[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. 
The classes are for the kids. Both are in swimming which is important to us (lessons, not competitions) and those are 2 nights a week each for the next 4 weeks. 
Our daughter was in a gymnastics class one night a week but that will end next week. 
[b]My DH does take the kids to the classes which i enjoy but the hour and half they are gone is barely enough time to do a load of laundry and vacume. [/b]

UGH. I just feel like all day I am in charge of so much and it is making it difficult to be a good wife mother (in my mind) at home too. 
I want to keep working but just don't want the bother anymore of management I think. It was fine when i was younger with no kids but now, I just want to work and go home. 
This week has been a rough one at work with a lot of side issues I have had to deal with.

Thanks for letting me vent. [/quote]

PP who also had PPD here: Sometimes, just use that hour and a half to chill the heck out. Seriously. Ask DH to cover dishes when he gets back.

My life also drastically improved when we hired every other week cleaners.  We have to pick up the night before, but it's great because it gives a time to do it, then they do the grunt work. Every other Thursday I come home and just mentally melt into a puddle of relaxation. It's so great.  [/quote]
