Well figured I'd jump in this conversation and give my experience. I have 4 kids 2 girls and two boys. Both me and my wife work and share household responsibilities. My oldest daughter is 9 and she is a God send. She has the comprehension of most teens. So when she noticed some things were "off" with daddy she asked my wife and I if I was OK. We sat her down and explained it the best we could and surprisingly to us she caught on very well. So if I'm having a down day, which is usually I want to stay in bed, and f off. I get extremely dark is the best way I can explain it. My oldest normally catches it and helps me to get out of bed and to function for their sake. She also will make games for them to play that keeps the younger 3, who are 8, 5, and 2, from agitating me. My oldest son the 8 year old is a little too much like me lol. He doesn't quite understand but he's getting better and will help out the best way he can. Then when Mommy is home she is my rock that keeps me grounded. She knows when to do whatever I need to make it through. So I can't imagine I'd have made it this far without my wife and kids. When all my will and energy are spent the thought of them just gives me that little boost to get me over the hump. Albeit sometimes it's more of a crawl lol.
