I am a stay-at-home-mom with 2 kids, 2 and 5 months, and my husband works anywhere from 10 to 16 hours days, 7 days a week- the overtime is mandatory. The last time he had a weekend off, he had the flu. He also has an hour commute each way, so we rarely see each other. He doesn't have a designated lunch time, which is, at most 30 minutes- shorter if needed be. (He's in construction.) Lately, I feel I'm at my wits end. I am raising 2 kids by myself, taking care of the house, and am responsible for fixing (or having it fixed) things that break. I am breastfeeding my daughter, and she still wakes up throughout the night so I am tired much of the day. I have also gained a lot of weight since her birth and have constant back pains. My 2 year-old son is being potty-trained, but it's becoming diffucult because he has encopresis (severe constipation) and is on prescriptiion laxatives. Sometimes he refuses to go #2 unless he's wearing a diaper (like during his nap or at night.).......
