This will be my 1st post on my new blog, and I am really amped to start writing or should I say ranting.
This blog was born from frustration and in the hope that "others" like me ..out there in blog world are having the same feelings and frustrations as I am.
About a year ago my husband and i breathed a sigh of relief as our last born left the nest, Yes, I know some parents out there are saying "How could you be so horrid" well if they are truly honest with themselves they will admit that it is a relief. Financial and otherwise. We had our home all to ourselves, I could walk the house wearing only my bloomers and a T shirt. I could eat when I wanted to, I was able to watch what I wanted on the Telly, it WAS wonderful, I guess you have noticed my use of the past tense in all the above situations...and that is exactly what it is..in the past :(
Four months ago, the last born returned...well.. that was not to bad..at 19 he pretty much hung out in his room or disappeared with friends and is to a certain extent financially independant.. A month later the 2nd last born (not sure if that the correct term) also returned.......but not alone. It returned home, eight months pregnant, with a spouse, two children under the age of 3 and the mother in law! OK so we managed to pack the mother in law off within a week to her other relatives. But two months later..I am ready to pack my own bags and leave my own home for a tiny shack up in the mountains...if only I could find one.
Over the next few weeks I will be publishing blow by blow events as they happen, I will appreciate every bit of feed back, comment, agreement, disagreement on this, It will make me feel 100% normal again just to know that maybe, just maybe THAT I AM NOT ALONE!!!
