[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have mom friends, neighbors, or just acquaintances you feel comfortable with ask for help.

A woman I sort of know mentioned in passing that her mom was ill and she had been traveling 6hrs drive away in short notice every 2-3 weeks. Her son is in an activity with mine. I reached out to her and her spouse to say “We will drive your child to/from activity any time. He can stay for dinner after the activity if you aren’t home. You do not need to reciprocate. We leave at x time on Tuesdays, just text me 15 min before we leave so I can swing by and get him.”

That is a lot of things at once, but many people go through challenging times occasionally. I try to step in and help when I can because some day I may be the one who needs help. [/quote]

aw pp that is so nice of you. 
yes dh is helping and will be ok i think when i'm gone. I do have moms who could take the kids too yes. 
I just find i'm so exhausted and burned out and anxious all the time that it's hard to be a good parent. I get so stressed that my eye twitches and i feel like i need to go to sleep. 
the debt is related to a tax autopay screwup - v stressful. but if i can keep my sh*t together long enough to deal with new job + old job (+ parent stuff) then i will make it up in new comp. [/quote]
