I've had the week off work and despite it being a nonstop exhausting battle to the death with two young kids...I've had a really nice time with them both. In short: fuck work for robbing me of that time with my kids.....
At the same time my partner vowed to take the kids out for a few hours today so I'm looking forward to a bit of Me time.
My wife took the kids for 2 days while I went to a tabletop convention with my d&d group. We had an awesome time and when I got back I realized how much I missed everyone.
Both my young kids made me feel loved when I got back. All around great week.
I think eventually I'll get back to that. Right now though...it just seems so daunting. I don't even know when I'd find the time to fit it in on the regular.
Yeah is agree being consistent on it can be a challenge.
I used to be able to use the consistent day naps as running time (wife stayed at home with kid, then we switched for the other weekend day). Since the nap drop this has been hard, especially after the weeks of cold over the winter...
