smallholdingsister's strivings

AlexLK

Pavlovs, I am not under any illusion that my life is anything other than a waste of time. I don't want to live but also have no desire to mess my son's life up. Frankly, having a few nice things makes it that little bit more bearable.

As you've pointed it out, what I posted doesn't exactly look good and for you quoting it I can hardly delete it. Sometimes, I don't think before I write / speak.

NG, London is a different planet.

Smallholding, Happy Friday. It's half term soon.

Alex, I too come from a different planet from you, economically ... but I stepped out of the debate earlier on partly because I really do get upset about online debates like this, partly because I don't think they do any good, partly because it was getting a bit lopsided, and partly because I've previously seen you allude to what you've referred to directly above, which I've bolded. Because of the work I do, I can often hear that kind of stuff even when its *not* stated directly

The sort of pain that you describe in that bolded statement affects everything a human does and thinks and believes. When you're carrying that around with you, you're doing really well to be able to hold down a relationship and keep engaged with the world around you.

Stay with us.






PS if you want me to delete the quote at any time, just let me know.

Admirable post KC.

Honestly its that same concern for you (Alex) that stops me worrying too much when you post comments that you know are likely to annoy/upset/offend.

It has been a good day but exhausting. Year ten fell for the old classic

"Have you got a boyfriend miss?"

"No. My husband wouldn't like it".

I am completely exhausted though my pecker is up!

AlexLK

Thank you, KC / Smallholding. Really ought not bring my own problems into this, though.

Do hope this is the end of it and apologise for carrying this on. I suppose I was stupid enough to take the bait (again) from a previous post.

I had that said to me too once. Started on a new ward, age 22. Someone asked me if I had a boyfriend and I said exactly the same, didn't believe me till showed my wedding ring. I always said I was a child bride.. (always looked younger than my age). Now 20 years on..

Fair play, Helen.

Question.
If your child came home and said Miss was making him and a few others do different/extra work what would you say/do?
