I must be 1 really crap mum - feeling sh**ty

Well J had a chest infection which has triggered off a mild astma, Isaac's constipation has come bk and his follow up isnt until next monday and Tyler has dropped 2 centiles (sp?) on his weight chart since birth. HV great and said not to worry too much as he is not major underweight but thats easier said than done when ur the 1 responsible for them. They've all been up this morning (inc baby) since 5 with a nasty chesty cough and i didnt go to bed till gone 12, plus i woke up at 2 to feed Tyler. Im soooooooooo tired!

To top it all off my Dad phoned last night to say his psa levels where high so he had to have a blood test which confirmed pre cancerous cells and now his ... eherm... 'bits' - not nice to hear aboout ur dads bits - are enlarged and it could be cancer. He lives 150 miles away from me as do all my family so i cant even go and give him a cuddle.

Not feeling great this morning :cry:

Elaine and her rattling boys :\( xx

    your not a crap mum - i wouldnt even know where to start with three to take care of so you are doing fab hun... i think its just bad luck that this all happened at once not a reflection on you.

    As for you Dad - so sorry to hear he is ill. I'm sure he knows how much you care even if you aren't close by. Hope it all works out ok for him... keep us posted!
