Question:
Someone help me please....?
I am stressed out and dont know what to do.I take care of my mother-in-law and have to deal with 3 kids on top of that. mother-in-law has melinoma cancer and is on hospice so I do everything for her. Other than that I have a child who is ADHD and I have to deal with that too. Can someone tell what I can do out side of the house that will relive my stress other than the gym. I think I do enough walking, pulling and carrying around as it is.

Answers:
Your situation is called the 'sandwich generation', caring for both kids and parents. Below is a link from the Mayo clinic listing a bunch of stress-reducing strategies. If the mother-in-law is on hospice, ask to talk to her case manager to get additional assistance. You need to set boundaries on what you will and won't do and hold to them. Recruit assistance from your husband and his family. Have your kids do more. Good luck.
