Just a vent because I am having a particularly rough day. My preK son had explosive diarrhea in the middle of Walmart. To make sure this is clear… it wasn’t In Walmarts bathroom but ironically in the TP aisle. He made a huge scene and had messy pants and of course this happened after I spent an hour getting groceries but before I checked out. I had to abandon my shopping cart with a clerk so I could take him home and get him cleaned up. He is at an age where you don’t expect to need a change of clothes so I had to hunt through my car to find something to wrap around him so l I could take off his poopy pants and not get poop stains all over my backseat. All I had was a roll of paper towels and my favorite winter coat. Shortly before he had the diarrhea he had a very dramatic “fall”. “Fall” because he tripped over his own foot and screamed that I broke his ankle because I didn’t predict he would trip. He has an ear infection and when he is sick, he is really dramatic and crabby. I finally have him in bed next to me because he won’t sleep by himself since his night terrors started a year ago. Thank God he no longer smells like poo.
When I got pregnant I had so many people promise they would help me with my son and not a single person has shown up for me. My now ex-best friend never even visited my baby. My parents never babysat once like they promised. My job was unsupportive and I had to move states to find another job. My ex became a dead beat. My son has no one except for my new boyfriends family. They certainly aren’t as close to him as if it were his own family but at least they remember things like his birthday.
I have no one to lean on or talk to when things get rough. I feel so duped because I followed through with the pregnancy thinking I would have a support system. So many people made so many promises and not a single one followed through. Having a child is hard and people need people to lean on some times.
I adore my son and know that with him I will forever have someone to love and to be loved by which is particularly important to me since I was raised by a narcissist. I just feel like crying especially after a long as f&$k weak at work.
Also to make things even more sadly comical….I caught the virus that gave him the ear infection and diarrhea. When do I get to rest in bed ?? Why don’t I get to call in sick? Who is going to sacrifice their winter coat if I get explosive diarrhea at Walmart and don’t have a change of clothes?? I His dad doesn’t pay a penny and I can’t afford a day off. I wish his dad lived closer to me so I could drop off his son’s poopy pants and car seat and tell him to get the stains out!!
Anyone else relate?? Are you dealing with broken promises and episodes diarrhea at Walmart?
