[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. I have totally been here. As my kids get older, parenting is getting much more enjoyable. Honestly. I actually look forward to weekends now. I used to dread them. Work was like a vacation everyday, and my job is no vacation... A big help is a weekly date night. We do this after our kids have gone to bed, so there is no guilt there. Just two hours where a high-school girl comes and does homework or watches TV at our house while we go out to a late dinner. Costs us $20 plus the cost of dinner, worth every penny. Having the kids already be in bed makes it super easy. Antidepressants also helped me a ton. Worth talking to your doctor about. Might sound extreme, I know, but your post sound very much like I felt prior to meds (and when my kids were younger). Hang in there. It gets easier. Truly. I never thought it would, but it does.
