They want cooked on the barby. I dont find doing that. Its 10 minutes that will take my mind of things.
Unfortunately i just to explain to my eldest son sort of whats going on and i need his help around the house. I feel so putting on him but i know he is willing to help.

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
That’s good if the kids can help out @Bubbles3 because everyone is involved in supporting the health of the family, at whatever capacity they can manage. I had three babies under 2yo to start with, then it was four under 8yo, then five under 10yo. Teaching my oldest child to answer the phone, and getting the different kids to bring me things do the baby, or set the table, or whatever they could do really helped to take the pressure off, and that helps everybody.

Sometimes it feels like i put under to much pressure. He is nearly 9. And i have just told him about the court case and that im really struggling and emotional at the moment. Is that to much to p ut on him. He is a very smart kid and he like to know what goes on with me otherwise he gets confused

Re: I dont know how much longer i can go on like this
I agree with telling him @Bubbles3, as long as you keep it matter-of-fact, and try to be brave about it all ..... it helps him to understand, because he will be understanding that something is wrong, so at least he knows what it is and doesn’t start to fear something worse.
It is important not to burden him with issues that b long between you and your husband though, as much as you can.help it ..... try to keep couples issues behind closed doors.
Also reassure him that something will get worked out with the courts eventually.
It shows him how to be brave, and how to carry on working at problem solving, but you’re also keeping it real and letting him know that problems exist ..... everybody has them ...... and the small ways he can help you mean a lot.

I hioe im doing the right thing by telling him. The other 2 found out and my youngest starting cry thinking that i was coming back. So i put hubby on the phone to explain thing better to them. He does a better job than i do.
