Great idea, Bath. I need a lot of peace and quiet and my own time, something I don't really get too much of these days! I can go into meltdown mode when it all gets too much - thankfully usually a holiday is about to come up when that happens! But I find I am trying to sort out DH as well; he doesn't deal with his work stresses well at all. I feel like I am constantly soothing him, but no-one is looking out for me. (I also end up leaving the house and going for a walk on my own when I need to.)
