OMG!!! At the end of my tether....just because I work from home people think that they can visit me whenever even though I am WORKING!!! Don't get me wrong, I love having people over. But when I've got a house full of kids it's not always practical.
The basis of my rant is that my parents (bless em) collect one of my own children from an after school club and when they bring her home, they expect to come in and have a cup of tea. This is the worst time of the day for me as I'm trying to get everyone fed, babies are tired and miserable and I'm dead on my feet. I find it really difficult to just drop everything and the house is going full pace. My parents think it's all madness at the best of times and they always leave shaking their heads, after making a few random comments and I'm left behind feeling so deflated by it all . This evening I was particularly snappy and when they left, they looked a bit shell shocked lol. I just don't know how to politetly tell them that its not convenient to pop in even though they have done me a massive favour by bringing one of my children home.
