Hi all

Hubby is away for three days so i'm here alone with my two darling sons who have just spent the last hour screaming and shouting at me because they are tired. Thankfully they are both asleep now but i feel really guilty for losing my temper and shouting at them. I don't know how single mothers cope!

Hello Lou, I remember the feeling... I sometimes had my hubby go away for a day or so and I would have the boys, dogs as well as my horse to care for. It is at first an odd feeling until you can relax, enjoy the fact that cornflakes may be for supper that night. ha ha... Have a tubby while the boys are sleeping and don't be too hard on yourself... the boys are picking up the vibes you are sending and will possibly "push" buttons they normally do not.... Try to relax, bake some cookies,,, read them a story.. Find something age appropriate that they will enjoy... This can also be an experience that can be your "special" time... Now, take a deep breath.... find a good movie, a good book,,, take a walk,,, there are limitless things that you can enjoy doing !!! Why not take the boys out for an ice cream cone at the park !!! They would LOVE that !! Hope that I'm helping....

Hi loussie2,
Well, it isn`t easy to have sole care of wee ones.........tempers get frayed and shouting at them happens........all that matters is that we love them, as you do. Now, go and find something to do just for you, only, whatever you do, do it quietly.......in case they wake up!!! lol

Much love,
