Downnout,

Everyone has feelings of being inadequate in their life. I don't care who they are. You are a bit overwhelmed by the kids and everyday living. How old are your children? can one of them pitch in and help you around the house, or are they old enough to be responsible to watch the younger ones for a few hour a day while you work?

I asked about insurance so you can go to your provider and ask for a referral to a counselor. May I ask if you believe in God? Are you spiritual? Perhaps prayer can help you. I am a spiritual counselor if you are interested. I enjoy helping people.

You are not whining, you are expressing you exasperation with your current situation.

Have a great day.
