So 10 yr old has a interschool sporting event tomorrow that he hasn't been to before. So he is anxious about the unknown.

I've been trying to hype it up to get him excited and our 12 yr old and other teens have also been telling him how fun it is.

I was having one final chat to him about it before he went to bed and he kept saying he didn't want to go.

Then partner pipes up and tells him he is going and he needs to stop being stupid and to grow up and that he isn't staying home and just on and on in a angry sort of voice. I did try and tell him that mr is jaut anxious about the unknown. But partner just tells him to stop being silly.

So 10 yr old gets upset and storms off to bed saying he hates this house and partner says go live somewhere else then.

So now I know I'm going to have the struggle of gearing mr 10 even out of bed tomorrow and to school while trying to get myself to work and 12 yr old to school.

Yes I get partner must never of had to deal with anxiety over the unknown but I wish he would just try and understand and help make things better instead of worse.

So anyone got any tips for getting a stubborn 10 yr old off his top bunk and fed, dressed and to school?

One thing I hate thst hormones do to me is the headaches. Woke up with one Yesterday and took 3 nurofen during the day to get rid of it. Plus had a very busy day with getting ready for my dad and step mother to come for dinner.

Then last night I woke up at 2am feeling nauseous, felt like I was going to throw up and feeling rather hot even though it was cold (maybe a hot flush?). It happens some cycles and is really annoying. And then my bowels decided they were upset and needed to be emptied thanks to ibs.

Took a few hours for that to settle so I barely got any sleep. Then this morning reluctantly got up and the headache hit throbbing at the back of my head again and it was a struggle to eat my toast.

Informed partner that I didn't feel able to go with him and my Dad for s ride up the bush on the quad bikes. Didn't think my stomach could handle the bumpy dirt road.

Now they have left and the second nurofen is helping my head and I am wishing I went with them after all. I want to spend a few hours sitting behind my man on the quad bike, teasing him and being close and showing Dad and Step Mum our playground :(

I recently purchased a PS2 with some games.

It did not come with controllers so I got some knock-off ones for cheap as I didn't want to spend lots on genuine ones of the PS2 didn't work.

Also had to get a PS2- HDMI converter.

So finally got it all up and running but some of the games dont work properly. Can't get GT to load past the initial words which is a shame as the boys were looking forward to playing it. And the Mortal Combat keeps freezing.

So my question is do we think it is a problem with the actual games or the knock off controllers?

So I had a bad night's sleep because partner was snoring and then cats and dog kept wanting to go out and I needed to get up to pee a couple of times.

Then I had a Doc appointment this morning where I asked about HRT. So she gave the low down and told me the side affects and how estrogen is linked to possibly causing breast cancer, and my Mum had it so family history there but no one else in my family have had it. And then how progesterone can possibly cause cancer of the womb and she suggests a mirena as the form of progesterone. But I'm not comfortable with having one in me. So I have to go for the tablets.

And then she mentioned possible problems with bleeding at times other then my period.

But before I even start taking the estrogen I have to have a mammogram to make sure everything is ok in there to start off with.

All I really want is something to help my anxiety and fatigue as they are getting bad.

And I forgot to ask her about something to help my anxiety when I have to go get teeth extracted. So now I'm worried about that as well as taking the meds.

And then I was backing out of supermarket carpark and I looked in every direction a few times before I started backing out as I always do. Was constantly checking mirrors and my surroundings as I backed out slowly. And then I hit something. Thought it was just a pole so I carried on out of the carpark. But as I was driving along I was trying to think if there was actually a pole there. I parked at my next spot and a car pulled up next to me and lady got out and came and asked if she hit me. So turns out it was a car that I hit and not a pole. If my brain had been working I would of realised straight away what had happened. I'm thinking she must of not seen me backing out and she must of backed out of her spot quickly otherwise she would of seen me backing out slowly. Only some paint off the side bumper of my car but apparently her bumper had a Crack.

So anyway now that has made me feel worse about my day and my head is so tired and I just want to sleep. But I've got so much to work out and my head just can't deal with it all and I still didn't get around to putting the vacuum over or doing some baking like I need to.

So my man seems to be rather forgetful when it comes to home life. So work stuff and things he needs to do for himself takes priority in his memory.

For example just this last week.

First he also me if mr 17 should be up already, I remind him he gets up at 7.30 on the days he drives himself to school. Yet the next time mr 17 is not up by 7 partner again asks if we should wake teen up saying he is normally up by now. I again point out that he gets up at 7.30 on soccer days, 5 mins later he walks out of his room at 7.32.

Teen had a job interview on Monday morning. I had a talk with partner the night before telling him what time it was happening. Teen spent the night with his friends and stayed at a friend's. We had already talked about how he would pop home and get the car and leave at 9.30 for town. And I told my man all that. Monday morning partner calls Teen at 7am to make sure he was up so he wouldn't be late for his interview. He thought it was at 9am even though we had spoken about the correct time.

Teen was at home by 9 and gone by 9.30 as he had planned. He is on to it and would not miss a job interview.

Turns out the guy who was interviewing him forgot about the interview and wasn't even there.

I told partner about it yesterday evening when he got home and said that the interviewer was going to arrange another time but we dont know when.

Partner gets home today and asks Teen how his interview went today and apparently I had told him that

It was happening today.

I did not.

I feel like he just doesn't listen to what we talk to him about and just hears what he wants and then remembers things the wrong way.

He forgets so much to do with us as a family yet im expected to remember everything.
