I'm with my kids everyday, besides working 9-5. I do not have a babysitter due to financial difficulties. I'm with them everyday. Thing is, my oldest is autistic (PDD) and my youngest is very demanding. Cleaning the house, cooking, buying groceries, is all something I take care of daily. I try my best and spend time with them but it's very hard when I only have 3 hours before bedtime to do all this. I sometimes feel like I want to shut myself off from everything. It's been almost 4 years since I've had a mini vacation without any worry about who's caring for my children. At this point, I feel it's affecting my health. Is this how normal family life is?
My mom is unable to wtach them. She works 6 days a week and they disrespect my rules about what my chidlren should eat due to my oldest daughter's condition.
Yesterday, I felt like I was going to bust if I didn't get a day to myself.
