Haha, yes when you are a parent something has to be sacrificed and the first thing to go is sleep. You don't want to sacrifice good quality child time because they are just too damn important.

You could just focus on yourself and neglect them, but that is just plain wrong. However, it's important to have time for yourself or you will go crazy; so you must keep that part of your life.

You could give up work, but dumpster diving for food sounds more stressful than work IMO. What about your husband? You could spend less time with him. Oh, wait! That relationship is probably already squeezed for time because of life. Much less and you might as well as not be married.

Yeah, sweet yummy sleepy...to the garbage dumpster you go.
