[quote=Anonymous]This is the muscle through it time. Just know it will get better. I used to SAHM then work all weekend, service industry. My partner travels for work on multi week/multi weekend trips. Once kids were bigger I switched to weekdays and some weekend hours. It’s a grind. He’s still away for weeks at a time. You just kind of have to figure out what’s important with the chores. It’s ok to pare down. I do get resentful sometimes when I’m exhausted, but it passes. Building a network of sitters and families you can trade childcare with is pretty critical. Also building in some kid free time that isn’t household related is as well. I’ve done a drop off sitter and gone home to take a bath/nap/Netflix/read. It helps. [/quote]
