The tired just changes

I remember when my kids (now 14F and 7F) were "little". I was SO tired ALL the time.Abnormal sleep schedules, childhood illnesses, etc. I used to be so excited for when they were older, slept regularly, could actually tell me what was wrong so their sickness didn't drag on and so on. Lastly, I was excited to get some solid sleep without them dying in their sleep or any other weird and improbable situation happening.​Well fast forward to today. I am exhausted. My 7 year old has some specific learning needs, my 14 year old is a) 14 with all of the emotions and disdain for her mother that entails, and b) plays competitive sports 3 nights a week. I coach both of their sports teams, I chauffeur them around, I volunteer for school activities, I stay on top of all their medical, dental appointments, I hug them when they're sad, i go away when they tell me they don't want to talk to me. I work full time in a corporate leadership role , and i'm going through the worlds most hostile divorce and am essentially on my own.​I know that is all just parental responsibility, and I'm not angry about doing any of it, in fact most days i enjoy it .​I am so tired, I cry all the time, literally out of exhaustion. I just wish someone more people talked about the fact that as a parent, you will often be tired, but the TYPE of tired you are just changes. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2IXN1Ot
