Hey @Sunnyside226 ,
I hope you don't mind me making this thread for you.
I just wanted you to know that the whole forums community is here to support you through this challenging time.
Please look after yourself. I recognise it's hard to look after three small children on your own.

Haha love it, sounds like a fun time for you all @Sunnyside226!
Oh that is rough with your sister, I'm sorry to hear it. You've already got enough on your plate right now. I hope it doesn't escalate or continue to cause you grief.
Haha pet fish, that is very cute!

That sounds yum 🤤
I was brushing her hair and tried to plait her hair she told me if I need Specsavers because I didn't do it properly 😂😂😂😂 kids have no Shame in saying nothing 😂
Do you have any good activities to do with kids? @Jynx I'm running out
Also I have PTSD

@Sunnyside226 hahaha kids do say the darndest things ay!
Hmm... arts and crafts? Finger painting is always fun. You can get cool DIY craft projects pretty cheap from places like Kmart.
Could have a crack at playing make-believe - depending what the kids are into, you could be a dragon they need to defeat, or a captive they need to save. Pop empty containers on their heads as pretend armour!
You could always create a new post and ask other forumites for ideas on how they entertain their kids!
Re: PTSD- thanks for letting us know. It's super rough, but we got your back hun 💜

I miss my partner so much I hate when he goes away sorry I should've put my sexuality on here in case for judgement
We might go to Bunnings to get plants shs wants to grow plants i don't do gardening so I told her she has to water it because it wouldn't be happy if I did it 😂 @Jynx

Sounds lovely @Sunnyside226 I'd love to see it!
You can share as much or as little as you like about your sexuality. I'm queer myself, this is a very non-judgemental space.
It's hard to be away from someone we care about so deeply, especially when things are so hard. I hope you get more opportunities to catch up soon.
Ooh plants! That's a fab idea, aww little gardener in the making!
I will catch you tomorrow hun, I should be around!
