[quote=Anonymous]I understand, OP. My son is 11 now, but I remember that feeling of total, utter exhaustion so well. It is terrible. Let me give you hope: it gets better. Truly, it does. And pretty soon - my exhaustion started to lift when my son was 2, and it got better every year after that. I have been fully myself again for years. I was in similar shoes, with a sick dad who lived a flight away. Even though my parents wanted to see my kid, I sometimes would just go myself to visit for a day. Fly up in the morning, fly home in the evening. And I took a sick day to do it. You could also take a legit vacation day, of course, but do your visit to your dad on any other day than the weekend day you treasure. Trade out the stuff you don't like as much (day with in-laws, work, whatever it is) for this trip you don't want to take. And hold onto your day of rest. Hand in there.[/quote]
