Those of you that are with your children full time how do you stay sane mentally? I know the answer is to suck it up but it’s really hard never getting any time to myself ever, my children are hard work so it’s difficult not having weekends to myself to look forward to, I dream of regular weekends to myself (I realise that sounds horrible and selfish) How do others cope?
