L.,
You need some 'ME' time, or time to do errands without the kids. My DH has no problem staying home and watching the kids. He even started taking one of the kids ( I have 3) seperatley on Sundays for time with Dad.
I have to laugh sometimes when my DH will say "I can't take all 3 kids with me",when he runs errands. Why not?
Even with all he does, I still feel as if I am the main caretaker for the kids. I work f/t also, so it gets hard sometimes when I have to get home from work, and cook, do homework, clean etc.Some stuff in my house just does not get done, and I try not to stress about it.
Men can be like children, you have to constantly ask them for help, and they always want you to recognize what they did and thank them.
Do not feel guilty about going out without the kids. In order to be a good mom for them you HAVE to have time for yourself.
Take care,
L.
