How is your day going?

Sorry to hear you're sad today, gentle hugs. I've had two power naps today, seems to be like this everyday for the last couple of months, I'm having a CT scan as they think it's down to a kidney stone or other 😔 which I dread to think about.

Do you have an understanding family if you need to wake them in the middle of the night? I sure if they're understanding they wouldn't like to see you struggle.

I feel like that sometimes, being a burden and stuff, and always ask and my family always say that the only burden is when | keep asking if I'm a burden 😂

I know how you feel though, even if they say you are OK, it feels like you are putting on them when they do enough as it is

At the end of the day though they want to help you, and if you ask them for exactly the help you need it saves them just guessing what will help you and they can do exactly what you need instead of random stuff

Hey everyone I hope yous have had a decent day I see some members have struggled and I hope things get better soon.
I was out shopping with my daughter then went for a coffee, my granddaughter wanted to come here for a while so she’s here she had her dinner now she’s colouring in. Her mum will pick her up soon.

@Marydoll5
Oh the weathers been crazy here heavy wind and rain one minute then a bit off sunshine the next. Oh that’s lovely you’re going away tomorrow again and a massive well done to your fiancée on his one year sober that’s a massive achievement.

@Sandy_123
Oh sounds like you had a great day and the photos are brilliant.

❤️

Thank you re the scan 😊 I have four grown up children who live away from home , also am raising my nearly 5 year old granddaughter, no matter what age, if they need me in the night (if they stayed with me ) I would rather they wake me, I wouldn't like to see anyone struggle.

It's turned really chilly here, have my hot water ready and heating up the bed nicely 😊

@Nicebrit You are doing a great job, especially taking on your granddaughter. I bet that she is so grateful for you. 😀

Hope you manage to warm up soon. 😊

Thank you 😊 she is just awesome, I have 5 granddaughters altogether 😊 and they're all cheeky, funny, and cherished 💛

When all 5 together it's havoc, I need at least two weeks to recuperate 😂

It's just me and my granddaughter at home, but it's so so quiet when she is at School, Six weeks of School holidays soon, with sleepovers and mornings out 😊

@SunflowerValley

I feel the same about parents and family (I live at home)! I feel like my parents are bound to me almost. I come away with them all the time on short breaks and things, but sometimes I wonder if they would sometimes like a holiday on their own???

Similar to you my Mum gave up work, there were a few reasons but looking after me I think was a big one.

I'm told I do contribute, if I was able I probably would work as an accountant or something so I do the best I can which is to advise/manage relatives' money and I do invest the family money to provide the family with extra income/capital gains … and also I do little bits like I'm the go-to person for everyone's computers and things when they go wrong 😆

I think it's about finding something you do, to make yourself feel better about yourself. There is obviously something you do otherwise, to put it bluntly, your family wouldn't have you! It might be something that seems insignificant to you like just being there to listen to them or giving them emotional support but maybe identifying that thing would be a good idea

I need to go to the shop now but will see everyone later or maybe tomorrow😊 have a good evening everyone!!
