[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, disregard the obvious pot stirrers.

I have two wonderful little kids, they are easy, they are cute, loving, hilarious and I still just want to go away for a month. Oh and I have an awesome husband whose job is more flexible than mine so he does more than his share.

The pandemic has been incredibly stressful for everyone, even those only indirectly affected. It's been 18 months of ups and downs with a constant mental weight of making the right decisions about everything. With tweens and teens, I imagine it's been even harder.

I agree with PPs that you should outsource as much as possible (meals, cleaning, tutoring) and make a plan to be available and "switched on" for them at least during dinner and a planned activity every weekend. They don't need you to be the perfect parent every second of every day, they just need to know they can come to you when needed. They will know this if you can remind them regularly by setting some time aside to connect daily and weekly.

You are doing fine and your kids will be fine, OP.[/quote]

You just called your kids wonderful. You are clearly not in the same boat as the OP. Your kids will be fine. Hers may not be. [/quote]
