Tell me your selfish without telling me your selfish.
I'm the same as PWC1 with the exception of home schooling. Some weekends you just can't wait for school to start on Monday, and that's okay.
A couple of thoughts.
Under 5 was flat out not my favorite stage with kids. It gets better (and soon). Your kids will develop quickly and be able to be more interactive and able to participate in more interesting activities do it won't seem like such work.
Even under fives can do things you want to do in short chunks. It doesn't have to be all play dates at the park. Take them to something you want to do and enjoy. They will usually figure out something to do that interests them.
Last try to find a couple of the things/aspects about it that being you joy. Kids grow up fast. My at tend and we are looking at just a couple more years and they don't want to spend much time with us
Church/Mosque/Temple/Gurdwara/Community Association are other great places to meet people at different stages in life and with shared values.
Under 5 is tough. Typical weekends look like this for us:
We each get a morning to do what we want on the weekends. She will get up and go for a group ride or hike with friends and get coffee. I might do something similar or just lay in bed and play on the switch. We also alternate on errands (which is alone time too— just me, Costco, and the sample tables). And we try to alternate play dates with other parents. Afternoons/evenings are all together family time.
But if we have a thousand birthday parties in a weekend, it all goes out the window.
Same. My wife takes the kids to music class on Saturday mornings and I’m free to do whatever. Sunday mornings are mine and she can do whatever. 2 Saturday nights per month we have a baby sitter so we can do something together or with friends. Keeps us sane.
Under 5, and anywhere around 2 is hard. Our oldest of 2 just turned 5 and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. That said our 2 yo is really going through it. Feeling like I’m on a hamster wheel.
I think it’s perfectly okay to feel how you are with the weekend kid grind being tough.
Isn't it such a fun age for kids? I know it's annoying going places, but they are seeing things for the first time in so many cases. I have 4/3/1 yr olds and it's a pain to get them ready to do anything.
There's a positive side that maybe difficult to see.
Two things that are very effective for us:
1. I aim to wake up at 4am for my time, which means I go to bed by 10p
2. Switch off on who gets the morning and who sleeps in... Same for bedtime routine
Well my Weeknd used start on Monday and end on Friday when we were going to office. Now I really don't know what is weekend. Dad of 6 yr and 1.5 yr.
