[b]When I get home- I am completely in family mode. I do dinner, baths, homework, bedtime, and am completely "present" with my kids.

- If you have four younger children and you leave the office at 6:00 p.m. no ifs or buts, just how do you really have time to make the dinner during the week for family??  Or is it that you have a Nanny or DH who prepares the dinner and you put it on the table, but even then you are all not eating till close to 7:00 p.m .

- What exactly does DH do during the week to help you out as "super achiever" - laundry, nightly dishes, daily lunches, family laundry etc.?

- Something just seems out-of-wack with this scenario in that young children, even with a great Nannie, do not wait till close to 7:00 p.m. to start dinner, homework, baths?

OP - It might help you if you indicated with one 15 month old child, just how much your DH helps out or if you have shared with him your angst and had a conversation about how things at present might be shared?  The idea to get a physical checkup and mental health screen is right on?  Then to look at your profession and see what options might be there for reducing work load for a while.[/quote]
