It's hard to 180 (going out with friends, golfing, etc) with a child because it feels like I"m detaching from him too. But I"m going to try.
One great GAL to do is just take him without mom and do things with him. 13 is a great age to just go do fun guy things.
Absolutely. The problem is, I already take him to sports practices 2-4 evenings a week, and he has games/tournaments on most weekends. It doesn't leave a lot of free time for either of us.
Remember, where there's a will there's a way. I'm sure you can find bits of time here and there to do fun stuff. Take him out to eat after a practice. Take him for ice cream after a game. Tell your wife that on an open Thursday night you have plans and she'll need to watch him.
GAL is what you make it. Lots of LBSs do it poorly because they don't try.
