Burn out!

[Mom2_2Boys]

I'm so burnt out lately. I'm so sick of trying to be the perfect mom, wife, employee, housekeeper and whatever else you want to throw in there. I'm totally exhausted all the time. I feel like if I could be a stay at home mom my life would be so much easier. Not that its an easy job. My husband works 65 hours a week. I work 35-40 plus do all the housework, pay all the bills, run the kids to all their functions, (this week alone we had 6 baseball games, a practice, and cubscouts), do all the grocery shopping, and help the kids with their homework. I'm so drained. I love my husband, but I feel like were more like roomates than a married couple. I feel so unappreciated. : (

I'm sorry you feel that way.  I've been on both sides (sahm & working mom).  They are both stresfull, just in different ways.  I'm afraid moms just don't get the respect and rest they deserve sometimes.  Hang in there!  Maybe tell your hubby this.  Men sometimes just don't even think of these things until you actually tell them.
