[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAHM of 3.5 and 1.5 year-old boys. My husband works extremely long hours so during the week is often just the boys and I from wake up to bedtime.  And the [b]stress of this responsibility [/b]is really beginning to really wear on me. Going back to work isn’t an option right now. Please tell me what helped you overcome this horrible anxiety.

Are your kids special needs? You keep them alive, do some chores, and are accountable to no one. What is stress, is your DH a ‘dinner and martinis’ at door and wants hgtv house?

I would minimize stuff ( less to clean), makes meals simple, and take liberal walks and naps. [/quote]

OP here no my kids are just extremely high energy and the littlest is the reason for every child safety device known to man. 3.5 year old is in school only twice a week for a half day but will go 4 half days next year. For now I’m just exhausted. DH is pretty understanding. I’m a terrible cook and my house is almost always a disaster so no stepford wife here. I really don’t know why I’m failing so much at this, especially when it’s a breeze for my friends.  Thank you for the recs. [/quote]
