[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 161610, member: 3647"] First of all, you totally need and deserve me time. You can only take care of your kids if you are as good as you can be. If you do not take time to relax, refresh, and replenish, you are not going to be on top of your game (and we all need to be on top of our game with our difficult children). As far as getting hubby to spend more time with them, I suppose that during the divorce proceedings you could request that he take them more often, but unless her agrees to it, the judge is not likely to enforce it. And if he does, hubby could be resentful and take it out on the kids. It's a fine line and a balancing act. Is there a pre-K program he could join? Something that caters to difficult children? That might be a win-win situation, if the boy is getting help he needs and you are getting the rest that YOU need. [/QUOTE]
