I've been taking care of sick kids for the past 6 weeks and I've reached the end of my rope. Yesterday, amid birthday family stuff for Ryan, I was taking Noah to the doctor and my husband for x-rays while battling an ear infection of my own. This is seemingly ongoing and has been for quite some time. This morning Ryan woke up and threw up all over the living room, couch and bathroom. I'm so frustrated I could scream. To top it off, when I bring it to my husband, he just tells me he's dealing with his own stuff right now (hence the x-rays). I try to tell him that I know he's dealing with his own stuff but while he's dealing, I'm still doing. The kids still need clothes, the dishes still need to get done and dinner somehow still ends up in front of everybody. I'm standing on one leg and it's getting wobbly.
How can I be sensitive to him while tactfully asking him to get off his duff and help me out a little here?

YOu poor thing:( I am so sorry:( Sometimes it seems I have to "fall down" before Steve realizes I have really reached the end of my rope!
Oh Ami! U poor thing. hang in there. I wish I had great advice to give. I don't. I've been there before and it only got better when everyone's health got better. Try to take a deep breath and deal with it all one thing at a time.
