[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need a break RIGHT NOW which is exactly why I'm on DCUM.  Home from school for like an hour and already everyone is yelling at each other.  :(

But seriously, I have been lucky enough that even though I SAH (with 2 young kids and 1 school aged) we have a sitter/nanny come for one full day a week.  I usually spend part of that time alone with one kid, and I spend part of the time getting crap done, and I often sneak in a daytime date with DH.  But sometimes I just spend the time totally alone.  I come back so much more refreshed!!

[b]You need a break.  You need a REGULAR break, not 2 weeks away.  You need something you can look forward to every single week.  Whether it's trading off with another mom, or hiring a babysitter, or having DH do serious kid duty on the weekend, you need something you can look forward to when the kids get overwhelming[/b].[/quote]

This.  Being attached at the hip to your child isn’t healthy for you OR the child.  There is no reason that a woman can’t have her own identity outside of her kids.  [/quote]
