What about your weekends, Learningme01? Do you and your husband have weekends
that you spend with the children away from your home, such as visiting the beach,
the mountains, a major city, or the country? Do you have weekends when you all go places and
see different things?

That's so important; I agree very much with the concept that being at home 24/7
and caring for very young children is difficult, to say the least. They are very
demanding in their needs, and they have to be met. That gives you very little
time for yourself.

Your partner should be sharing in the responsibility for the youngsters, and you
should all have a variety of activity on weekends to keep an interest in the outside
world. It's very important for your children, too, to have diverse interests as they
grow.

You might try to buy a condo at some resort so that you all can get away from
everything for at least two days and maybe 2 weekends per month.

That ought to help.
