I just need to vent for a bit, I know I'm being a baby. I think I've reached a point though if I don't get some of this out its going to fester inside of me. I'm so tired of being tired. I wish DH's work would pick up so I don't have to work so much. I'm tired of all the judgemental comments so let me just get this out of the way. On one hand, yes I feel like a bad mom because it seems like I'm at work more than I am home. Yes I feel like I'm missing out on my childrens lives. No I don't work so much to avoid my children or my husband.
I work right now to provide for my family. I work so much because I have no other choice. I try to be to as much as I'm able to with my with my kids, I would love to be able to be there more. I am faced with the difficult task of balancing work and family, the same as many other woman are. But my children know that I love them and that I would do anything for them. They know that they can come to me with any problem and I will do whatever I am able to do to help them. I may not a perfect mom, but I do my best. My children are my priority. Everything I do is for is for them. I'm not asking for anyone to agree with me but don't judge me until you have walked a mile in my shoes and don't make comments about it unless you have something productive to add. Really I'm just done with all of it.
And I'm sorry I can't come to all the family activities....I'm not avoiding anyone, but to be honest if I have to choose between that and sleep, I'm gonna sleep. I don't get enough. Its nothing personal, please don't take it that way. I don't answer phone calls during the day, its because I'm sleeping. Think of how you would feel if I called you in the middle of the night....most likely you wouldn't answer either.
That's all... sorry if I offend anyone, its not my intent.

I honestly don't know how you do what you do. I'm sorry you are tired and having to deal with drama too. I was so happy to see you last week. I hope things change for you soon and your kids will always appreciate everything you sacrifice for them.
