[quote=Anonymous]Do you feel very worn down? It sounds like you do a lot and getting worn down by work and family stuff can make anyone unhappy after a while. I don't believe that women can necessarily "have it all" without something suffering at some point-- in this case, your own happiness and ability to smile. Can you just say to your husband, "DH, I'm at my wit's end here and I really need a break?" Can you take a weekend/week long trip and leave the kids with their grandparents if they're available? If your and DH's parents don't see your kids every weekend, they might welcome the opportunity. Or if you can't just bring the kids along on a trip to the beach in Florida or somewhere else warm. What about getting a LivingSocial coupon for a housekeeper for a day? They have good deals on the site sometimes. If your husband balks, say we need it, make it an early anniversary present or something. Ask him to pick up a tray or two of food from a takeout place like Carmines or get a pizza with wine so you don't have to plan dinner. Tell him something like this would make you really, really happy. And you want to go to bed early afterward. And if the one year old baby cries, your DH has to deal with them for the night because mommy needs to sleep for once. [/quote]
