My husband works longs days, usually gone within half an hour of us being up and usually either not back before bedtime or just in time for bed. He works alternate weekends but is usually so tired on days off that I still end up doing most of it despite having just gone back to work myself. I've found that a lot of libraries by us have songs and stories on a Saturday which we usually go to, then we either go the park or there's a little play room at the museum just opposite so we go there. We also do soft play on weekends and our local shopping centre has a free sand pit now. My youngest wasn't really a fan but my almost 4 year old loved it 😂 There's nothing wrong with being in the house! My youngest sleeps best at home so I tend to try and do at least Sunday or Monday (non working day) at home.
I’m in the same situation! When my husband is working (summer time is very busy) he doesn’t get home to see our baby before she’s in bed. Always working weekends too! I often see my parents or his parents on the weekends if they are about or just go on a walk. I’ve always been lonely on the weekends as all my friends want to be with their partners on the weekends. Where are you?
