[quote=Anonymous]It looks like a different job. You need a regular, every-single-weekend babysitter. Saturdays 9-12 or 1-4 or whatever. They take the kids out of the house. OUT! First hour you lie down. Second hour you get rid of things. Choose a category and purge objects from your home. You are stressed because you have too many objects. Third hour you do whatever chores feel most pressing. You may feel better if you make a weekly routine schedule of chores and tasks. Then you won't feel like you're trying to do everything at once. Stop trying to keep your kids' lives the same as before you were single. It's ok for them to have changes. It's ok for them to feel the effects of the divorce or whatever it was that made you single. If you try to prevent their lives from changing you will only drive yourself crazy.[/quote]
