When each of us elects to bring a child into this world, the duty and responsibility of raising that child lies with us. Should a grandparent kindly offer yo help on occasion, that's a bonus bad ought never to be taken for granted. You are far too selfless, but your symptoms and emotional state are a clear indication that you need to start putting yourself first. At least, until you have seen the specialist and had all the necessary checks. Also, please do discuss your current emotional state with him.

It isn't your responsibility to bring up other people's kids - if you help out, you are doing them a favour and they should be grateful for whatever you CAN do, not expect you to do everything. It sounds like you need some TLC yourself - I hope your arm gets better and you have a great week ahead.Red Nomad OZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020668094026661054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-7711901105715534312015-11-15T14:50:28.488+11:002015-11-15T14:50:28.488+11:00Oh, I hope you got a nap.
I agree with your Mom....Oh, I hope you got a nap. <br />I agree with your Mom. You should have child-free weekends...all month, though! They should think about your health and welfare and not just their own wants. Tell them you need your weekends. If you keep pushing yourself you might end up not being able to help at all. You have to be kinder to yourself and physically take care of yourself.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.com
