Hiya Tonya,

I must admit I only work part time and don't have any kids so I've got it easy really.

My partner works full time but he still helps with the house work a bit. If you tell your hubby how you feel he might suprise you and be very supportive, even if he can't help more just having him appreciate how much your doing is helpful.

When it comes to social arrangements with friends and family, I dont have enough time to see everyone as much as THEY would like either.
Both my parents and my in-laws are divorced, they would all like to see us once a week or so, there is just no way I could do that with out being exhausted so I arrange to meet up with them once a month. It means I am better company when I do see them, I don't feel guilty about it, although I know some people would.

As for the kids, I would be way out of my league giving you advice there but the experts say its better for the kids to let them do as much as they can for themselves, and that can take some of the burden off your shoulders.
