It seems you've hit a very difficult time in your life right now. I'm sure you do care for the dog and probably do love it really, but you are saying you feel you are ready to rehome the dog. Perhaps this is the next move for you, but only you will know if it's right for you and your little family.
Dogs are supposed to get walked each day, but don't put yourself down so much if this doesn't happen. This does not mean you have failed your dog!! Could you and your children make these walks more fun? Could you count the birds you see in a competition etc? I'm sure your children have feelings for your dog too.
Financially, if you cannot actually afford to worm the dog etc, perhaps you should consider your options (of rehoming).
Is there any way of rehoming your dog with a relative/close friend? You may still feel for the dog or even want the dog back in a few months.
Please don't get too stressed, it's not an easy time for you (taking the dog completely out of the equation, you still have a lot of things going on!!). Take time over this decision and take a step back to work out exactly what you think you want/need to do next.
