I love spending time with my S, my friends and family.
I used to love just kicking back and enjoying a beer in the bar and relaxing. (used to because I'm sober for 72 days now)
I love playing and watching sports, going to sporting events, comedy shows.
I like watching movies at home or at a movie theater.
I like going to Japanese Hibachi grills.
Sometimes I enjoy being a couch potato watching TV or kicking back and playing video games or playing on the computer.
I like exercise: running, hiking, biking, weight training, etc.
I AM DOING AS MUCH OF THESE THINGS AS POSSIBLE! Right now, money is a little tight because of Christmas, some are hard to do because I have my S some nights, and some are hard to do because of winter.
I'm gonna call BS on the last paragraph....just cause I can...
Those sound like excuses...
Your Son is 4....correct ???
FIND A WAY, to incorporate him into those things too...
(except for the Bar thing, that might not be your best option )
Let HIM teach you how to live through his eyes....
Get to know him on HIS level, and let him teach you how to live right now...
Nothing is impossible to a child.
Can you push a stroller while you run ?
Can you watch movies with him ?
Can you teach him about sports ? ( Although you may be an Iggles fan, so football may be out of the question )
Does he eat ? The show is 3/4 the fun at those places...
STOP MAKING EXCUSES....
And let him show you how to trash a room in 2.5 seconds....THAT is cheap therapy buddy....
I love this quote....
To be a memory in your child's mind tomorrow, you have to be present in their life today...
