[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read this whole thread but I also hated weekends when my kids were little, and I only worked very part time. For me the issue was the change in scheduling and routine. Kids like routines, so when my husband and I were suddenly really PRESENT and READY TO HAVE FUN they were all like, um, okaaay? 😀 srsly though, routines are good for kids and adults and suddenly having no routine is hard on everyone. We ended up creating a “routine” of Dunkin’ Donuts on Saturday mornings and a playground after church on Sundays I think… just something everyone could hang their hat on. Because we ultimately decided that big outings to the ZOO! Or a museum or whatever weren’t worth the effort when they were little- so much disruption, the naps? The snacks? Driving home or metro-ing home more tired than we’d all started. Good luck, OP. My (4!) kids are older now and I enjoy them very much. I didn’t love parenting when they were little but love it now. And you had to do it in a global pandemic!!! My hat is off to you. [/quote]
