Sometimes it drives me mad but mostly I just enjoy being at home with my dc and dh. Life is hectic with work and chores. I try to keep busy with youngest dc on my days off. Weekends are often taken up with eldest’s activity. We have no family help.
I have lots of friends who always want to plan things. I love my friends and I’m happy to have days out with them now and then be it a spa day or lunches or nights out. But it seems like lots of them are wanting to plan weekends away for birthdays and hen doos this year (abroad has been mentioned) and the thought just fills me with dread.
My dh is a capable father but I’m definitely the default parent and I do have some anxiety about leaving dc. But mostly I just can’t be arsed. I like my home comforts. I don’t want to have to share a hotel room. I like my boring routine and while my friendships are important, being with my dc when they are little is more important. I don’t know how to convey this to friends who see a weekend away as an escape and don’t want to go home!
And dont get me wrong sometimes I want to pull my hair out and think a break might do me good, but I also can’t really force myself to spend money and annual leave on things I don’t really want to do. Is this just me? Am I officially boring?
