[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have relatively flexible jobs, and we only have 2 kids and we even have a bit (though not a ton) of family help. Our life still feels unmanageable to me a lot of the time. I keep searching for a solution. It feels like our life is set up in a way that requires me to perpetually over function. I used to be able to do it and just suck it up, but I’ve hit a wall. I can’t seem to find a balance. I can’t do the things I used to do. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. We need money, but my kid has SN that require a lot of appointments and care. I don’t know what to do. I’m always underperforming at work and afraid I’ll be fired. But if my kid is in the hospital or we’re seeing a specialist it took a year to get an appointment with, I’m going. Screw work. Fire me. Do what you gotta do, I’m showing up for my kid and I’m not going to outsource hospital stays or doc appointments.[/quote]
