Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

Lil Caterpillar .. 6 or older is old enough to quit it.

If they dont quit it and your mother does not encourage them to stop too, then there are family dynamic issues .. beyond your control.

When I was 6, I had 2 littlies to look after.

I would not get reactive with her anymore. Tune out, and find someone in family or mh team who actually do support you in doing productive things. There is no point in allowing overly bratty behaviour to develop. Ask mother to be clear about boundaries. When SUPERVISION is her responsibility and when it is yours. WIth mh worker present.

Somehow "Society" keeps lowering expectations on "children" and raising them on "caregivers".

Its a pity cos the holiday you are on is lovely. SO its a shame when things go pear shaped.

Oddly both my daughter and I paid for our own rented flats to get a sufficient space to get our study off the ground. I dont think she realised I had to do that too. Not saying you should do that ...

I could use a nice cup of herbal tea @Former-Member. Perhaps a chamomile if you have it.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

sorry for the late reply guys, just feeling extremeley flat.
Sorry I wasnt very clear on my words either and shouldve been more detailed in my words. Not your fault.
My sisters are ages 6 and 14 and the 14yr old is the one who likes to pester me the most but I guess it doesnt matter, ill just put up with it, its easier than arguing all the time.
Yeah I guess your right about the art as well. Ill just keep doing my own thing for that . And since you guys on here seem to like it I guess I can keep sharing on here with you.
My gp appointment is on next thursday and I cant get In there any earlier which is stressful.
My ankle wil never get better itl stay the same or itll get worse which im hoping its a really really mild sprain thats gone soon otherwise ill prob have to have more ultrasounds to check on the tendon and liagments again.
All my work is on the computer and I didnt loose anything thank god for that. But im starting to think that coming on holidays was a bad idea as theres too many distractions and I cant concentrate on my stuidies. Its very important to me but I seem to have hit lazy mode and cant get into it I even have it on my phone so when I go to bed I can continue studying.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I did have a lovely lunch @Determined. This friend of mine is more like a sister to me. Actually she's a whole lot better than my actual sister who I don't communicate with sadly.
