Mom's weekend off.
Hi there.
Just wanted to share this!
Soo I've been becoming mentally and physically just done and strained and I needed a break.
I'm working part-time from home, I am on momduty day and night. I do every morning routine because my husband works late nights and I work late evenings. So if baby sleeps bad at night. He usually (re-)finds his deep sleep around 4am so that's when my husband gets home. So usually I do get some sleep then. But I also do need to get up in the morning because my husband also needs his sleep and I have the opportunity to sleep earlier. Above that I don't drive and he drives to work and home which is about an hour per route, so 2 hours per day. He thinks (I believe rightfully so) that his sleep is more valuable because he doesn't want an accident by falling asleep while driving. Which is understandable.
Anyways.. So last week I scheduled a next weekend to be "mom's weekend off" from Saturday noon until Sunday night. We actually didn't discuss this ahead.. I scheduled it.. And then told him, he asked me if this meant he had to do everything.. I said "yes I won't be here actually 😅.. No thats a joke but you take over everything this weekend" and he's fine with that.
Sooo I get to relax while husband does all the baby-child work and (most of) the household.
I might read a book this weekend 🤔
