts of legal fees, but the divorce process ended in July this year, the house was sold September so that chapter of my life is closed so all good there

Unfortunately I'm now pinging from B & B, to air bnb until a suitable house turns up but the market is pretty limited for choice at the moment.

However, I have food, shelter and warmth, which is more than some people have so...all is good

I don't like socialising that much. I'm talking proper friends you pop in for tea, go shopping with and go out with.

And screen time… yeah you’re on to a loosing batter.

To answer your question, I feel shite.

I woke up 7am Saturday, it’s now 8:15pm Sunday.

I spent Saturday night up kids A & E with step daughter, 17, (eldest of a collection of 5 kids all told) after she us she’d just downed some pills and didn’t want to be here any more.

Long story short, things are… well not great but we’re getting on top of it

This very common. Many people aren't big the whole socialising thing. And tend to rely on family and who they already know, past a certain point.

You're part of the swinging scene though. It's naturally very inclusive and friendly and social. It has to be. So there's good opportunities to click with a handful of people for days out, long term friendship etc.

There's lots of people in the same boat, looking for the same thing. Genuine companionship.

"I'm having an up and down period. My mood spikes to excitedly happy due to Christmas films; stews; Christmas decorations and cleaning out crap in the house, to dips where I'm missing my mum, and family who are isolating, and generally feeling unwell.

I can go from woo hoo to tears in seconds and it's pissing me off a bit.

I watched a video of a Christmas from almost 30 years ago that my mum was in, and my children were little, to cheer myself up and I cried all the way through it.

And, my nose hurts

Christmas can always be a nightmare for things like that x

Since I became depressed years ago I keep wishing my children, or myself were young again.

They’re not but you should cherish the memories and look forward to Christmases ahead. You never know, the best one could be around the corner x

I'm looking forward to this Christmas with the babies. Next year the eldest will be more aware and can track Father Christmas with us

Brilliant. I love that. We used to do the norad Father Christmas tracker and get the portable North Pole videos "

We use the Norad one. Even when my grandchildren stopped believing in Father Christmas.

It’s clearly the weekend for it.

I’m feeling pretty fragile & down at the moment. Kid free weekend and a fab lunch date I had planned was cancelled at last minute. It’s the 3rd time in 3 weeks where I’ve been cancelled on (not the same guy)

I also had someone from here/club say some pretty mean stuff to me the other week.

So all in all I feel like it’s one knock/disappointment after another.

So have pretty much spent the whole weekend by myself doing naff all and feeling sorry for myself & v alone.

I know I’ll snap out of it & have lots to look forward to, but sometimes it’s just bloody hard!

Sending hugs to all of you who are struggling

I'm the other end of the spectrum, I have my children 3 weekends out of 4. Pick them up from school on a Friday then drop them to school on the Monday morning. I love my weekends with my kids, makes playing on here less likely but they have, do and always will come first. Was sat on the sofa with them until 10mins ago watching the Christmas chronicles after a day of Christmas shopping. So their in bed now as its a school day tomorrow which now gives me time for a browse on here. Current mood is contented, sorry to hear you're not having the best time OP.

Hello Dieu, sorry you're having a crappy day. I have a crappy ex myself and my youngest son just came back from seeing his dad and screamed at me. I think I know where the outburst came from.

I'm sorry to read the stories from other people who are having a crappy day or weekend I've been quite low of late and I keep just trying to find a little bit of positive. Just a bit keeps you going.

Yes to all of that OP. I have a very difficult ex who digs at me often even though I am available fir the kids constantly, do all of the life admin, cover 99% costs etc. I've worked hard to let it slide and have to set boundaries around how he communicates with me. Some days it gets me down. It's exhausting.

Of course the kids are also in a human flow.. Of feist and lack of empathy at times which just feels like a kick in the fanny! It's not their fault.. They're just kids. Big breaths.. And if you've snapped a bit, do be it. Explain to them why. You're stretched.. Perhaps they are too in some way.

It will pass mama. Put really clear boundaries in place with your ex and tell him that his opinion and judgement are not welcome unless it is a matter of urgency to discuss about the children. You don't need to justify yourself to him and there is no requirement for you to feel understood by him. Those days are gone.

