[quote=AnnaTjacks]What type of boundaries are you trying to enforce? I know with my kids I had to set boundaries in getting them to help take care of their home. I was a young mother trying to do everything and exhausted. My husband looked at me one day and asked, "Why are you doing all the housework when the kids are just playing and having fun?" So a lightbulb came on in my  head. I started setting up lists for them to do every day. When they were out of school during the summer they did more chores to do. Life became very easy for me. Yes, kids will moan and groan at doing various tasks but my motto is be sad until you get glad. You still have to do the work. There is only one you. Take time out for yourself and whatever bothers you be willing to discuss it. You seem to be a very sweet and kind person that just want to make everyone happy. But you need to be happy too! So that means being very open and deal with things where boundaries need to be set. I found this interesting article that may help. It talks about setting boundaries for kids.
