Lest this post be misconstrued, I want to say right up front that I 100% support my husband and hope that real estate makes him happy and brings us financial reward as well. That said, I miss him on Saturdays. In the old days, this was one of our family days. We planned to spend it together, somehow…either doing something fun outside the house or just hanging out at home. It was a day to regroup and reconnect and it was just fun. But now, he’s always doing realtor-y things and I am left home alone with 3 children who don’t understand why their daddy isn’t home playing with them. I am not very good about taking them all out on my own because it’s hard to keep up with 3 small kids when you only have 1 pair of eyes. My friends are always busy with their families on Saturday because most of them have husbands who work Monday-Friday jobs. Like our old life, it’s family day for them.
Suddenly, Saturday has gone from being one of my favorite days to my least favorite day. Every time I hear about some fun, family oriented activity I get excited. And then I remember…Saturday isn’t family day for us any more. It’s a difficult adjustment for all of us.