You're doing great, both fails and wins. I totally know these kinda days like the one you're having. It's a slog AND it will shift.

For all of you feeling out of sorts, unhappy, discontented, unloved….I’m sending you some big love and cuddles (I give the best ones)!!

We are all entitled to these days and these feelings because if we didn’t we wouldn’t be human nor would we be in touch with our emotions…..but remember tomorrow is a new day and with it comes the endless possibilities of excitement, fun and happiness (even if it is a Monday)!! Fill yourself with positivity and stick with the people that make you happy (avoid Exes) ha!

My feelings are pretty fantastic at the moment….I’ve eaten good food and spoken to my children (even if the youngest was more interested in YouTube ).

So hoping this message runs off on the ones feeling low!!

In light of how tough people are having things, I’m almost sorry to say that I’m in a good place at the moment.

I’m feeling a touch of equilibrium, I’ve had a good weekend and whilst not everything is in a row, I feel able to face things and deal. It’s been a while since I felt that!

"I’m feeling a bit fed up. Younger two kids (15 & 12) and I have been sniping at each other. I’m generally a good-natured person, but they’ve been getting on my last nerve. They’ve also had too much time on devices, and I’m feeling like a crap mum. I’ve been online buying them Christmas presents that don’t feel wholly deserved. I’m a good mum generally, and am always always here for my kids. They come first. But I just want to be alone

Ex husband is also being a dick. I emailed him earlier to ask if he could pick up the kids a bit earlier on Friday (he has them every second weekend and picks up at 8pm), so that I could travel to visit my baby niece for the first time. They live hours away. He said yes but made a dig at me for choosing to go without the kids, and they’ll be disappointed at not seeing their new cousin. Like what business is it of his?! Over the years I’ve tried so hard not to let his arsiness affect me, but it still does at times.

Anyone else feel like telling the world to fuck off? "

Sorry you’re feeling fed up OP.. balancing the needs of others is a constant battle at times. Hopefully that’s just a blip and things will find their level again soon.

I’m finally emerging from a horrible dark spell and have just realised I have me back I’ve spent the day helping out my stepdaughter open her business and reconnected to my eldest stepson that I’ve not seen in a few years. It was a really lovely day, despite being wrecked from baking solidly for 3 days. But today I felt completely present and content. It’s rare but I love that. Love to all having a crappy time. I hope tomorrow is brighter

Sorry to hear that OP x

I'm in a nostalgic frame of mood, Xmas brings big memories of loved ones who had passed away at New years, the main one is the first anniversary of my dogs death. Opening the Xmas box and finding his stocking and santa outfit successfully managed to bring me to my knees and need a cuddle of his cushion accompanied with a tear or 10 xxx

Right now dreadful, absolutely dreadful

I've had a very emotionally fraught afternoon with Mum

She has waited for Day1 of my sister going away for a week to just emotionally dump on me about her situation (she is terminally ill)

That sounds awful, like she planned it - I am sure she didn't

It is probably because she feels more vulnerable with one less in the 'care plan'

I feel I have no one to talk to with my sister being away - no one that knows the full story anyway

So, right now, I am wearing a painted face of positivity and practicality whilst screaming internally

Honestly, never felt lonlier.

My daughter went to her dads on Friday and my depression has been a problem for a while now.

Combine that with having had a pretty big personal failure recently and the inertia is overwhelming.

Its as much as I can do to plaster a smile on when she gets back from her dads, and drag myself to work most of the time.

Aww Dieu...we all need some 'us' time, especially when you're a busy mom.

Don't feel bad about wanting/needing that!

Your ex sounds like his an arse. Pay him no mind!

It's easy done the kids having too much time on their devices, that does not mean you're a bad mom. Don't beat yourself up about that.

Enjoy the quality time you can spend with your new niece in peace and quiet without the kids. They can meet her another time.

Hope you get yourself some well earned space x

"Quite proud of myself for not replying to the ex. It’s so hard though.

When you’re young and in love, and have kids, you’re not really thinking about how you’ll be tied to this person for life. "

Tell me about it. I was 16 when I had my son and STILL (obviously) tied to his darned father. His dad was visiting from Wales this weekend and said he'd collect our son from home. Except he didn't. I ended up taking him most of the way, at the expense of getting dinner on the table for everyone else on time. Urgh!

