@Tired Mom

You need to ask your husband about helping out more. Tell him all the things to do and how you fustrated you feel at times. Maybe start off by asking him to contribute to one thing around the house (washing dishes) and one thing with the children (bed time).

Crystal,

I admire your hard work. As a mother, wife, teacher and Grad student, I know how hard it is to balance everything. It’s crazy but worth it in the end. Keep up the good work.

It seems so easy as I have read your article:however, my situation is a little different. I am married with 4 children, I work full time, and go to school. My husband does not help out at all. I get over whelmed every time I began to start a schedule, everything must get done. Childrens’ homework, mines. House cleaning, cooking, laundry. I feel like at times I will have a break down. I have neglected my self completly, and have become overweight. I wipe the tears from my face and keep moving. Any suggestions?
