No breathing space

[Lonemumof3]

I’m feeling trapped.

Love my kids, so so much and they’re happy children but I just need a break. My youngest, is killing me. Keep asking the dad to help and have her (we are no longer together)

But he only wants to see her, if he can come to my house. So I’m not getting 5 mins away and to myself. I’m seriously thinking of asking social workers to take her into foster care for some time. I need a break before my head bursts or I end up doing something stupid and leaving 3 kids without a mum

Hey, as a single mum 100% of the time i understand that as much as you love your kids, you (all) need some time out from eachother.   Can you suggest to their father that you all meet at the park or somewhere away from the house. You can then leave them to play/do activities and you  have an hour or few to yourself?

Also, depending on the age of your children, can they be enrolled into classes or sports activities if their choice?  And then you can ask their father to help with the dropping and picking up?

 

Just suggestions… stay strong. X
