Now, don’t get me wrong they can be little angels when they want to be but then some kind of fog comes over them and it’s like I gave birth to Satan’s kids. I need some peace and quite, no noise in the back round. Can’t bear to hear the pitter patter of tiny little muddy feet destroying my newly purchased rugs. I love my kids and if anything were to happen to them I’d go crazy but I just need some time alone so I can relax and listen to Noel Coward. My big guy, Ed is absolutely no use around the place – he’s dead weight. Ed’s just turned 60 and whenever I ask him to help out with kids he’s always saying that he will but he never does or he complains and says that he’s too old and if he had any accidents I should expect to pay full cost for all the funeral arrangements – he's a real bastard sometimes. I need some well earned rest but I know that won’t be possible because my husband is a lazy idiot who just lounges around in grubby vests and demands cans of beer (how does he expect to live very long if he's damaging his liver with poison?). Need a good break away from all this mayhem … or I’ll break down … anyone suggest any ways how I can restore my energy and come back a new woman?

I think this is really about your relationship with your husband...the above article has some valid points and suggestions for you.
Get closer to your husband, make a game plan on what to do with the kids, be a united front in discipline and give yourself some time off, hire a baby sitter and go out!

 You need to take a break or rest , recuperation and restoration or you will soon end up in the junk heap.LOL!
Take one day or one evening off per week with your buddies and go paint the town red.
One good evening is all you need to come back and slog like a mad woman for another 6 days..
You need to be assertive and kick his bad ass

 Hi
Eeeek, nightmare!
He certainly sounds as much use as a chocolate saucepan your ol man! So basically, you have kids under the age of 18 and one over the age of 60. It does suck to be you!
No relatives that can take the kids overnight ocasionally? So you can go out and meet real adults not overgrown ones?
Are they not at school age yet the kids under 18?
My 2 are at school so i get some peace and quiet from their fights for brief times and they go to stop at their dads every other weekend, so i can go out then. But i guess if Ed is on his but all day, you wont have a break from him.
I wouldnt mind betting your ol man is more of a problem than the younger ones by sounds of it..
C xxxxx
