Hello

Hello

Evening, so lonely right now. Life hasn't gone to plan. One wants to be around me but they do tell me why. I just get cut off. How can I improve myself if I don't know

Re: Hello

Please try not to stress @Leglessfrog078 .... he might be unwell, have a headache, had friends drop in, out with his mum or somebody, at a BBQ, ..... you can't see through the phone ...... and if he thought you had blown him off, but now your text says you are still interested, he might be trying to work out what to text back to you ..... and might want to leave it 24 hours to see whether you are panicking, clingy, etc.

It's hard to wait, especially if you are feeling that panic, but you owe yourself self-respect .... and you will regret it if you throw yourself at him and he runs away.

Feeling for you. Stay steady.

@Former-Member haven't left my room today unless it's a toliet run. Monkeys have run if the house. I know it's going to be a mess and its my fault. Monkeys have been fighting over various things and I've got no control.
I've tried leave the room but I found a reseaon to run back. I going to take the monkeys to the park but as we where to leave I saw the mess in the lounge room and kitchen. Told them off and returned to the room🙃

Re: Hello

Can you make a deal with the monkeys @Leglessfrog078 ?

Ten minutes clean up in the mess zone, then an hour at the park, then ten minutes more clean up the mess zone, then take-away for dinner ..... the one who does the most clean-up gets to choose the dinner ?

I’ve got five baby dragons (that’s what monkeys grow into) and making deals with them was the best way to get things done,

Re: Hello

I was just about to post a reply I meant to post earlier (but had monkeys) when this came through @Leglessfrog078.

It's so hard to manage little people and the house work/chaos that can come with them.

We have one room that's pretty much theirs to do as they want in. It's their 'playroom' and they share a bedroom. They can take an activity or thing out into the loungeroom/dining room to work on but need to pack it up afterwards, but big mess and chaos goes to the playroom. I wonder if there is an area in your home that you can give them to play in to try and contain it?

This was part of the reply I had written -

As for the house, I'm big on having things organised and can quickly find myself struggling when the house isn't organised. I get that there has to be a bit of give with kids in a house, but something like having two times usual 'stuff' as you said you have now, would really do my head in.

When I start feeling overwhelmed, I find making lists really helpful. Asking myself what I can do right now, what can wait, what has to wait, what is most important, what would help me feel better if I could do, what might need some extra time/resources etc... can kind of clear up some space in my head to start tackling things bit by bit.

Hope there's something helpful in that. @Faith-and-Hope has some great ideas 🙂

Also very cool to hear you enjoy coloured hair and singing/dancing while you're walking around. Me too ☺ And crafty anything is something I enjoy too.

Hope there is something that feels good for you in this evening.

@Faith-and-Hope
Hate to say it but we score a huge F
Asked monkeys to help and the reward a trip to the park. They walked around over what need doing, I then pointed the main things to be done. They then sat and watched TV. Realising I wasn't in main area the came to the bedroom and asked for the reward.
