South Western Ontario, Canada | Simple answers to some of your issues...
1) if work won't help you with time off either take holidays or get a new job....
2) tell the kids to get on the bus to get to and from school......I was NEVER driven to school NEVER!
3) kids want to do sports.....during busy times they can find rides or miss a game or two and HELP around the farm...I had the same choice as a kid and I got rides most of the time and days I couldn't get a ride I was either in the barn or helping in the field.....sitting in the house was NEVER an option. After busy season do your best to make it to the most events as possible.
4) your father needs help......get him help whatever it takes.
Well.....your wife......I think part of the issue is your stress level. Get your stress down and the mental health day or two or week is the best idea. Me, I have a wife that books camping and we leave the stress behind. After getting the trailer parked the biggest stress is figuring out who is getting out of bed first to start coffee......