This evening, I feel a sense of having achieved a thing. I finished altering our daughter's nativity costume. Apprehensive about another stressful week at work and wondering what the buildings insurance assessor will find re: my dad's house damaged in the storms because it'll be me paying for anything outside of what his insurance covers. Mr KC turned his hand to fixing the patio over the summer but doubt he can do structural brickwork and the roof

I can totally relate to the children fighting thing my youngest two are 13 and 15.

I'm struggling a bit if honest for so many reasons. A bit of a roller coaster of emotions, lack of sleep, stress and worries and now the weather has wiped out our power so we are all camping out at my eldests house. He's been such a star so I'm very thankful and lucky. We live properly in the sticks so I'm concerned about how it might actually be a struggle to get home at all. I've got to go to work in the morning and somehow be super productive whilst ignoring all of the above and the way my heart is breaking all over again on top of everything else.

I think you need time away from the kids and going to see your new family member will be amazing, enjoy every moment especially the alone time on the journey there, loud top of voice singing usually helps me!

I’m feeling pretty crappy at the moment and I’m off work sick and on SSP so more conscious of money than usual which isn’t great at Christmas, but this too will pass. Fab has kept me amused and this forum is a lovely place for fun, frolicks and feel good factor x

I'm a little behind on hours (because of kids, flexi working) but I'm trying to not let it stress me out too much.

What will be, will be.

Physically pained and just worn out

Kidney infection is shit.

Op my daughter is awful, she is nearly 16 and just selfish and pushes my buttons til I want to kill her. I actually left the house this evening and went for a drive. Felt a lot better for it.

Make space for you x

Hate life currently. Miss the ex and my daughter terribly and it’s like my daughter can’t wait to get away when she is here. Happy my son stayed but don’t feel I can be as good to him as his mother can I keep forgetting things at the shop and are a useless cook so can’t make him as good things for his tea. House feels so lonely and empty

It’s a hard time of year to be feeling this, whatever you do don’t do it alone. Hard to offer advice not knowing any details but just spend time with your daughter, not money, give her attention when there (and stay in touch when she’s at her mums). As for your son, teach him to cook with you, learn together and bond over eating meals together, it can really help, and when you mess up a recipe it’s just something to laugh over together.

But do talk to your mates, or anyone on here who seems like they’d listen

Thank you for taking the time to reply mate and for the good suggestions. It’s been 3 weeks since she moved out after 15 year together, still won’t confirm it’s forever but grows more distant and nasty as time goes by it’s now like every word that comes out of my mouth annoys her and she’s more than happy to voice it so I not got much hope. I do talk to mates but don’t want to take up too much of their time as they all have families and it’s busy time of year but not alone

Thanks again mate I appreciate the reply and thoughts

My vertigo has returned with a vengeance so I've been dizzy all day, having to deal with my mum/gran/dad bickering all evening, exhausted from work dealing with new starters and students.. and my 2nd job texting and calling me about players..

and when I try and vent at home mum tells me I cant be that tired as I'm only 25..

So all in all a little shite today

Your doing your best and by the sounds of it that's more than enough.

Your kids are at that age where they are working out who they are and are going to be a pain.

And yes you are allowed to feel like this. So give yourself a break ignore your ex snide attitude and go enjoy seeing your niece. Things will look better in time

It’s so hard when they 1st leave. I promise it does get easier in time. Can you get a cookbook for beginners (or students) and teach yourself to cook? Or find YouTube videos? Keep it simple to start with & bulk cook & freeze extras. Stews & casseroles are easy especially at this time of year. If you have a slow cooker you can just chuck it all in & leave it until tome to eat.

I got word from friends to say another friends son was in a bad way on Monday.

I got a message from my friend yesterday to say he’d died. Same age as my son. Severe, life limiting disabilities. Fought all his life, and he died because he caught covid.

I feel awfully sad, he was a funny, cheeky, inspiring young man. I’m glad I knew him.

I feel like I would’ve totally given up if it wasn’t for my beautiful cat welcoming me home from visiting both my parents with dementia.

100% been placed on garden leave for sticking to principles now facing a new year unemployed which is undeniably stressful. The little things make you snap its not a good place. Yet there are worse situations
