[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I also feel like I am constantly on the go like a freaking hamster on a wheel. There are many times that I want to just scream, make it stop!! I feel stretched too thin. I don't know what the answer is.[/quote]

Not enough $$$$ beyond a housecleaning e/o week. Like the article mentioned, what I really need help with are the daily chores: grocery shopping, washing dishes (even loading/unloading a dishwasher takes 10 minutes - which after a long, exhausting day at work I am loath to do), laundry, homework, packing lunches, sorting through the mail, feed and walk the dog, tidying up clutter, etc. Even stupid time wasting errands. I keep getting email notices about my kid's late book. The library near us closes at 6 and I always forget by the time the weekend rolls around. Sorry I don't have time to go to the freaking library on top of everything else! I am being pulled in so many different directions in the 2-3 hours after work and before bedtime.

Forget kids' activities. This is real life. It's hard and it sucks a lot of the time. Yet I am soooo lucky to be working according to the smug moms in here.[/quote]

Get rid of the dog. That is one hassle you don't need on top of everything else. [/quote]

How about getting rid of a kid?  Wouldn't that take away more hassle [/quote]

LOL, perhaps this page should be required reading for all those "should I have a third" threads.[/quote]
