I get that its mentally more draining when theyre older. Then you have to worry about them getting in trouble at school, SM, skimpy clothes theyre trying to hide, boys theyre talking to, making sure they dont knock someone up, etc. Its always going to be hard. But I hate when someone says Im struggling with this and it turns into Well just wait. Right now its the physical exhaustion thats getting to me.

I dont feel like Im doing it all. I feel stretched thin, worn out and some days I just want to curl in a ball and cry at how exhausted I am but there is no break or help. I feel like Im drowning.

Do you have any relatives coming in to help?

I wouldnt say that. Staying at home is a job on its own. I was home for the first 5 months and shit was freaking hard. SAHPs often are with partners who expect them to do literally everything 24/7. At least when Im working Im sitting on my butt at a chair. I consider it a break lol

I think there partners need to lower expectations then. That's not a realistic expectation for them to do "Literally Everything" 24/7.

At that point, they want a butler, not a significant other or spouse.
