I think you have to strike a balance between what your kids want and what you and your wife want. I don't think you should fear letting your kids down if you don't eat, drink, sleep ball. I realize you didn't say that, but I can't help but think that down deep inside maybe you do. Everyone should have boundaries.

How does your wife feel?


Romans 8:1-2
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, for the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of Sin and Death"
