Social battery for husband during the week (1 under 2) [ON]
My husband works during the day and I’m at home with by baby and dog. As I’m sure is the norm, I’m non-stop them both and then when I do have a moment I’m meal-prepping / cleaning etc. I love my baby, my husband, dog etc. and feel super grateful.
With that being said, would love to get other peoples perspective / insight on how everyone juggles time with their partner once their children go down for bed. I find myself completely checked out once we sit down for dinner. I often want to just eat and then go shower and go watch a show or scroll in bed to get some me time. Wondering if others feel this way and do it or do they push themselves to spend quality time during the week?
I know it’s important to schedule date nights and weekends are nice because we do connect more, so I’m more so talking about during the week. Is what I feel the norm or do I need to try a little harder?
I’ve asked some of my mom friends and they tend to feel the same way but would love to hear from others outside of my circle! I also know when and if I do return to work or have another (we plan to wait several years) it will only get worse don’t worry haha.
