[quote=Anonymous]OP I'm sorry.  You sound like you're just totally burned out right now.

1. Show your husband your post.  Tell him to treat it seriously.  You need help and you need it now.

2. Find a therapist.  They can be hard to find these days but it sounds like you have a good job, and the EAP at your work may be able to help.

3. Give yourself a short-term break by doing the following, or having your husband do it for you.

- Start outsourcing your laundry immediately.  There are multiple services in the area you can use.
- Commit to ordering in meals for the next week, and eat on paper plates etc.
- The end of year stuff... that I think you can mostly just drop.

The longer-term solution for this is as follows.

- You need to figure out how to do less
- Your husband needs to figure out how to do more
- You and your husband need to parent your kids into functional humans that contribute.

That last part is the hardest part of all of this.  But figure out what motivates them, and use it to get them to contribute.

Hang in there OP.  [/quote]
