Just wondering how others cope with only children, especially at weekends, when you're single.
DS7 is very energetic and is literally on the go from 6am to 8pm each day. I arrange activities but still struggle to fill the 14 hours. This weekend was an example - we had such lovely weather and had a great day trip on Saturday. Sunday was a day at home and ds wanted to play in the garden but wants someone to play with and I just find it exhausting.
We played card games, football and charades. He watched TV for some time and played on the computer but I was still struggling to fill the day. When he has friends around he's occupied for hours as he's very social but I can't organise playdates ever weekend...or is that the answer??
I find that by Sunday evening I'm shattered..anyone else find a way to cope. I want to enjoy time with ds but it just feels so full on.
