View Full Version : 1st day
I know most of the treads on here are about being new so I thought I'd add another. My BF left for basic training this morning and left behind me and the kids Cairan (4) and Amber (1). I thought they would be upset, but I'm the one all teary!
He isn't even anywhere dangerous and will be home for a visit in 6 weeks - please tell me this gets easier. We1ve lived together for 6 years-
I don't know how to cope.
XXXXXXX
Hey,
It DOES get easier! hardest bit is the first bit!! keep busy, keep active, see as many of your mates as you can, you'll be fine hun!
big hugs!

mandymoo sorry you're feeling teary hun, it's only natural. It's difficult coping with young kids alone when your hubby is away but you'll do just fine hun. You'll probably be surprised how much stronger it'll make you and the kids will keep you busy during the day.
Have you got family close by? that you can spend time with? or get some mates round for a girly night in etc,a bottle of wine and a good ole chinwag usually lifts the spirits!
hi hun, Im Helen.... really it does get easier.... well you get used to it anyway..... The first few weeks willl be strange for you till you get in to a routine.....I have 2 girls and we both know how important routine is. Then by the time thats over you will be looking forward to him coming back....
come on here tho, they are all so nice. xx

Thanx everone, I had to go over the school in BIG sunglasses to hide my bloodshot eyes, it doesn't help that his mum picks her kids up from the same school (Big family) and is completely against it. She puts a downer on it, but it's all he's wanted to do for a job.
I'm feeling better, but fish fingers for the kids and a ready meal for me feels lonley, the kids will have to start eating thier veg!
yea u hav to reduce the amount of food u buy a week! when my OH is home i have to buy more as he eats so much! lol

heyhun welcome to wags!
It is hard at first but after a while it becomes 2nd nature! I've got a 2 year old and she seems to adjust quite easily to Daddy being here and then not being here, kids cope better than we do!
Dont feel ashamed to cry! a good old cry will make you feel loads better! xx
hiya hun

hey hun. as the girls have said it does get easier. shaun went to the falklands last night. the first few days are always the hardest, you'll be fine in a week or so. chin up xx
Well, I just spoke to him, which set me off again!!! but in the end I was the one reassuring him. You just don't realise how much you take them forgranted when they're around all the time, maybe this is what we nwwd to make us stronger.
