I just want a moment to myself when I don't have to make sure someone isn't dying

I wake up early so I can give my wife some extra sleep in the morning. I feed the pets, make breakfasts, prepare lunches, and by then I need to get myself ready and go to work. I take care of other people's kids for 9 hours then come home and deal with my own - dinner, entertainment, diapers, homework, whatever.I get maybe an hour or two to myself after everyone else goes to bed and some days it drives me crazy. I'll be exhausted by then and wishing I could have had half an hour to sit and relax on the porch when it's light out, before the bugs come.I just want to vent a bit. I know parenting isn't easy and I don't need patronizing comments. My wife has a hard time understanding why I need time away from kids - she works an office job - and I struggle to explain myself when she sees me being "selfish" for wanting time away from my own kids. I just need time where I don't have to worry over someone else's life.Thanks for listening. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3gvw9LW
