[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I posted this because I feel that I strive for perfection at the expense of my family sometimes.  I WOHM and have 2 young children.  I want to have the perfect clean house - so I am a witch to everyone as I run around straightening up perfectly normal messes.  I want my children to do well in school, so after I work, pick up the kids from aftercare, cook dinner, I sit down with them as they do their homework.  I want to be the perfect wife, so after I do all that, I put the kids to bed and fold laundry and at least once a week I have to find time to have sex with my husband.  Then weekends are the kids activities.  Somewhere along the line I lost "me".  The cracks are not only showing, but they are big enough that I am about to fall through.  I just want to admit to everyone that I cannot do it all!  I have been told by several people that I appear so organized and together when in truth I am a mess.[/quote]

Yup - I could have written this post exactly. Just this morning, after nursing my son, I spent the next hour preparing him for daycare, me for work, husband for work that I didn't get to play with him at all - my husband did. In fact, I rarely get to play with him because I am so busy 'working' doing chores, cooking, etc from AM to PM, WOH in between. [/quote]
