Oh hun sounds like you need a break!

Have you anyone around who could give you an afternoon away from the kids?

especially when you are going through a break up, you just need some time alone, .

Awww Beatrix, I can only imagine how hard it is, it's hard enough for me with only two and a husband around (well between 6pm and 5am anyway).

Do you have anyone that can mind them for a while? If not, would you consider occasional care or something similar? Even if it were only for a few hours? I really do think you're going to need some time away from the kids to regroup and process your breakup.

You poor thing...I wish I had some better advice. But keep posting, somehow it does help!

Aww. Its hard. Well I can only imagine its hard. I wont pretend that I really know what it must be like. But I can relate to the stress of the kids & then can imagine what it would be like on top of the break up.
Can you afford an extra day of the ocassional care that the older 2 go alnog too?
With MJ sleeping, she is probably picking up on how your feeling so is having a hard time with it too. My only suggestion there would be to speak with your GP or health Nurse about settling. I know this is third time round but maybe your missing some of her tired signs? Plus with the older 2 being so helpful when you trying to settle her MJ may be overtired & in turn not sleeping well.

I use to have to shut myself in the room with Isla to get her down because the boys just didn't get it. Often I would come out once shewas asleep to find a lovely mess of what ever they got up to while I couldn't be 3 places at once. But the baby was asleep at least so I let it slide.
Maybe you could use a sling for MJ? Do you have one? just strap on & carry on with your day & hope she sleeps while with you. May help with her upchuck as well...

I hope you get a break soon

Hun, get some occasional care for the other two. 2 days a week at least and the ex can pay for it.
