I was invited to a 'stay at home mam's' night out last weekend, idea came about because we don't get to do staff parties, unfortunately my DP being a taxi driver mean't I couldn't goto that either.

[Mother in Need]

Oh yes, I know how you feel, I wish Christmas didn't exist, it is driving my AS son mad from tension and stress and he is driving us all absolutely up the wall. As for going out, forget it, I haven't had a night to myself for years. It is amazing really, I am surrounded by my three sons whom I love to bits, and yet this is a very lonely time for me, and one that we could all do without.

Hi <'> <'> <'>

 

I hope things get better for you and your son, <'> mine had a terrible time as he could not adjust to what was going on at school before the holidays, last time I went out (2 days ago) I felt that people were so stressed out and becoming quite irrational how then our little ASD AS one can ever hope to cope.

I did my food shopping on line to escape from the crowd, and hopefully won't need to go shopping for a good week.

My daughter went out on yesterday and came back over excited and so tired, as for me staying home is the only option, my partner just started a week holiday and has no intention to step out for the next 3/4 days.

Not much fun really but this is how we manage to cope.

 

Take care. <'>

Adamsmum,

 

How old is your baby?

 

Who said you have to be happy at Christmas? My son came up to my room this morning and asked what time I was getting up, I told him Half past boxing day. I think Christmas is a time when we feel life is supossed to be wonderful but it aint, we go through more stress than most as parents of AS kids but ask any parent of any child and you will get the same answer, "it's hell" we expect too much and there is always an anti climax when it ends, usually in tears.

 

Don't try too hard to please everyone, you are not santa, have time for yourself to recharge, even if it means locking the door of the loo for 10 mins, just to get away and relax. Above all tell yourself it's your Christmas too.

 

Best wishes Viper. <'>

cain is 11 months on the 27th dec. wot you said is right. I wish i was santa thou he gets to sleep and dosent get driven mad by kids No i love it realy probably wont say that later but then i will open another bottel and play my roll of miss claus. just think soon it will be over the kids will go back to school and the routine will be back on track

[stressed out mum]

Oh no you are not alone <'>

 

Try to stay calm.

 

Sending you big hugs. maybe we should all get together at this time of year!

 

Open house at ours!!!

[kirstie]

<'> <'> I hope things calm down for you soon , i know how you feel. My baby is doing exactly the same right now im exhausted. Every time he wakes up through the night and i put him back down he starts crying again it's driving me nuts to be honest because in between this Lewis is up an about bouncing off the walls!! (my baba is only 4 months)

and what exactly is a night out.............????

[Tensing]

No exactly how you feel, all comes at once doesn't it.

[adamsmum]

Well my boy won't go in his cot will sream all night if i try. Adams over the worst with his ear but eat to meny sweets. and the other two are climbing the walls Who said let ther be peace on earth we dont get none oh well better sort out the brood before thay totaly trash the house

[elaine1]

aww sorry to hear that, have u no other family who will help. some men are worse than useless it has to be said. (((((huggs)))))))))

[adamsmum]

My family are all in London and Essex. I don't speak with most of them my mum can't cope with kids i think she likes to pretend that nothings up with them as last time i spoke to my sister she didn't even know about Adam let alone the other two. My old mans not to bad with them really as long as he's got beer and he's not on his own. To be honest if i did have a baby sitter i don't know wot i'd do.
