I wanted a nice day yesterday,just lazing about watching dvds ect,but it didnt turn out like that,i ended up running about for school uniform in the morning and wee i got tired and pissed off. Came home and wanted a nap but my 10 year old was playing up,not wanting to do anything or go out to play with his pals,so i ended up having to pay my 18 year olds £5 just to watch his brother for an hour so i could have a rest,anyway,cut a long story short i got up to a tip,i mean a tip,empty juice bottles everywhere,the dishwasher was needing emptied but there was a mass pile of dirty dishes in the kitchen,the wee one was hungry,the floors were soaking as it had been raining and no one shut the back door,so i was pretty annoyed,i started to tidy up and cook dinner and not one person asked if i needed help,so i blew my top and shouted and cried while hoovering like a mad woman. Daniels said he didnt know what my problem is as he watched my son(his brother) all afternoon and i shouted in front of everyone DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT ONE AFTERNOON BECAUSE IF THIS THING KILLS ME YOULL BE WATCHING HIM THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU WONT GET PAID FOR THAT. What a cow i felt after but im so bloody stuborn i wouldnt say sorry,i upset everyone and the worst bit is for one second it felt good. im such a bitch but i need help just now not my life made harder. Then to top it off my 13 year old daughter wanted to stay at a friends for the 3rd time this week as she hates being round me as it reminds her of how ill i actually am...eh??? I dont have two heads,its not catching and i still look the same,even getting the lippy out once and a while.
Anyway off to get ready to see consultant,im bloody ready for her! Take care everyone and have a good day

I have 15 and 13 yo boys and an 11 yo daughter of satan..she must have been swapped in special care - oh hang on the rest were boys oh well lol
This morning I got up to dog puke.......at 6.06am, have washed up (no dishwasher here) hung out one load of laundry, got another on the go.....ironed all three school uniforms and PE kits ready for September and about to go to Tesco's - walking cos I don't drive an couldn't even if I wanted due to bloody buttercup and the seizure I had.
Supposed to be resting this week allowing my blood to recover - YEAH RIGHT....I am the queen of banging around (hubby HATES it lol) and moaning and muttering. His answer......don't do it and then moan about it - arghhhhhhhhhhh men!
Right....I feel better now.......thanks for a good thread Leigh I am now calmmmmmmmm before shopping, no doubt will come home to cereal bowls everywhere, half a dozen empty drink glasses and the 15yo has the other half of my dinner set festering in his room!
At least I get fresh air and some alone time shopping lol
Have a fab day ladies of the bitch club - BITCH - babe in total control of herself ;)
Persuaded our two 'grown up' girls to either get married or find a nice home with their other halves, we gave one some money for a wedding and the other for a deposit for a house instead of a wedding. Worked out well. Never have felt maternal really so I suppose I can quite rightly join your bitch club.....thanks gals!
I can hear you all saying, wish we had the money to do that but it is surprising how you claw that finance back ie:.....only one telly on in the house........only buying food that will be eaten......not handing money out for a cinema trip to get them out of your hair........pet food for pets we didn't want.....crap magazines on my newspaper bill.......my clothes, shampoo, make-up is no longer shared......no more watered down alcohol (they think they invented that trick) etc etc
Have a good day 'bitches'

PS. There is light at the end of the tunnel though girls........GRANDCHILDREN!!!!!
Your no bitch Leigh , just a mum trying to cope with being ill and being a mum at the same time. Maybe what you need to do is go on strike! If the older ones cant help you tidy up , cook a meal etc then dont do anything for them. Most of us have been there so dont worry you're only human! Take care love Jules x
Good for you Leigh. By the way the strikes work do- no tea, no shopping and truly filthy mess for few days eventually gets through and they start offering to help (18yr old twins -boy, girl), 16 going on 3yrs boy. The only one who didn't have a selfish bone in his body was my 22yr old who would help every time he came home and expected nothing in return- shame he lives in Leeds- LOL!
Younger three have reverted to baby stage now i'm better - who'd be a mother . Keep on their case.
Thank the lord, I am not the most evil mother ever!
I sympathise as I have an 18 year old who sounds exactly like most of the darling teenagers in this thread. Eventually tidied her room today as I had run out of crockery and towels.
I also have a 21 year old mother of 2 who is at my house more than her own. Give her her due though she does try and help a little bit when she is here since my diagnosis.
My husband spends most of his time at work, as it helps him "deal with it" , to avoid the reality he means!!
At the moment I seem to be the only one coping and would really like to be pampered, even if only for one day.
Keep your chin up and hope tomorrow is a better day.
