Oh god where is my tiny violin to play her a sad song ........ I didn't return to work after our 3rd, we're fortunate that my Husband has a good job & with a bit of belt tightening (and no bloody nursery fees to pay !) i have decided that i'd like to stay at home & parent our last baby (and his Sisters) instead of paying an extortionate amount for someone else to do it until he goes to school. He's away this week & im flying solo with an 8,4 & 1 year old - and i don't think i'm faced with any more challenges than when he is here !! We have a routine, i don't wake up every day hungover & i know that i am lucky to have the privilege to be able to make this decision. I remind myself of this on the days when i want to lock myself in the utility room & cry !!
Instead of a driveway workout when Q naps, catch up on your jobs then ! Swap a workout ( that you don't do properly anyway!) for a power walk with the pram to school to collect S. If you're busy & you have to drop a few balls - surely it would be something like this rather than running out of milk for your children ( bet she doesn't run out of alcohol!!). Your 5 year old isn't stroppy, she's growing up, developing her personality & pushing boundaries. Did you have your head in a bucket when the step kids were this ages as it's something that every child goes through ?!! Spend less time on IG documenting losing your sunglasses to your followers !!
You can tell that she now resents her longed for 'rainbow' babies & being at home with them was never her choice & it's come about because of her redundancy. She should be a bit more appreciative that Non Scottish's job is keeping her in the lifestyle she likes, she has her own business & can wfh & she has two lovely kids to call her Mummy. How someone as selfish & self centred as her has the cheek to refer to herself as Boss Mummy i will never know. Also, slagging your partner off on the Internet one day & then telling us all how in love you are the next is just fucking stupid Georgie.
