Have the Children Help

I hear this a lot, and the concept is legit.  It makes sense that if I can't keep up with the demands of everyday life I should recruit my children to help.  The problem is that my children themselves are already overloaded.
Long before I was a diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, I already knew there was something slowing me down, and I taught my babies early on to take care of themselves.  They learned to make their own beds when they were two years old.  I wasn't particular about hospital corners, mind you.  They put away their own clean laundry, helped wash dishes, and picked up their own toys.  When they were tall enough, they ran the vacuum cleaner, dusted furniture, and loaded the washing machine.
They're teenagers now.  Their school workloads are heavy and they have plenty of other work.  They do a lot of the cooking, most of the yard work, and all of the pet care.  My children are often called on for odd jobs or volunteer work because they are reputed responsible hard workers, and they are available during daytime hours because they are homeschool students.  Besides their studies, volunteer work, paying jobs, yard chores, and household responsibilities, I try to make time for them to spend with friends.  Teenagers need downtime, too.  And somewhere in the middle of all that, a little family time would be nice if I can be rested enough.
Incidentally, very few of those who suggest I have my children help, have offered their own services.  On the flip side, those who have extended a hand to me, have done so to my children as well.  I may be the only one in this house who's been living in adrenal fatigue, but I'm not the only one in this house who's been living with it.
