    Happy birthday Mooloo! I hope you have a nice day and let the kids do the housework. It's a beautiful day here, so I hope the sun is shining on you in Oxford too.

    You share a birthday with my twin daughters - they are 14 today.

    OH Happy birthday to the twins.
    :bdaycake: :bdaycake: I hope they grow up with less problems then mine!!.
    I am sitting here on my own. The girls have disappeared off out. The sun hasnt arrived yet. I had thought it was shinning a bit before I went for the bath, but its a bit gloomy at the moment.

    I doubt they will do the housework, they didnt even do the washingup after dinner last night when I asked. Or tidied up when they put the babies to bed.
    I had to wash up to be able to make my cup of tea this morning.
    Ah well why should I be surprised!!. ( Feel a bit miserable about it at the moment. But then its been a horrible time and I have been very touchy for days and days.).
    Will make up for it later when I go to the BF/s and then over to see Biggest of Mooloo's.
    Least I got a pressy this year!!! :T

  • Hi Mooloo

    Why don't the twins wash up when you have just made the meal? Is it because of their problems or is it because they 'know' you will do it in the end because its just 'easier to get it done'? I was just wondering if you were 'allowing' them in a round about way to not get the jobs done?

    I suppose the best people to help you judge are the people around you, ie BF or DS or Biggest of Mooloos as sometimes we don't even realise whats going on around us when we are totally immersed in them.

    Have a good day

    Love the choccy bunny eating face!!! Reminds me of the kids when little, with that look of wasn't me after the deed was done!!.
    Watching GMTV on the box, and sitting here wishing the sun would come out, but so far Oxford is under clouds!!
    Spoke to my parents on MSN in France. They are off out for a picnic now!.
    Mmmm. Perhaps I will make myself a little picnic and go and enjoy it away from all the mess here at home?
    Twins went out, so I have nobody to please but myself...
    How often have I craved peace and quiet only to have it and not know what to do with myself. (Normally would be housework, but dont fancy doing that today of all days. ).

    I asked them to wash up after dinner, and I went to the supermarket. When I got back I was tired and I went back to bed early, reminding them to do the dishes and to tidy up after themsleves before they went to bed.

    When I came down this morning I wanted a cup of tea, so ended up washing up to get my tea, and while waiting for the kettle to boil.
    I refused to clear up any of the rest.
    When I was on here, house visitor arrived and twin2 came down stairs. I went for a bath, and they were outside having a cigarette. I told them to please bring in the washing, that I had hung out yesterday and had not brought it, and asked for the wet stuff that was still around also to go out.
    As I got out of the bath I heard a male voice in the hall, and ducked into my room. Asked twin1 whatwas going on and that she needed to do a bit of her room, and she said she was off out to meet Twin2 and house visitor who had apparantly gone out while I was in the bath.
    So they have all disappeared, even though I did shout at her that she had to do her jobs. I even telephoned Twin2 and asked her where she was? Gone to get visitors BF she said. I told her that it would have been nice to have done her jobs and to have spent some time with me too? (Then I feel that was not fair of me to expect them to spend time with me,).
    The washing is in various piles and degrees of mess, and I just feel fed up with being used.
    I did say in anger that not to expect me to be here when they got back. But I havent really got anywhere to go. If I go to BF's hes at work, and his sons are about. They dont really communicate with me unless Dad is there, so i dont feel that comfortable there unless BF is.

    OH Pooh. Never mind. I will snap out of my self indulgent thoughts soon enough, take myself to task. Its not as if its a very special birthday. I also need to remember that kids dont find it cool to hang around with the parents.!!

  • Try and enjoy the peace, just be, hear the quiet and do some relaxing breathing. Read a book maybe or a trashy magazine (I like OK) and have a good !!!!! about the celebrities :o;) Buy yourself a lovely bar of chocolate and make a coffee and just be! They will all be home soon enough including babies and friends in tow :eek: :p;)


    By the way could you start charging them if they go out without doing their jobs? Or is that just me I charged my DS a fiver the other day for repeatedly leaving electric (unnecessary items) on :o:D

    Right enough of sitting here feeling miserable. Not going to wait for the sun to come out. Or the kids to get back. Time to sort out something to take for tonight, and brighten my mood.
    Then I will make some lunch, and decide where to take it to eat. Even if it is only the garden.
    Been on a low for a week now. ! Usually get my head around things long before that.
    Doesnt help when the calls today have been the police and victim support. Just want to burst into tears all over again!!
    Will stop worrying about the family. Sod em for today. Its my day and I am not going to sit here waistng anymore of it bemoaning my plight. !!
    Kettle on, and make a lunch. Upstairs and gather my clothes and make up.
