Feeling frustrated right now

sending you lots of hugs @Former-Member

how did the rest of the day go my friend xx

Sending you much love @Former-Member . Sounds like it was a bit of a "when it rains, it pours" morning, but you got through it (and the rest of the day). How was your afternoon?

Hi @outlander , @Shaz51 and @Ali11,

It was definitely a rough morning but putting that aside the rest of the day went okay. Did food shopping and got his cereal thank God it's Wednesday tomorrow as he has tuckshop which means not having to do his lunch up tonight. And I found all of his socks today so he has the right colour socks.

Hoping tomorrow goes better but in saying that it is state of origin dress up day at the school tomorrow and he is funny about these days as he wants to join in but doesn't like wearing different clothes to school so we have discussed just wearing a maroons jacket over his school uniform so we will see what happens in the morning going to send his school jumper as well anyway just incase.

Glad you got some things done today @Former-Member hopeing tomorrow doesnt present to many challanges for you.

Hi @outlander , @Ali11 and @Shaz51 ,

Well I was right he changed his mind not doing tantrums today so just going to let him dress as he wants, I'm not going to force him to free dress when he doesn't want to.

Hi @Former-Member

What's happening?

Sorry @Former-Member I didn't reply sooner been really busy my Mr 6 wants to start a YouTube channel and with recent events he can finally do that so been going between house work setting up an account and preparing a first video for him to do which works in with my YouTube channel.

Other than that I have been trying to decide what to do about This

@Former-Member

Taking on your 3 half siblings is a big thing, will you get any financial/emotional support with this? These precious little ones would come to you wounded and whilst in desperate need of appropriate love and care may take time to adjust/trust. Children however are remarkably adaptable, it might be harder for the adult/s in the house to adjust to 3 extras including a toddler.

Only you can decide this, perhaps connecting with your pdoc or therapist to get a professional opinion might be worthwhile especially if your heart is full of love for them. You might find if you do decide to take them, you might need some "preventative" therapy sessions to keep you in remission.

Is it possible to have them for a month for a "holiday" and see how you manage?

I'm not worried about coping with little ones @Former-Member @ I've been constantly around kids as I have 7 nieces and nephews ranging from 3months to 6years

While the month would be easier if I lived closer but they are in NSW and I am in mid North Qld it wouldn't be right to uproot them that much to potentially have to go somewhere else in a month.

Especially for miss 7 as I have been through what she has and know that what she needs desperately right now is something stable and reliable

But I also have my son to think about and he struggles with even the smallest change but this would be major changes that would not only change the routines he is use to but also his lifestyle.

I would get government assistance at least until the youngest starts school but after that would be solely our own income
