    Sammy, I feel a bit like that too hun. I reckon small steady improvements might be the way forward, rather than wanting to become wonder woman overnight :o

    I know and I am trying to do it in baby steps. I am too tired to be assertive at home and feel like I am getting trampled on by everyone.

    OH thinks I am a PA and can be shouted at accordingly! He has just got out of bed at 11.30am and said oh I must have been tired. and 'whats up you sound fed up!'

    DD2 said if I gave her £20 she would tidy the house up for me from top to bottom as the house is a mess !!!!!!! ITS NOT MY MESS!

    and I can't get motivated at work at all.

    I really must log off and try harder.

    DS1 - 20 on sunday - moved out though so no more hassles from him! (Remember fag gate?:rotfl: )

    DD1 - 18 works and does her fair share. Helps with DD3 and I would not be able to manage without her. Although to be fair she could pick up after herself more!

    DD2 - 15 on Saturday - a royal pain in the !!!!! Room is an absolute tip, never feeds the rabbit, pinches all mine and DD1 clothes and make up, is late everywhere, thinks I am a taxi and expects to be paid for housework!!!!!

    DD3 - 2 going on 15! Loves nailvarnish and makeup and chocolate - in that order. Is really no problem but obviously needs looking after a little bit!

    OH - is 48 going on 2! Mirror image of DD2 without the girlie bits.

    I need supernanny!!
