[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I'm feeling that way. Can't wait to be an empty nester. Just changed at work to a less stressful, but more interesting, job, at same salary, which has helped.[/quote]

This is my quote. 1 month after I'm just exhausted. Think I have the flu, trying to rest. Felt better and went into work for a little bit. It probably wasn't a good idea. 10 weeks until the school year ends. Youngest is going to stop doing most sports out of school when the spring season ends. Going on a lot of college tours for oldest. Have a destination wedding coming up. Got to skip wedding shower today, because I wasn't feeling well. Having a tough time, so exhausted. I do 99% of cooking and laundry, 95% of cleaning. DH and I food shop together. Have a cleaning person, but she comes quarterly and DH only allows it if I'm home. I only get WFH 2x per month. Just really struggling. Switched jobs and instead of being overwhelmed at work, I'm overwhelmed at home.:([/quote]

I think you might be depressed or have some other underlying health issue.  You sound very hopeless here.  Think about getting some help - maybe therapist, maybe trip to GYN or PCP - so you can enjoy these important years with your kids.  Also, lower the bar for yourself on the house.  People who think it's super easy to suddenly have your teenagers take over the chores have more energy than you do right now.  I would have this be a longer term goal.[/quote]
