does it get any easier
Well, here it is another Monday morning back to work. Another long acttion packed weekend from picking up sd 30min away on Friday running the BS's on Sat, working on Sunday and coming home to an angry family that is trying to clean house so I jump in to try and help. The BF was upset because we didn't get any down time all weekend. I feel like I just can't please him and the kids I love them all but my life never seems to stop. Am I asking to much to just have some me time or even some adult time with my BF????? Does it ever get easier? Do things ever slow down? I feel like I am treading water and not getting any where I am tired and cranky pretty much all of the time. I feel like the worst Mom in the world for wanting alone time without my kids. They go to BF every other weekend but are still involved in sports so I am still with them at games on there Dads weekend if I don't go the the event then I feel bad for not being there to support them. Life has to get easier,! right???

I used to feel guilty about
I used to feel guilty about not giving time to my kids so I would cut my own adult timeand time with SO. That fails horribly! The kids understand when you tell them "I need to be left alone for 1hr, if you need something ask _____ until I get back" or tonight is "date night for me and daddy" They will protest, pick giggle and do a whole bunch of other things that make you feel 'weird' but they will come to understand that you are a person with needs and respect you more. They will also learn that relationships are important and need to get some time and attention too. That will hopefully show them to place importance on their SO when they are older. Hell maybe even showing them that will prevent a lot of the issues of their SO feeling unimportant? I hope so!
Good luck! Enjoy being a human and keep in mind that kids need to know that parents are more than just parents, and respect that
