I'm learning how hard it is to enjoy time with my S's without my W. it's not that you don't have fun, it's more than you don't have an adult to share it with. You miss the playfulness and inside jokes. The banter back and forth about whose side of the family they get 'that' from.
Yours are at an age where they're changing so much, and showing their personalities. You should be sharing that with your H. Your feelings that its unnatural are valid. It would be easier if it were only us and our spouses who are missing out, but our kids are too. That hurts the most.
