I've always done every tiny bit of child-related admin, every single doctor/dentist/orthodontist/sports fixture/parent-teacher/school assembly/school shoe fitting/PE kit finding/form filling/insert random endless child stuff here. So this is new, even him coming to ds2's performance last month, and promising to come to his dance thing next month, very new. And we were just texting about what documents ds1 might need for his interview tomorrow, which dh is taking him to. Typical, 17 years of admin and he finally steps in just when it's nearly over It is hugely time-consuming, I'm kind of used to it now but it's hard to juggle when you're busy and yet another form needs printing out and filling in and nagging to get to the school office before the deadline!
Exercise helps a bit but really I just have to wait for it to pass. I told dh this morning how rotten I was feeling physically and he was sympathetic. I might warn him that I might be emotional tomorrow as a result and to just give me a hug and reassurance.
