   Oh Lisa, I remember the feeling oh too well. Talk to your partner tell your partner exactly how you feel the running away and everything. Encourage the kids to help where possible. Have you thought you may be suffering depression? If you have thought so visit your doc its very common and nothing to be ashamed of. Before you know it your children will have flown the nest and you will wonder how on earth you managed. But with the right support you will say "I just did". And you will be off enjoying me time regularly. Best wishes. x

   Thanks for your advice Roger.... I will try and speak with them. They are very approachable people.
   I did try and speak with my ex husband but his attitude is that they will find a place to misbehave if they want to, so it may as well be where you know where they are!!! .... not very helpful but I can see his point.

   How well do you know the parents of the boyfriend, it may cause ruptions but if you had a word with them about what you found in the diary and all of you got together and spoke to your daughter and her boyfriend at the same time it may stop your daughter getting pregnant. Sorry got words muddled in the previous post on this matter. Best of luck I think your going to need it.

   I see you have a difficult situation to deal with, how well do you know the parents of your daughter perhaps if you had a word with them and you all got together and spoke to your daughter and boyfriend at the same time, it may stop your daughter getting pregnant. Or it may split your daughter and her boyfriend up. Best of luck anyway.

   I cannot believe how many poor Mothers on here are being forced in to interviews with Job Centres when they should be at home taking care of their children.
   I attempted a return to work early this year and do you know it cost the Government twice as much to pay me to go to work as it did for them to pay me Income support to stay home and take care of my kids. I got a back to work bonus of £40 a week for a year.... I got working tax credit (much higher than my child tax credit) and I got my full maintenance from my ex-husband which the Government usually kept most of... not to mention the Government had to pay the majority of my child care costs too and I got my wages... after tax of course. Are they stupid or what????????
   The best person to take care of children is their MOTHER... its about time the Government realised this and did what was best for them.
   P.S. As a result of my going back to work my son ended up making himself ill and had to keep staying off school because he was so insecure having already lost his dad, his home, his grandfather(who passed away) at the same time. He completely lost it and ended up in counselling for a year - at even more cost to the Government, hence why I had to give my job up anyway.
