I've been doing it for a year and i'm burn't ....3 kids working 50-60 hrs a week high stress job. Husband is always away i just can't do it all anymore. Three kids 18, 16, 11 who has adhd and is socially diabled from going through cancer 3 years ago...and needs lots of support) Trying to keep the teens in line. I just gave my notice at my job....some people do not know how I've done it all this long I feel like I have failed and possibly made a mistake....what do you think? Has anyone done the same? Should I be a stay at home mom look after the kids the house and be there for my husband or still try to do it all and work full time!

Wow Diana don't beat yourself up. it is so hard to keep the family together anytime but with all the extra stress you have. Just got to ask Did you enjoy working? as sometimes it can be something just for you. You are no longer the wife or the Mum etc YOU have definately not failed. to fail is to do nothing at all. I have found being the Mum of 3 teenages. We have to be happy in what we are doing or we can't look after them. so just take a breath, don't stress and look at what makes you happy.
