Wow, love your system @Cheeringsection.

I confess to having this same problem. It feels like our house is the Ritz Carlton (without all the employees). Food, laundry, cleaning . . . it all happens with little to no help.

OP you should try having the discussion, as suggested above. Your kids may genuinely not be aware of how stressed you are. If you’re like me you try to do it all and for a long time you have kept the balls in the air. But things are changing and other family demands have presented themselves.

I wouldn’t want to ‘run off’ my kids or blow up at them. That being said, they have to learn reality at some point.
