Re: The Virtual Village - a space for parenting 'stuff'

Checking in here. @Former-Member wondering how the last day or two have been for you and your little one? @Former-Member thinking of you and sending you and yours my very best wishes. @CrazyTiger hoping you're going ok/ok enough.

I found things hard yesterday and missed having a non-virtual village badly. I really could have used some real life extra hands. I worry that I am back in a space, or at least heading there, where I could really use a proper break but getting it is close to impossible.

In lots of ways I wish I could put my hands up and walk away for a bit sometimes. I wish I could have someone else take over for a moment so I can catch up. It takes huge effort and energy to contain and control myself so I can manage things at home and it's exhausting sometimes.

Anyone else feel or experience something like that one?

Re: The Virtual Village - a space for parenting 'stuff'

@CheerBearsuch a hard place to be, especially without anyone else around to help and gettting that break you need.

Super big hugs hun Heart

@CheerBear Fine thanks, Spent the smorning in emergency as issues with my pelvis had a few tears just want to see my daughter. I had clients booked

Re: The Virtual Village - a space for parenting 'stuff'

Oh no @Former-Member 🙁 Tears are definitely understandable. Are you at home now?

Hugs ❤🐧

@CheerBear Yes i had to sign for admission forms but i am not staying there and am not able too. I will be fine. Just had a mixture of emotions re my daughter & work.

I don't really have the time for that sort of thing to happen. I was driving in the car when it came over and layed down until a mate came. Just get annoyed at myself with that sort of thing and feel pressure on myself in re to keeping on top of it all and making everyone happy all the time also

I literally didn't even want to go there and i was about to just drive to work but yeah

My daughter started crying i started to feel bad for her as most of the time i put on a brave face whilst i lose my s**t at times sometimes though it's written all over

Just many emotions today hope you are well

Re: The Virtual Village - a space for parenting 'stuff'

Hi @Former-Member. That's a really hard day 🙁 I hope you aren't in too much pain tonight. It would be hard to feel that pressure of work and of caring for you daughter, especially when things turn quickly as it sounds like it did.

Hoping you are with her and managing ok tonight.

Re: The Virtual Village - a space for parenting 'stuff'

@CheerBear Tomorrow is another day

Re: The Virtual Village - a space for parenting 'stuff'

Sure is @Former-Member. Reminding myself of that one a bit tonight (most nights really) also.
