I"d love suggestions please for improving my life balance. How do you make time to
exercise
socialise
have enjoyable time with your spouse
relax,
do housework, paperwork, and other chores, fix it jobs, that need doing.
A few of us were discussing how negative it can feel if hubby is handy and good with technology and is always given more and more requests from the wife or family to fix and solve more and more things. It saves money but can be very tedious, dreary, endless. ( reminds me of the story to offer to wash dishes but then break a couple so you are never asked again.For hubbies that are good with technology or handyman stuff the requests can be endless and demanding . )
How can we balance all those tedious jobs with relaxation, romance, fun, appreciation so that we dont feel that homelife feels tedious with a constant list of chores .
Can wives of handy hubbies try to not make requests for a few days a week or do we schedule fun and relaxation once a week or a bit per night and not let anything encroach so we feel we have a happier balance between endless chores and relaxation/fun/ family time.
do you have a routine for date night, or nice walk or outings together, relaxation per night, or weekend, so that you feel you have nice time together and not just an endless list of things that need doing which can make a relationship feel tedious rather than fun.
Does the appreciation you get maybe make you feel less heavy about the endless list of chores. How do others deal with the never ending chores, handyman jobs, or technology chores in a family without spending a fortune for experts to do all these and still having time for enjoyable time alone or with the spouse.
