[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 590751, member: 11791"] Please don't take this the wrong way - and only you can figure out the right next steps. But... husband is working 40-50 hours a week. You're on an insane school schedule with an extreme workload. And you have money troubles besides. Before you say another word... this is a loaded, highly stressful situation. Add five kids... even five neurotypical easy child kids would be in trouble. I don't know what dxes you are dealing with or the severity of the problems, but... you need help. You can't afford to burn out. But you also can't afford to take it out on the kids. And difficult child kids tend to react very strongly in stressful situations. Do you have ANY family around at all that you can call on? This would be a good case for some old-fashioned help - like, an aunt or a cousin who can come in and keep the house in order, some food made ahead, etc., and take some pressure off. Or someone who can come in and take over the kids for a few hours - step into THEIR routine, but take you out of it? [/QUOTE]
