Gee, that's really tough on you hun. You must feel so isolated at times, and the lack of sleep on top of that must be a killer. I am sure there is a solution in all of this for you somewhere. I hope you can find it. In the meantime, I think you are amazing for all that you are doing. Absolutely amazing.
I have a partner at home and my house is still a mess! Just shows you have your priorities regarding looking after your children right!
Hope it goes fast for you and I hope that maybe your parents lend you a car. I don't drive and have enough trouble getting one child around. It''s frustrating stuff!
Well I got a message this morning. They'll have the girls when I go get the car, I'll just take DS. & they'll take me to he concert thing for DD1 on Friday.
Its kinda hard to ask straight out for a car when they already said no to DH. Well, kinda said no. Waited to answer til they were rained in for a good excuse, coz only one car can get them out. By then DH was gone anyway, they did know he had to be gone by then.
There was no mention of helping me get to town. I did already get one friend to run me down the street while she was here, so got most of the stuff I needed. Will borrow my other friends car & duck down there later & spend $10 on a small bag of dog food, even though I need twice as much as you get to feed my dogs for a week
Everything we need is here, just at twice the price or more (I spent $7 on a family sized meat pie B&G ice cream is $7!!) Thankfully we have a butcher locally...that helps!
We'll be alright. We've had no car plenty of times coz the dodgy thing has broken down on us. Mum & dad were only 10 minutes away if we needed to borrow one, but I can survive without.
Thanks for the support Makes me feel a little better. I'm less stressed now I know I can get to DD's school thing. Makes a difference
maybe your hints are too subtle... ask for one of the other cars flat out, at least that way you could do some shopping while the girls are at school and get to hospital in an emergency. What's the worse that can happen they tell you know and confirm what you are already thinking?!?!?!
I agree :yeahthat: The time for subtlety is OVER! You need a hand, and I think you have to be forthright & ask for it. You have 3 little kids and you need help.
I'm sending you MASSIVE hugs. I am a part-time single mum too as my DH works away. Its effin hard work and I can't imagine having to do it without the car.
I so wish I could go & do the shopping for you BJ...
