Not as good as I thought I was !!!

1 minute read time.

I thought I was doing ok over the past couple of weeks but all alone last night I thought i'd sort out some photo's of Dad to put in some frames that I bought. Major blub session!! The reality that Dad's not here in body anymore came over me and had to put the photo's away cos I did'nt want them to get wet. The guilt came again of maybe I could have done more. If I'd pushed the doctors earlier Dad may still be here. Dad should be here, he was so fit before this damned cancer got him only 11 months ago. Its not long is it, fighting fit and looking forward to a good few more years yet then bang few months later we have a frail poorly man. You always think that your Dad is gonna be around, 'specially if youre a bit of a daddys girl like me.Things just don't seem to be normal now. My 3 boys are getting on my nerves, I think I've got the worst behaved kids in the world. They wont do as their told they fight, answer back,wreck havoc in the house. I actually look forward now to when they go to school and bed, how mean is that ! My mum is quite dependent on me as she is very forgetful and can't deal with letters and bills and stuff like that. I get stressy with her tooa after telling her for the hundreth time she don't need to pay council tax now till next year. Even my hubby is annoying me. I just feel that I want to get away and be on my own. Only trouble is when you have kids and work and household chores to do you just aint got the time.

Thanks all for listening xx

    Hi Sarah,

    Have a big hug from me. Your Dad, I am sure, is giving you that look that says "you did more than any Dad could ever ask for, keep strong girl" as he sends his love and hugs to you.

    Sarah,

    Wanna fight over the worlds worst behaved kids LOL  My kids can't even be in the same room without insulting each other, telling each other how much they hate him/her.......its exhausting!!  Maybe its having 3, I have two boys and a girl, she winds her brothers up something rotten and then screams when they go for her - girls eh, we grow into such wonderful creatures but as children - hmmmmmm!!!!

    You are still very sensitive and everything will seem a hundred times worse than it actually is....I know what you mean about having kids and running a house, I can barely fit being a brain tumour patient into my schedule and I wondered how I ever worked before!!!!!

    We'll listen anytime and never judge xxxxx

    Sarah you`ve really got a way to go to beat my 3 lads, You dont say how old they are but you do say your glad when they go to school & bed so I guess I trump you, as all mine work!!! Its me that goes to bed to get away from them.  You really dont want to be in the same county when they fight never mind house ;-)  

    Hey I look at pictures of my dad and can still have a major blub session but the tears now are different there not so bitter then again my dad died in 1990 so I should have stopped blubbing by now.  You will always miss him but the feelings are not so gut wrenching. Hold on there girl honest it does get easier.

    Love Shelley

    Its natural to cry at this time Sarah ( and youre definitely not 'not good') The love and caring, you had and still have for your Dad shines out. Your kids sound perfectly normal, and so are you in feeling like you do. Hang on girl give yourself TLC, and feel all the love around you, love and blessings, Karen xox

    My dad died in 1974 and I can still cry about it sometimes but that's because he was a special dad and I miss him. BUT I do have lovely memories and I can share these with family and friends and we remember him fondly without crying and you will too (your dad not mine !!). It just takes time so give yourself some time and some TLC.

    Everybody's children are the worst in the world at times -don't worry.

    Love Jen Xx
