Sounds like you need a vacation : )

• giantg2 5y ago
  I have a toddler - vacations don't really exist at this stage of life. Plus the past two years have seen me using most of that time for family medical issues. This year I'll be using about 1/4 of my time off for my wife to go on vacations.

    My travel addicted friends went twice to vacations with 6 and 12 months old no problem.

    Your story is similar to mine. Expectations at work are unrealistic, bordering on complete fiction. We have 3 young children and my wife is still on disability and recovering from childbirth 6 months ago. A vacation would be great but it isn't happening anytime soon. Vacations at this point in my life just means I work even harder than I do for my day job. Vacations are when the daycare is closed, which is actually more often than I can believe (especially contrasted against the exorbitant price of child care...). It sounds bad but it isn't that bad, I've definitely had worse periods in my life and that was before marriage with children. I wouldn't do anything differently, except maybe finding a different job before kid number 3 came along...
