ASue67 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Am sooooooooooo fed up and exhausted. Am sick of trying to stop the fighting and arguing and listening to 'I'm bored' all the time. Mike has been such hard work all holiday....... he is not sleeping well despite the melatonin, waking through the night and up early, and then bouncing around all day. My M.E. has got much worse over the last few months and the last 2 weeks have made it even harder to cope with. I could sleep all day, ache all over...... Sorry, just need to let it out before I face a 2hr speech and language appt this afternoon with Mike...................... I will be a wreck by the time I am back in work next week and have only just gone back to work recently after 2 months off with stress.. Off to face the next lot of battles for the day............ wish me luck!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karen A Report post Posted April 17, 2008 <'> <'> I will not pretend to have answers but understand exactly how you are feeling. Not so much fighting here....just constant silly behaviour and noise...and complaints about boredom. I hope you survive the afternoon. <'> Karen.

harmony Report post Posted April 17, 2008 So understand where you are at! holidays have gone on forever!, my 2 eldest go to different schools, the day no1 went back to school after Easter no 2 started his holidays. They are all back on Monday, and it will have been just over 5 weeks with a child at home. AHHHHHHH ( mind you I have the little one here in the afternoons all the time) Harmony x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time she came Mike refused to come downstairs and even look at her and she needs to meet him and talk to him........... Hey ho!!!!! Keep your fingers crossed for me at 10am tomorrow...... yet another mountain to climb Am worn out now and am heading off to bed early, what an exciting life I lead!!!! Thanks again <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted April 17, 2008 Very best for that meeting Yes, these past two weeks have seemed especially exhausting - maybe that 'overlong winter' thing discussed in another thread again? Dunno - but roll on Monday Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ASue67 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Meeting went okish this morning, Mike still refused to come down stairs and talk to her so she went upstairs and sat next to the computer!!!! He ended up telling her about his game he was playing so it worked! She has to come back and do loads more detailed sessions with me as well as set up a multi agency review meeting which will include school, CAMHs, OT and SALT and myself. just hope that after all this SS caan actually provide us with some support and/or help?? 2 more days to get through can I make it????? Hugs to anyone who needs them xxx <'> <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
