(((Ruby))) You are right on! Stick to the limits you set, though. I, too, am living in the same he!! with a know it all daughter.. All though, to be fair- she has really been great to me- lots of hugs and kisses. She knows about the drinking- I have been honest since the beginning- could she actually be showing *gulp* compassion *gulp* and emotion for someone other than *gulp*gulp* herself!!!!!!! Nah- she's probably setting me up for something!!

((((((((((((((Beezy))))))))))))))))))) I am so sorry. How are you doing today?
Ok mamas ... I need a bit of help here. School startedthis last week, and the adjustment isn't as I planned. School is, of course, hard. Harder because 1. I have not done this in a long time and 2. because it's all stuff I have little to no previous knowldege on. (And I had to miss last night because some bug came and kicked me on my a$$ but good).
This first week, all those promises Dh made to help have fallen though. He made a big dinner my first night. That's it. Yesterday he watched the kids while I slept, but I was so sick there was not much choice. Outside of that ... he's done nothing. I have done the kitchen, the picking up, the cleaning, my children have not been washed since monday, my cloths have not been put away, he's not following through on switching the baby from formula to milk to that is taking longer ... pretty much I am sitting in a house in SHAMBLES.
I get up, do homeschool (which we are now once again behind on), pick up as I can, do lunch, breakfast, and dinner most nights, in charge of the laundry, the kids getting clean and stuff done, the cats and their litter box, outside play for the kids (which they are lacking in because of) PLUS 4.5 hours of school and just as many hours of homework each night. I go to sleep late and wake up early ... trying to put my daughter back in school but the school is being non-supportive. Argh.
Dh's business is rapidly picking up, and he is working hard. But so am I. I am thinking of a chore list or something ... I know we are both tired, but I also KNOW I can not do all of it any more. I just can't.
What do I do? Help!

Brandi....I don't know if your are going to like this but.... here what I finally realized. I went through 5 years of college from age 35 - 40 with 2 small kids an a part time job... DH was just starting his business... I used to stress to get it all done it never was so I would stress more and then get less done... I finally learned to prioritize and if some things didn't get done then so be it.... eventually DH would get tired of looking at the dishes or sleeping on dirty sheets and he would do it.... and to this day if the cloths don't get put away.... oh well eventually you are going to wear them anyway.. Dinner .... spaghetti.. soup and sanwhiches... paper plates.... and the carpet will learn to like being vacuumed a bit less.... In between semesters get it all caught up... so it can start all over.....
My mother obsessed over a clean house.... she died at 45.... my aunt had the other outlook... the dishes will be there tomorrow you might not ... go out and play
Don't stress it, try to accept that something don't matter... and have to be done over and over agian... and other things like school will be finished when they are done....

No one does their homework anymore.... out of 39 students I've had so far today only 4 have had their homework for the week.... How are you going to learn Chemistry if you don't do your homework!!!
