Im a complete and utter failure.

I wish I could say something..

If it is any consolation I have yelled more then twice today

[LadyRaven]

Twice? You're doing well! I seem to be constantly yelling around here (mostly at the cats). Are there any parent groups or anything near where you are? Is there a community womans health centre you can talk to they may be able to put you in touch with some people near you?

[BellyBelly]

I hear you hon and I don't think you're abnormal or a bad mummy at all, alot of what you have said is familiar to me. We're all results of modern life, lack of community and support. If you can get out the house, even with some BB members for a cuppa, anything, it will help. Its hard to even think about getting anywhere when you feel like this, but see if you can get out or invite someone over, makes a world of difference having someone there with you who can empathise. The only person who can help is you unfortunately Make sure you talk to someone in person at least, not your direct family, so there is no bias or baggage...

Oh Anna this is tough sweetie I an empathise DH used to travel lots and we used to move every 6-12 months for his new contracts. I am here if you want a chat would offer to take the boys but can't get to Townsville I will PM you my mobile

PS: You are doing a great job and twice yelling not so bad hun

[Kazmar]

Anna- I sent you a PM.

Dont think like that! You a wonderful mummy!!! We all get like that, its normal and you're allowed to get down.
Makig good strong friendships will really help and will make the world of difference. My PM may be able to help you, I hope it does :hugs: take care

AnnaT - J is acting exactly the same as Jett. Today he smooshed fruit all into my jeans, and because I am just so tired, I basically just let him get away with it. They really push boundaries don't theny?

You probably have already, but have you though about joining a playgroup?

If you were close, I would have you over here in a flash.

[Freya]

Ive tried playgroups and such but unfortunately I had a run in with some women here when we first moved in and Townsville, although considered a big city for something regional, is like a country town. These women have 'tenticles' in ever pie so Ive been loathe to keep trying groups when I just end up finding out that their spreading lies about me basically to cut me off. It really sucks but I just dont have the energy to fight it anymore. Plus Im mega suspicious now I just find it hard to trust strangers anymore

[Matryoshka]

Come back to perth matey

[JAXsmummy]

maybe when your boy refuses to let you change his nappy you could put him in the shower

not only to avoid him getting a sore bum but also to avoid you having to clean up poo if it goes everywhere while he's in bed

[Freya]

I wish I could Tanya Im hoping against hope that when they ship us out in July we get to go to Sydney or Brisbane if not Perth but we wont have any clue until April at the earliest.

I think I need a holiday.
