I feel sad for not dedicating time to worship during Ramadan because of my responsibilities!

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings. Every year in Ramadan I used to maintain the Taraweeh and Tahajjud prayers, but this year I'm very sad because I can't go. My sister has three-month-old twins, and currently no one is taking care of them except me and her. I have my job and my university studies, and the rest of my day is spent with the children. I feel regret when the time for Taraweeh prayer comes because I can't even pray at home. I don't have a moment of free time because the children are constantly crying. I'm not upset about being with the children-I love them a lot and I'm happy they are here-but I am upset that I don't have the time. My question is: Is a person rewarded for the intention alone? Or is the reward for me sitting with the children greater? I really feel very sad...

I feel you, seriously, it's the same with my own kids. Just remember that their happiness and care is a form of jihad. May Allah keep you steadfast and give you strength.

I wish you could calm down, the situation is temporary and the kids need you. Pray with them and God will record every reward of your prayers, God willing.

May Allah reward you for your sacrifice! Your reward from Allah is very great-caring for children is an act of worship. Keep up the good intention, Allah will compensate you.

Don't grieve my dear, nursing your children and your tenderness towards them is the best prayer. Your intention is sincere and God is generous.
