[quote=Anonymous]I have been feeling so trapped lately...I work part-time and have 2 teens. One is a senior and we have been doing all the college preparation stuff this year including applications, essays, interviews, etc. The other is a middle-school student with ADD. This year my husband and I have kind of split our duties-I am helping the college bound teen, my husband has been working with the middle-schooler on homework, activities, etc. We are making forward progress, but I feel so exhausted and aggravated. Husband and teen bicker constantly, my senior fluctuates between clinginess, gratitude, and rebellion. Just the sound of my husbands' and middle schoolers' voices make me feel like I am going to jump out of my skin.
Intellectually I know that this situation is time limited and that I am very lucky to even be the parent of these kids....but I feel agitated and frustrated with all of them!!!!!  My house is cluttered, one kid was home sick from school last week, one kid has a BF that I have concerns about, and the list goes on......

It is all too much!!!!!!
I am in counseling to deal with some anxiety issues, but right now I just feel so tense and irritated!
Thanks for letting me vent, and if you have a few kind words to throw my way, it would be appreciated![/quote]
