[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully, some other parents can commiserate. I was back to the office today after a long weekend and am just exhausted by the chaos. DH and I are both hybrid and more days than not, we all have to get out of the house and do an approximately 45 min commute after getting the kids to school. We have a 7 and 4-year-old and a big dog. It feels like the house, kids, and work juggle is just impossible sometimes and we actually both have a ton of flexibility compared to what it could be. We have no family help though, and it feels like there is always something more I could/should be doing. My house is trashed, the dog wants a walk, my older child still wants to be hanging out with me, and I have work stuff I need to do before tomorrow. Is this just how it is?[/quote] If job and money is good, be more organized and hire help. If job is stressful and low pay, take few years off to focus on making life work better for yourself, partner AND kids. As far as dog goes, if you can't afford time, money and energy, rehome it to a family who got their act together. [/quote]
