How do you manage your weekends when you have kids? It's such a struggle for us.. I' m exhausted after working all week with a demanding job and we try not to do too much or we get worn out but there's always the weekly jobs to do plus the extra things like DIY/maintenance. Husband is great at taking his share but sometimes works as he's a musician. There's usually some batch cooking (chilli, curry etc) to help alleviate pressure on week nights when we get in after 6. We didn't do much for half term and I just feel short-changed and like we never get a break (holiday mud Aug). I decided we should go out for the day this Sat but it would be an early start on Sat and I'm already shattered this week and can't face doing everything on Sun.
Is it just a case of re-framing what needs to be done? Anyone got any useful tips? It's making me a bit resentful!
