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.

Hi @Shaz51, have missbug 8, mrchef 7, misssparkles 5.5 and misspeople almost 2. So three at school (kindy year 1 and year 2) makes for a very loud and exciting home. Hehe i can plan everything down to 15min intervals and have strict routines (2 diagnosed asd) yet still anything could and does happen in a day. Wouldnt have it any other way though! Your s.kids all adults now, are you close by, any babies yet?

I hear you @Ceebubbles .... I had 5 kids under 10yo .... operated like our own little school .... everything had to be scheduled to be able to manage.

One of mine has special needs. At one stage we had a four point drop off and collect for school, for two years.

Well done 😊

No small achievement there .....

@Faith-and-Hope wow any tips you could pass over?
I hear you i did three school drop off and pick ups at one point and preg with terrible morning-travel sickness. It is no easy feat... turns out labour is the easy bit haha.

Ohhh i can wait... we have enough slamming of doors other preteen behaviour. Mrchef is currently just at a size i cant physically be the one holding him in full meltdown. And he knows it so now anything that he doesnt want to do not even sensory will go straight to that level from choice. Am constantly surprised at the energy, stamina and endurance and focus shown by these little people. But its a work in progress and there are alot of positives. i just have to remind myself to compare us to only ourselves yesterday. Sending hugs your way!
