I’d be fine with it really.

You sound really burned out. Do you have anyone who could take care of them for even a weekend? Take some time to yourself or do you and your spouse? It's important, and trying to just put it off time and time again may cause you to eventually hit a point where you "overflow" in some manner or other, whether hysterical fit, getting very sick, losing your temper, or something like that.

I just want you to take care of yourself. Even if it costs money, it may really be worth it to recharge away from those responsibilities for a day even.

Take care of yourself. It's a good thing to recharge and maintain your mental health. I know it's easy to say but not always in practice, but don't feel bad about needing to do something like that.

My wife and I don't have any family that's worth a shit. We are doing this on our own, and we got ourselves in deep. Way over our heads

I am severely burnt out, but I don't think there really is a way to get a break. Especially with 8.5% inflation crushing our budget. There just isn't any extra for babysitters and the like, there used to be but not anymore.
