Sooo really not having a great day.
Already mentally messed up, not sleeping, eating, drinking, not able to tale time away from my LO very often to bathe properly and been invited to a family barbecue.
Bearing in mind my family live 4hrs drive away (UK here, not something we do daily).
Im happy to attend cause the whole idea is that my son meets his great grandma whos hosting the party. Fine. At the time i was made aware my dad wouldnt be attending. Fine.
Tell my partner, he says hes not taking the day off, we'll get there on time.. whatever.
I make a plan to stop twice on the journey so that my 4.5 month old son doesnt spend too long in the carseat obviously.
Great, all is well.
Gets to today!
Hes made his own plan with 1 stop!! Solely to charge the car.. 'he'll be ok if hes asleep a bit longer'
Already beginning to get frustrated of course. I make him stop sooner by insisting i have to change him. (He did in fact need changing anyway but thats beside the point)
2 hrs into the journey, i get a call... My mum isnt at the party either, shes been invited to the same place my dad is at last minute but they didnt want to tell me sooner or i wouldnt have come at all... But oh no its all good, my siblings will be there!
Really starting to get annoyed now.
About twenty minutes ago? Ish? My sister tells me no theyve gone because my other siblings partner is unwell, went really pale so theyre leaving...
So now im heading to party... Full of people i havent properly seen in about a decade... Without anyone my partner can even speak to properly so hes going to be in even more of a mood than he already is after ive been pissy with him for ignoring our sons needs... Only to be there for about half an hour as bedtime isnt much later than the time we arrive...
And in total, wed have been in the car for 6 goddamn hours!
I am trying so hard not to just say stop the car, im not going anywhere. But we're only half an hour away now.
And gotta make the drive back tomorrow.
Im just regretting getting out of bed at all today.
Currently terrified that my son is going to end up with spinal and breathing difficulties because of this and so incredibly frustrated with my family, and seriously debating ending my relationship over this.
What even the fuck is this day?

Learn more about our guidelines.Hey its okay breath all these taughts and imagination will destroy your peace you are not in control of everything let it go , it is what it isyou might end up meeting someone there and having a nice chat with just relax š ā¤ļø I am here to talk to anytime
I feel you I'm a big ovethinker and I dread any events , starting new things ect. But mostly they turn out to be good and maybe you reconnected with some people and the evening will be great and if not just think that wow you did it! You got out of your comfort zone and did something that made you really uncomfortable and will make you grow. You cannot control people around you like your partner or other family members that are now not coming, the only person that you can control is you, so focus on having some good thought about the situation and turn it around !
And for the baby I onow it's not ideal and your mother instincts wants him to be most comfortable but try and think how babies traveled like 30 years ago where there were no car seats or seat belts ect
I hope you will make it and turn it all around. And looking forward to hear about it
@Inga @Sandra Thank you both. Its been a stressful ass day. I felt better once we were out of the car and around people somehow. Im not a people person so that was a bit odd. But still. Just holding him and knowing he was ok helped so much.
And youre right. Taking a moment to myself to just breathe and remember i can only control myself. And worrying too much is just not healthy.
