[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 644318, member: 18412"] PG, I totally GET IT!! "Me" time is basically non-existent right now. Funny, our difficult child always said all she did was work and take care of her baby. Ironically, she worked 25-30 hours/week and her days off were during the week and GS went to daycare full time. husband and I really do work full time (and then some) and had him every Sat and Sun while difficult child was at work. We never had a day off. I thought I was tired then... Now we have this extremely active, adorable 3 yr old little boy full time. Now I really know tired! We do make sure to carve out time for us now and then, though. I'm lucky enough to have a decent relationship with his other grandparents and they live nearby so they usually take him 1 day every couple weeks for the day. And we decided to have a cleaning service come every other week so I don't have to spend the time cleaning on the weekends. It's worth the cost! It is so important to have that little bit of time in order to keep your sanity! I'm so happy your difficult child is where she is and doing the right thing. That's terrific the case worker is in contact. All I have to go on is what our difficult child tells us. And since the trust factor with me is zero, I don't believe anything. husband seems to think she's on the right track, though. Unfortunately, I'm usually right. There was an episode of Modern Family where Phil and the kids were teasing Clare for always being right or having to be right. She said "I don't always [I]want [/I]to be right, I just live with the [I]wrong [/I]people." husband now calls me Clare :-) Hugs!! [/QUOTE]
