[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 45 with an 8 year old. I am already searching for boarding schools for her middle school to high school years. I am absolutely exhausted. I am worried that I won't be able to keep up with her in the future. I fall asleep before she does every night. I must take naps everyday from 2-3pm. After cleaning, washing, caring for myself and other life events, I have nothing left. I often forget things and put things in the wrong places. I am mentally drained. I am also a single parent. My kid cannot participate in any after school activities unless the hours are 3pm-5pm. I will not enroll her in any evening activities. We are in the bed each night by 9pm. We start winding down at 8pm. [/quote] 8 year olds are some of the easiest kids around unless they have an illness or disability. The only thing that would change if your child went away is that you could sleep all day. There is no way an 8 year old is causing that kind of exhaustion. [/quote]
