[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 367822, member: 3907"] My turn, my turn! I am so tired of being the one "keeping the lights on". I work so desperately hard at work, day after day. I support myself, husband, Little easy child and the Tot Monsters. Pay for difficult child's Residential Treatment Center (RTC). AND in-home help for the Tot Monster twins. AND most of the decision-making about household stuff still falls to me. husband is still out of work, and has been mostly so for the last 5 years. But when someone needs to get up with the children, it's me. When Little easy child and the Tots are cutting capers on the weekend at 5:30 am? I'm up with them and husband is "sleeping in". I haven't had a vacation since before I got pregnant with Little easy child, and he's going to be nine this year. NINE years without a vacation! I couldn't even take time off to recover from major surgery. I just want to stop. For even an hour or two. Maybe even a whole day where I'm not responsible for anything or anyone else. [/QUOTE]
