I have two great kids (21mo and 4.5 yrs), a wonderful husband, and I am a full time student.
I want both more time with my kids AND less time with my kids.
I think I am just stressed from my workload.
Do other parents feel this way or is it just me?

I completely get what you mean. There are times when all I wanna do is leave work and run home to my kids, and at the same time there are times when I wish that I could go to work just to get away from them. I guess it's just the way it is. I know a lot of moms that feel this way, so I guess we're not alone at all in feeling this way. Try to keep the two parts of your life seperate, and just enjoy the time you DO get with them. Pretty soon,they won't want anything to do with us as moms! Teenage years come up faster than you can imagine and that changes everything!!! Don't worry, you're not alone, and you aren't crazy either!

This is pretty funny actually. You are normal. I remember when my kids were 2 and 4. I loved them dearly but it sure was good to get away from them sometimes. You need to take a little time for yourself. You are one busy woman with going to school and being a wife and mother. Don't forget some time for that wonderful husband, too. Remember next year they will be almost 6 and 4. And one of these days, they will want to just play with their friends and not you! Funny. You should go take a bubble bath and relax. You are an honest mother to admit this......some mothers wouldn't. Good luck.

this is very normal.I have 3 kids a wife and a full time job.I want to spend time with all of them,but I need my alone time too.Bed time is your friend.Set a bed time for your kids and stick to it.The hours between your kids bed time and yours are the unwinding time.Put your feet up relax,spend time with your hubby or just with yourself.AND DON'T FEEL GUILTY...good luck
