I just stopped doing things.
When my son asked me why his clothes weren't clean, I told him that if he helped out around the house, I would be less tired and his clothes would get cleaned.
When my SO asked me why the bathroom wasn't clean, I told him I hadn't found the energy to do it, but he was welcome to go ahead and clean it if he was offended by it.
No one else will put you first, AG, you have to put you first sometimes. And, frankly, my son and SO didn't have that much to say about it when I explained that I needed my "downtime" as much as they do.
