I can’t cope

[tyme]

So true. But I sense that you know how to support each other as a family @Captain24 . And it's so true about not knowing how long each of us have. 

Since I don't see my parents much, I really want them to come because at least they will keep the house clean and be strict with the kids. My BIL's parents are coming... did I tell you? His mum and dad will stay a year before going back to Sydney, and his aunty will stay 3 months. I'm not looking forward to that. They are not as able as my parents which means we need to look after them. Oh, and the worst part is that the kids will walk all over them. 

[Captain24]

As much as they have damaged me and trigger me, they are my family and we do work through most things together. @tyme. I do question how long I have left also. 

Oh no… more responsibility. A year is a really long time especially when they need help. That sounds so tough. You might need to kick the guy out and move back in yourself for a break! Lol. Are they staying at your sisters place or yours? You don’t cope with how messy their house is now… The kids walking all over them for a year sounds like fun. It’ll be hard to get them back into line after that long! 

[tyme]

LOL! I told the kids I'd move out and go back to my place @Captain24 - they were devastated. So I've just gotta grin and bear it.

The oldies will be staying at my sister's place. But if I'm next door, then we are pretty much altogether. My fear is that the folks will trip and fall on the kids' toys! 

I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Now that I think about it, they are coming next week or the week after!!! Argh! So soon! 

I still have to go back to my other place to remove stuff from that house. I left stuff there thinking I'd live between two houses. But if I'm renting it out, I'll have to take my stuff. I might do that over the weekend.

[Captain24]

Hahaha the kids will get over it! @tyme. 

So soon.. I’ll be here to vent to if you need. I’m a good listener. I’ve put you through enough of my shit and you’ve been awesome. 

Sounds like a semi moving weekend for you. Is your other house very far? 

[tyme]

Lol. Kids are such difficult things. I can see how much sacrifice it is for parents to have kids. The little one here has been sick all evening. She's vomited so many times. @Captain24 

At my age and stage, I very much doubt I can cope with having my own kids lol. 

Thanks for the offer of letting me vent when the oldies come. 

Now come to think of it, I've go more things to do tomorrow than I realise! I'm going to plan it all in my head tonight and then go like the wind tomorrow. I'll take my sister's big car then shove everything in there. The other house isn't far at all. Only a few mins drive.

Anyway, thanks for the chat tonight. We'll chat over the weekend.

[Captain24]

Thank you @tyme it’s what I needed. I feel a little more comfortable on here but I still have a long way to go. 

At least it’s not far. 

Just want you to know that I’m here for you too. 

Don’t make the list in your head it’ll stop you from sleeping. Write it down! Then keep a notepad next to your bed so if you think of something else you can jot it down and not have to think about it! 

Sleep well after you write your list. Lol

Thank you so much for the support over the last week. I really appreciate it and needed it. 

Good night
