Down time and family are very important too. My husband doesn’t really see our son 3 days week because of work. We believe it’s also important to hang out just the three of us and purposely don’t overschedule or book every weekend (this would tire me out 😂)
Yeah we go out to a festival/expo/market every Sunday and my sisters come along or I’ll invite a friend w kids. I’m very social. And then Sunday arvo is family catch-up time at my Mums/sisters and he’s got cousins he can play with, esp if my cousins’ kids are there as well which sometimes they are. I see a friend every week but that may be by herself or w the kids, depending.
I dunno about big social events but we have family dinners most weekends, usually 3 or 4 extra people. We like it. It's been good for grandma and grandpa to have time, kiddo spends nights with them and she loves it. 😊
