Feeling overwhelmed and burnt out

Work has been insane, kids are crazy right now, wife and I haven't had a real conversation in weeks. I feel like I'm just going through the motions every day and not actually living. Take kids to school, go to work, come home, make dinner, put kids to bed, pass out, repeat. I love my family but something's gotta give because I'm at my breaking point. Anyone been here before?

With three kids I've been exactly where you are. You need to cut something, even if it's temporary. Can you scale back work? Ask family to help? Something has to give because you can't pour from an empty cup.
Burned out parents aren't good to anyone. Seriously consider reaching out to someone, whether it's a therapist, your doctor, or even your boss about workload. This is fixable but you gotta take the first step.
