[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else feel this way? Not looking for answers, just solidarity.  I have a 1 and a 5 year old and it’s just unrelenting. We don’t have any family to help and when grandparents come to visit they can’t handle even one kid solo for much more than an hour.[b] We have a nanny[/b] during the week but she can barely handle both kids. We have had the same issue with babysitters. Facing down the messy house, laundry, meal planning, shopping, home maintenance, yard work, never ending house projects and piles of crap and art and kids toys and then realizing we get to launch into the work week again come Monday just makes me feel like I’m stuck in this never ending Ground Hog day.

np You have a nanny so you are really not used to taking care of your kids ( not a critism so of course weekends feel overwhelming.  My suggestion is lower your standards.  If you house is messy, than it is messy.  Enjoy your kids while they are little. It will go by in a flash and your house can wait as well as all the chores!  Make sure you get your hot coffee/shower and then pick one fun thing to do with kids. If you get one thing off your list..great but, try not to worry.  [/quote]
