of being a single Mom! I know there re real life sinle Mom's here-no offense at all btw. Dh has to work night school so he leaves at 7am and arrives home exhausted at 8:30pm. And even then we are still flat broke, maxed out on all our credit cards and not sure if there'll be enough in checking after the middle of the month.
And what's scary is my fatigue shows by 6pm; I am wiped out, done in, toast, fried etc etc. And yes when certain kids talk back for the 20th time or refuse a simple request to come in the house after they have kicked their sister on the swing I have resorted to clips around the ear (no bashing please I couldn't bare the judgement). I feel like sometimes I am skitting by by the skin of my teeth.
Just yesterday I dared to buy a $20 Planet Hero toy for Cian as a potty prize, (he doesn't go poop at all and pee is only when forced). I heard dh arrive home and piss and bitch under his breath how I just buy sh!t. My dears I bought water, vegetables and that dammed potty prize......so why do I feel like I just bought a spa and had it installed or something. A good part of the reason we are in this financial mess is I have HAD to stop working due to no daycare being able to take Liam. Then we had to move as Liam was receiving no school services. So here I am a single parent who is teetering on the brink of insanity most days and always by dinnertime. Doesn't help that is precisely when Liam's meds wear off and he jumps up and down on my last remaining nerve.
He and are soooo alike it scares me, autism or not.
Sorry for the whine fest....pass the cheese I guess,

Yeah, I hear ya.
Mind if I bring the vodka and chocolate?
My H works 9 PM to 9 AM on a wacky schedule. (On two, off two, on three. Reverse the next week.) So he's off like every two days, but it's not enough to really help take care of the house and/or kids, but just enough to be a bad influence on them. (When he is home, he is either watching tv with food or sleeping, or letting them get away with murder.)
Sometimes I prefer single motherhood. I can get the children to do things they need to do. See, mom's the enforcer. Daddy's the fun guy (when he's around). And of course we're totally broke, too. (I loves me some gift cards! It's the only way I ever buy anything for me or the kids anymore aside of eBay when it's cheaper. Who said these children could grow so much from last spring??) Bleugh.
I really do it all myself now anyway. But yeah - I'm DRAINED.
