[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound depressed, which makes any task exhausting for you.  I hope you can get some help so your kids can have two active parents.  My husband and I have 14 year old b/g twins.  It would be too burdensome for one of us to be the default parent.  We both are working professionals but we know we have to be available for our kids.  DH does most of the activities with our son such as scouting, get together with friends, and sports.  I do the activities with my daughter.  And, of course, we do family activities.  If you don't get help now, it will affect your marriage later and the perception your children will have of you when they are teenagers.  They need the guidance and involvement of both parents.  There are times when I just want to zone out.  I carve out free time for myself when the kids or DH aren't around.  I try to work from home as often as I can, especially when the kids are out of school.  They can be at home by themselves but I think they still enjoy a parent being home with them.  OP, your children need you so you owe it to them to get the support you need to be there for them.  You don't want them to resent you later.[/quote]
