I know I'm not alone, but....  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I'M SO OVERWHELMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like my head is about ready to explode. I love my life, I love my children, and I love what I do. But sometimes I just get so overwhelmed, and then I get depressed. I do daycare in my home, and right now I only have 5 daycare kids, and then my 3. They really are very good kids, but I feel like all I do is cook, clean, change diapers, organize and then repeat. I know that I have super high standards (cleaning/organizing-wise) for myself, and letting that go is not an option. I get grumpy/moody when my house isn't clean.

And it's not like I'm a super clean freak either, it just has to be orderly. But between taking care of kids all day, and making meals, helping Rachel with homework, remembering all I have to do for her school, planning my daycare activities, meals, and just making sure everyday things are done, I feel like I'm going insane!: I love my husband to pieces, he is an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT father, but sometimes he just doesn't "get it", ya know? He helps somewhat, and I know that he would do more if I asked, but I don't. I just feel like he works hard all day too.

Ack, anyway, thanks for letting me vent, and I know that I'm not alone here.

Me as well. Except, I only have one and I feel similar feelings to those in your post.
I also do not like to ask. I have on occasion and it is helpful for a day or so then it is forgotten again. To repeat the request would then be 'nagging' ...
