I dont know how it works over there but could you put your children, maybe the older ones in childcare? And then have the nanny look after them after the childcare hours?
Or are there any fun classes that you can send them to while you steal a few hours for yourself?
Is it possible to cut down on your hours at work?
One of my regrets is that I didnt cut down the hours at my work because work was consuming me and my life and what was left of it and me weren't the best parts.
You can call me Dory/ Grl.

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
