: It has been one of those days! Three sleepless nights in a row, never-ending housework, hubby coming home really stressed and very tired after working long hours. I do love my family dearly but I feel like I need to get away from DH and the kids even if its just for a day. Anyone feel like this? During the day I have to do a lot of house cleaning because my kids (especially the 1-1/2-year-old) make our house look like an earthquake hit. I also work (not outside the home), so this with taking care of my kids is a little tiring for me too. My husband like yours sometimes comes home stressed out, and also moody to the point where I would rather not be home. Also, we hardly have any time to ourselves because we never have a baby sitter. My parents own their own business and are work-a-holics and when they do have time to themselves they want to spend time together which is understandable. My husband's parents live far away. I don't really have anyone that I could trust to baby sit either. It has been a long time since we have been out on a date by ourselves. I was actually surprised because my husband and I decided to take a vacation for a few days at the end of the month and my parents agreed to baby sit. Hopefully, this little trip will help out a little, but like you sometimes I feel like a need a break from my family too. I also feel like all I watch now is PBS kids. I do love my children dearly; it took me a long time to have them and feel very blessed, but they do change your life. Thank you for sharing how you feel. It is nice to know that I am not alone.

Yes, I have had quite a few of those days. Not to make you feel bad, but I don't have problems with my kids waking me up at night and my hubby does help out a bit with the housework, but there are things that make me feel the way you do.
