[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I won't address other problems, but when he gives you his schedule for the upcoming month, identify a 2-3 hour slot of time each week that you will be going out to get refreshed. Write it on the calendar, "Mary out 5-8" Then go out once per week for a sanity break. Leave your house.

I was in a different situation as a SAHM. My husband was gone all day for work. Then I'd serve dinner, clean up, get kids ready for bed, etc. Weekends were spent as a family. I needed a mental break from the kids. So I started Thursday nights as my night out alone. Sometimes I went to the library and just sat there and read a book for two hours straight. Or I went shopping or to a coffee shop, etc. Just knowing I was getting a scheduled break each week made such a difference to me.

So add that into your calendar each and every week for the month. And leave the house and kids and hubby and cleaning behind.[/quote]

I will try this. Thank you.

Can I ask if you ever felt guilty for leaving during the few windows that you had available for your children to be with both parents?[/quote]
