Just wanted to say a huge thank you. Sundays are super busy, so I apologize for not replying to every great comment, but I promise I’ve read and listened to all of them and having this support has been so helpful and grounding.

The advice about getting outside help is a really good idea. We can definitely push the budget to get a house cleaner. Taking the mental load of keeping the house off the table might at least remove one layer of stress.

For a bit more context on the day to day: I work from home, which means I end up doing most of the "boring" parenting stuff, the school and daycare drop offs, the discipline when it's needed, just the daily grind of keeping them on schedule. Because I handle all the routine stuff, the door is always wide open for her to just step in and be the fun mom. She doesn't even have  the hard parts at all she could just do the fun activities and build that bond. I'm just hoping that freeing up some of our time and mental energy will help[/quote]
