The helper is on her off day and my parents-in-law are at our place looking after the baby. My wife is driving out to meet me for coffee and waffles soon. I’m just sitting here at the cafe waiting and enjoying my alone time. It’s nice to do nothing and watch the world go by.

And finally put him down to sleep right when my parents-in-law arrived at our place. So they should have an easier time watching over him while we get our alone and couple time.
We always try to make time for ourselves as individuals, as a couple, as a family and as an extended family. It’s important to balance the time spent in the different roles we play so we don’t get overwhelmed by the various demands and expectations....
