I have to get up in the middle of the night just to have time to myself.

Hello.I am writing this as a bit of a vent and to see if anyone else shared the same or similar experience and perhaps offer some insight or advice.So, we have a 6 year old and a 2 year old. I am a stay at home dad and go to school 2 nights a week. My wife works full time. I just find it really hard to make time for myself. I feel horrible about this because I love my family, but I feel that if I don't have some time alone I am going to have a mental breakdown.I understand that when my wife gets home, she wants to settle down a bit, bit it turns into her on her phone and I pretty much wind up running around after the kids until bedtime. I try to say that I am going into the office to do homework or even just play a game or something, but 10 minutes later there is banging at the door and I come back out to see that my wife is just sitting on the couch in her phone.I know that I just go to school, bit I have projects and homework to do, but it is like that is not as important as when she had to do something. It is getting to me and I feel like it is really getting to me.I figured out a plan to try out. I would wake up in the middle.of the night, or really early in the morning, to have have some time for myself. Well, my son is sleeping with us now (he used to sleep in his room, but got sock a while back and we allowed him to pick up this bad habit, but I am trying to work on getting him back in there) I swear every time I move, he senses it and gets up. So, now I can barely get up and wind up sitting in bed starring at the wall or the ceiling.My wife gives me a hard time about it, too. It is not like I don't make time for us, though. We do our alone thing when we have a chance, either after they go to bed or early in the morning before the kids wake up. However, when I try this alone sometimes, I get grief about not wanting to get up and spend time with her.I don't know...this sounds like I am whinning, and maybe I am a bit, but shouldn't someone be able to have a little time for themselves or am I being a bit selfish?Thank you in advance for your responses. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2zDPJ7x
