Take extra long dumps in the bathroom
And escape out the window?
I stay up late and do my own thing at night. I definitely hate myself for not getting enough sleep but I get time to myself to do whatever
This. My kids go to bed by 8:30. I stay up late doing whatever I want to do... unless I have to finish work. And yes it is frustrating when you don't get time to yourself. That's ok. You're only human .
Get up early, make the time your own, exercise, approach the rest of the day with a calmer frame of mind.
Wife and I have agreed upon “house to yourself” hours. Saturday morning is her time. Sunday morning is mine.
Send the kids over to summer school or your parents house while you take some time off work. I have lately realized I am never not working either for kids or work. So I crave a true time off 🤷♂️
Yes, absolutely. I had a very hard time giving up the independence that I had all my life. Communicate openly with your SO and set a schedule. Before work, after bedtime, lunch time, weekend mornings,…
I noticed that when I have a plan with a set time for just me, I’m much happier.
I started going for a run around noon. My offshore team has signed off for the day and most of my client meetings are in the afternoon. It is one of the advantages of being remote. As other folks have said, carve out time for you how ever you can. This is just what works for me.
Also don’t forget to have a regular date nights / long weekend trips with your SO. It helps to maintain the connection and be on the same page when the kids are inevitably annoying.
Yes. I’ve recently struggled with this especially since my SO is in medicine. Biggest piece of advice is:
Communicate your frustration and the impact on your mental/physical health. It is important to have those down times especially as it relates to your mental and physical well being. If you’re not happy, it will impact your kids and relationships.
Your SO is probably frustrated as well so work together to have coverage to do the things you want and need to do!
Nope.. We signed up for this.. No one ever said marriage and raising kids was a bed of roses.. If often hard and thankless work.. Put your back into the plough. You get as much as you out in
You sound like a fun parent
You have to learn to compromise when you have kids and learn to time things better. For example, if you want to work out, do it in the morning before going to the office. This way you’ll have free time when you get home. You’ll need to sleep a bit early too though.
