I feel a bit silly and somewhat selfish coming on here and writing down my worries and complaints, considering I know some ladies on here have much much more reason to vent than I do. I just felt the need to write it all down and have a bit of a whinge, though!

The other day I rolled my ankle, which I'm sure most would agree, is painful for a while and most irritating! Then when that felt better after 2 or so days, I hurt my back. I have had back pain in the past, but this was different. My main problem is carrying Noah around, especially up and down our steep stairs. As most will know, he can't walk yet and he is 18 months old tomorrow, so you could imagine his weight isn't exactly helping my back, but I don't have much choice! I wish I could move all his things downstairs so I didn't have to carry him up and down all the time!

My partner can't help me at the moment because during the start of the week I stay with my mum who has MS and help her out, while he studies for his diploma. My mum can't help me much because she is limited in what she can do now, and I'm here to help her while my younger sister is at school and my step dad is at work. Sometimes I wish things were easier and more simple!

Tomorrow is my twin nephews' 6th birthday party, which I am supposed to be helping with, literally straight after Noah having his 18 month injections at the doctors. It is going to be interesting!

I feel so bad when Noah shuffles up to me on his bottom and wraps himself around my legs because he wants to be picked up, he just looks at me and wonders why I'm not picking him up! Those big eyes staring at me as if to say "Pweeeeeease!".

I know my complaints are pretty much insignificant, I just needed to blurt it out without my family having to listen! Thank you for taking the time to read, I just feel useless at the moment!

Hopefully all of you are well!

Thank you so very much for such kind words! I just love the BabyHold Family! The fact that a handful of strangers can be so kind and caring to one another really makes this forum one of a kind! (I think I said "kind" too much haha)

Shann, you're definitely not useless. You're a great person

I hope that your back will feel better soon, and good luck to you and Noah while he is learning how to walk!!!

Have a great day,
Adele XOXO

Oh, don't worry. I'm sure you'll manage.
Don't feel bad about complaining, either!
