We are in our early 30s, so weekends get usually packed with one things on Friday evening, something on Saturday, sometimes Saturday evening too, and then you try to catch up with family on Sunday.

In the end, even if it feels very good to see people, sometimes it can be quite tiring too.

My current weekend was

a chill evening on Friday with a friend
nothing planned on Saturday until a social gathering at 6pm
nothing on Sunday

And I feel fucking great.

So that's it, just some random thoughts, what is your stance on the matter? Do you manage to keep time for yourself, or are you running from one event to another?

Yep! It's so much better when the youngest is at least five. I can supply the "stations" (water, food, clothing, etc) and take some time to relax, instead of having to help them with every bodily need.

Just not having to worry about them turning into a nightmare if they skip their nap would be a win. Now don't get me wrong, I love his Monday nap when his big-sister is at school......but when I want to out on the weekend it can definitely cause issues...cause the kid just doesn't nap unless he's in his cot.
