I've nc'd for this. I'm not a journalist. Cod / rivers of poo etc.
I think I'm sinking fast.
DS is 2.3yo. I work part time from home, with odd days in the office. I am exceptionally lucky in that DS is healthy and reasonably happy.
But I don't think I am happy.
I am terminally bored and grumpy all the time. DS is at the lovely tantrum stage with early waking at 5 (later bedtimes/cutting naps not working) and, thanks to nursery one day per week, has an almost permanent "ick" going on - either a cold, or a bug, or something else.
I hate cars, Duplo, castles and all the toddler stuff. I try to organise "stuff" like classes, play dates, time out, but I need to work; it should be when he naps, but he is starting to drop his nap and work is being as flexible as possible, but I have deadlines.
It's always pouring with rain, or snow or windy (we live in the coast) and DS wants to go out, then 3 minutes later he wants to come back in.
I'm relying more and more on TV to help occupy him as he will not play without me and there is only so much "that's lovely dear" I can do about pushing a car over the floor.
The house is getting to be a tip, I can't get away to clean anything, and I don't want to do anything anyway. I don't want to cook, and menu planning has gone down the tubes as DS doesn't eat "food" anyway.
I have an ongoing health issue which may be serious - I'm waiting for results, so that's not helping.
In short; I've had it and I want to run away.
I know there is nothing anyone can do, but I needed to vent.
