I’m finding the work/life balance really difficult to adjust to.
It’s nearly the end of another weekend and this is how I’ve spent my weekend.
Friday night my Wife was out for works meal whilst I minded my 7 and 9 year old boys. They played fortnite in different rooms until it was bed time. I watched something on TV.
Saturday. Got up and exercised which I do 4-6 times a week. My wife was hungover in bed until after midday (very unusual but she’s had some stress in work so I thought I’d leave her be). Saturday afternoon I attended football (soccer) Match as I do every weekend my team plays at Home.
Saturday night kids again on fortnite in different rooms, my wife in living room looking at her phone on one couch and me on another. Around 9pm I just took myself to bed. Sick of looking at my wife on her phone looking at shopping sites or Facebook. Sick of trying to fill the time watching tv.
Sunday. Got up and again whilst kids on fortnite spent a couple of hours on phone/couch. Wife was exercising in kitchen. Midday we took kids to climbing centre which was good to get them out the house and doing something active. They enjoyed it.
Then a trip to the supermarket to stock up on weeks food.
Now Sunday night. Kids on fortnite, wife on couch with real housewives of Beverly Hills on tv. I’ve just took myself to bed just to think for an hour. There’s got to be more to life than this surely.
I work from home all week alone and most weeks Monday to Friday apart from seeing other parents on school run i socialise and speak to nobody else. Maybe it’s something to do with that. I was invited to go out last night with my friends but due to our financial situation I thought I’d decline, plus I knew my wife would have something negative to say about it. Citing money.
Maybe I’m annoyed because i haven’t had any alcohol this weekend like I usually do or maybe I need to just work more instead. Bored shitless at the moment that’s for sure when it comes to life balance.
