Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Not Coping

I only work part time 3 days and Mrs will be 4 days so it works out that we only need care for her for 2 days and we have a good family day care lined up that we have used before, and our middle kid is going to an extra kinder day next term, we only did 2/3 days this term while he settled in. so yeah, that will help… we’ll work it out @Birdofparadise8 bit of planning but I think we have got a system down pat

Re: Not Coping

That's good then @ArraDreaming

it's funny, I started school at 4 years old in kindergarten, and my school went to grade 10.

It seems in Melb, the primary school starts at prep. You have to go to another school for kindy.

Re: Not Coping

Yeah you do we have kinder 3 here which is generally 3-4 year olds, although our son is young and just turned 3 recently, and then kinder 4 which is 4-5 year olds (this is the compulsory one) and then prep is generally when kids are 5 turning 6… and kinder is usually either at its own place or at a large care centre… @Birdofparadise8

Re: Not Coping

I think they do longer days @Birdofparadise8 he will 3 short days this year that I think they turn into more like school days next year, more school readiness stuff, but idk, he’s birthday is early so we might get him to do 3 years of kinder all up before school, not sure yet

Re: Not Coping

Why am I so worried about being alone this weekend? I'm scared I won't cope, and I'm already feeling sad and alone.
