I am a full time student, a wife, a mommy, a maid(LOL). And I never find a moment that belongs to just me. I love DOING all that I do, I just need to find a way to balance it all out so I dont neglect anything.. Is there anyone with a similar situation that can help me? SERIOUS answers only, PLEASE....I am about to pull my hair out.

I am not doing ALL that you do but I definitely know that you NEED time for yourself...Taking time out just once a week to refresh and rewind is crucial. The obvious answer (to me, anyway) is to get some exercise...and if you need a fresher experience and a way to boost your awareness and confidence, try yoga. Just don't beat yourself up for not getting to EVERYTHING. It is important to take care of yourself FIRST so you can take care of others.

I wish I could give you an answer to that. It really is just something that you do. Do your best, thats all anyone can ask of you. If it gets to be to much hire a housekeeper to come by once a week or drop down from a full time student to a part time student. Do whatever you have to do to make it work. Good luck!

First of all, amazing that you do everything that you do. When I was young, my Mom stayed home with my sister and me. It was hard work, even without being a full-time student like you. Once or twice a week, my Dad stayed home with us and my Mom would go out with friends...to movies, to eat, whatever. That way, no money spent on a sitter and you get the you-room that you need. Also, it helps the man in your life realize how important you are to making everything work. Best of luck.

I am also a student, single mother, maid (not LOL), and I have a full time job. Somehow everything just falls together perfectly but I have to make sure to make time for ME. call a babysitter go out to eat, drink a beer hang out with friends, everything else must wait. It has to, no choice. If my mental health is out of wack nothing works right. I cant study I cant work efficiently i cant be kind and patient with my daughter if I am too stressed out and I need me time.

yeah me too!! uni student, mum,chief cook and bottle washer.
the way i juggle everything is: plan menu for whole week and make it easy and quick. take away night is on my late finish when i get home at six. cos i'm not starting cooking
i get one day off uni a week which is my time. to chiil/read / write assignments. have designated jobs to the other half, the washing up and the washing. whinges and his privlieges are taken away (lol). saturday morning is mega house blitz with help from his nibs. sunday is chill time. i have quality time with my daughter when we get in from school. i get her to help cook or she'll sit on the side and we'll chat about her day and cuddley time is an hour before bed when its story time etc. when i'm off for long holidays i try and spend as much time with the other half and daughter as i can doing fun things like picinics and stuff

Many people are in your situation so you're not alone....hire a sitter for a weekend and treat yourself to a couple of days away...don't forget about you in all this.
