Thanks for the support. I would like to paint a picture of my life to see if anyone has suggestions.
So it seems that when I am home, I should be spending most of my time with the kids. I do this. I also spend time in my own projects...work on my car and I just bought and set up an electronic drumset (read: quiet). My kids love it, and coming from a competitive drumline background, I always wanted to pick up drum set. I can tell my wife hates it.
The going out thing is difficult. I have to watch the kids two weekday evenings. Two other evenings and Saturday morning, I do group sports. That leaves Friday, Sat, and Sun evenings open to go out. Sunday evenings is my relaxation time with the kids...usually playing games or watching a movie. My wife never joins us. Even when our marriage was going pretty well, she would never relax with us.
I usually work on projects Saturday afternoon...lawn, car work, painting, etc. Sunday morning is church. I love spending time with my kids, 10, 9, and 7 yrs old.
