hi all

Annoyed at son today he claims my friends dog peed on his bed and has been sleeping on the couch. His bed atm is a mattress on the floor as he has destroyed bed number 3 he has been in a bed since 2 an a half and has wrecked 3 beds 2 were king singles he has also put wholes in his innerspring mattress.
Well I have told him to put disenfectant on the pee and flip the mattress he reckons it still smells.
I have earmarked $120 for textbooks for Uni which would have cost me $350 do u reckon I should give up this money to buy him another bed,
I dont reckon so I have asked some friends if they can help me out and I'm going to ring the church in t he morning. This always happens to me I have money earmarked for me and he breaks something and I have to replace it not this time he can get stuffed he can sleep under the tree for all I care I am well and truely over him. He's in his room cleaning up the brothel I cleaned it up for him 2 weeks ago next day he pulled out all his plastic soldiers and things outa his wardrobe and it was a brothel again I give up I wanna throw the towel in I cant do it anymore I just wanna be by myself with the dog and cat. I am over this mother bs I have no help from any1 no respite nothing its just not fair I should have adopted him at birth!!

Hi Kezza

Oh I am sorry you having a horrible time with DS. Sending you HUGS. Is there any reason for his destructive behavior Kez?

It sounds like you might need some respite now and again. Is there anyone at church that can give you a break or a friend?

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time 😞

I'd help you out if you were closer to me, but being right out near falls creek kind of means I am very out of the way.

Try and do something for you when DS is in bed tonight, just pamper yourself a little ok? and take care:-x

Hi Bella and you are so lucky having three kitties........we have just the one and she can be precious:)........she and the little doggie are now good buddies but wasnt like that in the beginning:(

Have a wonderful Australia Day with all the family:)

They are pretty cute 🙂 We also have a Dalmatian, total nut case lol, hope thats not a reflection on the family ROFL:^O

I just added two canaries to the managery lol
Hope you also had a great Australia day. OH has been busy grouting (yep persistence pays lol 😉 Boy boy!!!!!

He's also tiling around the bath although got cranky his brand new tile cutter doesn't work and he so did not keep the box or the receipt. So off to buy another tomorrow or he'll make do with the grinder.

He's off to get two new windows for the house Friday so no doubt he'll be a busy boy for a while. Now he'll have three things on the go bathroom outside house painting and windows.

Should keep him occupied for a while lol 😉 Anyway hope you had a great day today JV

Hiya bella you are such a sweetie!! Bet those princesses adore the kitty cats - and it sounds like major reno's at your place!

Re the renos-You bet lol, house had roof leaks, window leaks all kinds of things that need fixing. Lucky OH is so handy and does it very cheaply, otherwise we would be lost.....

Hope you've had a really nice day miss:-x

Hugs Kezza and sorry you are having a tough time with the little one........wondering also like Bella are there reasons why he might want to destroy his bed etc.........kids can be real hard to figure out sometimes:(

Cheery evening everyone! Hi JVH enjoy that dinner on Wed with the family! Will it be at your son's new house? Sorry to hear Chrissie's pain meds had to be doubled - not a good sign but hopefully keeping her pain free. Hiya bella you are such a sweetie!! Bet those princesses adore the kitty cats - and it sounds like major reno's at your place! Thank you for being so kind! Dame was great to see you in here the other day - hope you are enjoying the long weekend! Hi scatty nice to see you kicking back for a change! Purple glad the hols still going well. Do adore Tassie! Tasfleur thank you for the update on Pjbear - pjbear do hope you are well enough to come out of hospital today - ((())) for you!!! Kezza glad you have all those movies to keep you occupied with all that rain! Stay safe around those cyclones! Waves to libby, jomiss, and everyone else!!!! Went for a major shop today - (Myer sales) - was fun!! Out tomorrow to a friend's Aust. Day function. Enjoy!!!

Hi Miss and yes we are supposed to be going up this evening for dinner but somewhere sometime to day i have to try to get my car serviced.........apparently the Princesses parents are coming down on Sunday so we might make it for then.....this dreadful weather is knocking the stuffing out of me and i dont feel like doing anything:(

Hi there to the thread:) I am enjoying my time off lol Today would have to be one of the most special times in my life, I received a gift from a very good friend that must have taken so much time effort and love to get together for me, it is quite remarkable, not expensive but rather time consuming, and I feel so totally honoured and appreciative of it, as it is something to share with all of my family, and my grandies will remember it long after I depart this world. I just feel so blessed to have this wonderful friend. Just thought I would like to share that kindness I had bestowed on me today, I am one very fortunate person to have such a friend. As I always say, take care and God bless!

Hi Dame and great to see you out and about:) Hope you are not working too hard:)

Good afternoon everyone!

Hi JVH hope you get some reprieve from the weather - sounds like it is a bit much atm! Hope you manage to juggle the car service and enjoy a nice relaxing dinner tonight!

Hey kezza - hold your breathe and count to ten and remember.....school goes back next week lol! I think a lot of parents are at the end of their tether atm - have you considered the salvation army shops for a new bed? I was told they are properly sanitized etc. before sale and come very cheap. I'm pulling my hair out today after looking after a 2yr and a 5yr old - but at least I get to 'walk away' - wish you could get a break too - it helps to re-charge the batteries!

Hi bella - you are so lucky having a 'handy OH' - my OH is not, unfortunately, but my brother is a builder lol and we are very close.

Waves to libby, dame, scatty, jomiss, lilly, purple, and everyone!!

Had a great lunch yesterday with friends - lasted into the evening - hope everyone enjoyed their Australia Day too!!
