Hello Tink, it's nice to meet you. I am a stay at home mom too mine are ages 3,5,6,8,and 10 and it is definitely a chore to take care of them. Have you considered join a local support group, I am in group therapy and it's great because it gets me out of the house once a week and I get to learn new skills for dealing with depression.
Anyway welcome to psych central, if you have any questions feel free to private message any community liaison or moderator, here is a link to a list of forum leaders.
