[quote=Anonymous]I have six children, two of which are still young. I would say the teenagers are more stressful TBH. I’m a SAHM and do 99%. My husband is helpful if he’s home but works a lot in a high stress environment.

I think a lot of unhappiness can be resolved with changing your mindset. For me a pivotal moment was one of my kids was a very difficult pregnancy and we thought we would lose that child. She did survive and thrive and, while it was horribly stressful, I’m thankful for the perspective it gave me.  Don’t sweat the small stuff. Get off DCUM if it’s making you feel negative and see what’s going on in the rest of the world and how well you have it. Stop comparing yourself to other because I guarantee it’s not as good as they make it look.

I’ve also realized how important a good ground of girlfriends are that I can be 100% honest with. My husband is great but he’s not great with emotional stuff.

Figure out what you need for self care and take it with no guilt. For me it’s exercise and a bath. When my oldest were young I felt so guilty doing these things and I don’t know why. My husband never felt guilty taking time to himself. Now I don’t either.

Your question was fairly open so I’m not sure if you are looking for more practical tips or the keys to happiness. [/quote]
