Instead of thinking of it as daddy duty, are there any new activities that you would enjoy that you can involve your kids in? GAL can include your kids. Use this time to be an amazing dad and try new stuff. You may even meet some new people through these activities. If you normally just watch the boys at home, head out on an adventure. One night before Christmas, I loaded up S5, S3 and S1 in our car in their pajamas and we had hot chocolate and drove around looking at Christmas lights. The boys still talk about that night. It did not cost anything, we had a blast. And heck, when H asked the boys what they had done the night before, they talked about our awesome night. Much better than the kids just reporting that we sat at home
