Mooloo, well done for putting your foot down and taking some time for yourself! No-one can continuously give and give without putting something back in the 'bank'.
I hope you get the day you need.It's not difficult!

Hardly rebellious. Just asserting things.

Perhaps a chat might be in order where you spell out that living with you doesn't equate to free childcare when he fancies [ although in that particular instance, it was not his decision] but it may become a problem. The drive and wander sound nice ...Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi0

Twin2 has just messaged me asking for £50 for food and electric. She had £30 last month. I have said no. Since her brother etc moved in with me I don't have it. Which is actually true. I don't have it.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0

No I didn't get it back.
I feel really bad but I am just not a miracle worker.
I can't provide for everyone else the stress is just too much.
I don't want to be juggling my money every few weeks. Taking my savings back to the bone and now DS living here has ruined my budget completely and until I can get back on track I will stress.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -

She can't sew! And she's in Cornwall so I cannot send her anything even if she could.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0 -
Dinner done, washing up done. Washing in, more washing on, teasmade set ready for tomorrow. DS put baby to bed. I read eldest a couple of stories sat in my bedroom, and put him to bed with only a little disruption which is good.
Social worker popped by with a letter about the changes in the fact that DS and GF have separated etc tells him to take it to a solicitor but as the next meeting is tomorrow I don't see that being possible for then.
But as children are going to be in Mums care tomorrow it means that I can attend the meeting and state my concerns.
I tried to get DS to talk money but it's not happening he strategically goes out for a cigarette when I try to talk.
Dgd is up and around now so it will have to wait.
I am about to join a webinar now, so that's the next 90 minutes taken care of.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.0
