[quote=Anonymous]I have a suggestion that may not be popular. In addition to the mental health stuff above, can you look into getting a regular sitter who the kids love? Someone older who could stay in their lives for a good 5-10 years, like a surrogate grandmother or nanny. If you really felt for example that you couldn’t do laundry or cooking you might outsource. Maybe finding someone else to give a little extra love and attention to your kids could help their development. Create a village with friends and family. Saying this because I have many friends who weren’t super close to their moms, who did enjoy work, but who compensated some with hired help, family friends, and their own friends. It is possible for them to get part of what they need from others. That doesn’t absolve you from working through your own emotional blocks and issues. But I would do it in tandem, because why not? Your stuff could take some time and in the meantime your kids still need things.[/quote]
