Bad day

[Dizzykate]

Bad day, well really only a bad evening, been eating well all day, had a nice long walk with the dog and then had a parenting moment with my 18 year old and resorted to vodka and pringles to cheer me up .... feel sick now....oh well tomorrow is another day!

Hi Dizzykate

Sorry to hear your having a bad night, those parenting moments with teenagers can be hard. Start afresh tomorrow you will be fine. Well done on eating well during the day.

Thank you, I realise I am most absolutely an emotional eater! Will have to plan strategies to manage this in future.

[YellowRose55 in reply to Dizzykate]

We all get those moments I had one last week and ending up eating ice cream!

Dizzykate sometimes needs must. It will soon be tomorrow, a brand new day we haven't even started on yet! Hope the sickness doesn't develop into a hangover, I am sure you don't deserve one.

[Dizzykate in reply to Ceals]

Thank you, only had 2 vodkas but the pringles made me feel sick.. so greasy.. I guess it's good that my tastes are changing x

[Dizzykate]

Haha, well I guess put like that I shouldn't have them in the house! So better shopping list to add to the to do list x

18 year olds can do that to parent quite easily Dizzykate . New day tomorrow. At least you had eaten well all day - well done for that

Hi Lucigret hope you're not still knocking down walls etc. I'm going through the same issues with Wee Miss. Only 12. 13 in September. Going on 18. We put in Boundaries. It's tough going through. Hows your day been? G☺

Hi George56 , being a parent is great fun isn't it - and a lot of hard work- for some reason our children don't always appreciate the boundaries that we put in place!

I have had a good day at my daughters thank you. All the plaster has been removed and tomorrow we are off out to do fun things like visit the garden centre🌺🦋🌼

[George56]

These things happen. Don't beat yourself up over this. I'm your 18yr old Will soon realise how good a Mum you are. Good luck with your journey lass. Have a great weekend. George 56 🙂

Ah, but just look at the lesson you learned - vodka has its uses but pringles are the devil's own food. One that will no doubt serve you well in future, my child...

Hi Kate,Start again today ,forget about the blip.We all have moments when we eat and drink things and then feel regret .Good luck.

[Dizzykate]

Thanks everyone, back on track today, daughter home in one piece after her first night out clubbing, now I feel less stressed! 2 hours in the garden today should have helped rebalance things 😊

Hi Dizzykate, good afternoon to you and your daughter, what a worry & a joy our kids are, hope you are the best of friends again. Have a great 👍Sunday. 💐
