Jim's advice is good, Ali. I'm not foolish enough to think that if you stop cleaning, your boys will magically take up the slack out of guilt... but if you have a family meeting, explain that there need to be some changes, and enlist Dazza in the oversight of the teens' new chores, I think you could really ease your load a lot. You are worth more to your family, just as they are worth more to you, but right now you are too overwhelmed to see it.
