Unfortunately, he is picking up on your frustration and sense of defeat and he's "running with it." He doesn't understand what your feeling, but picks up on your energy and as far as he's concerned, your moving appendages provide for pretty nifty attack and chomp games. In addition to all the other wise suggestions, you must play with him every single day---hard! Just as you made time to play with your kids, ya gotta make time to focus on him. If on any particular day, you find your patience wearing thin, simply stop--gently--and come back to him later when you're feeling stronger. Buy a hard rubber kind of pull toy to play tug-of-war and such. Get a little squirt gun and always keep it close, but hidden and every time he bites, blast him. As soon as he stops, give him excited good boy not to bite---and make sure he hears you. Sometimes for them to hear us and understand we're pleased, we've gotta clap hands, back up, talk in higher voice and make sure he's responding (bounding, wiggling) cuz if he isn't, he's not getting it. Ya gotta give him a reason to stop the bites. I think you'll both be ok....deeeep breathe and look how cute he is....yes?! You'll get there!
