Obviously, some of us moms get really busy and I realized even if some of us are working from home – it can get as toxic as working in the normal 8-5 job setting. This week, I’ve requested Ashton’s nanny to stay over daily from Monday to Friday. Same with my working hours which is 9AM to 5PM (I set this for myself).
In between doing my job/s, I still breastfeed Ashton. One thing I’ve noticed though is my lack of time for my husband. Lately, we don’t seem to jive at the right moments – either my brain is not absorbing the story he tells, or he himself is busy doing work.
Luckily we were able to spend some time this week in one of my favorite coffee shops. Sometimes I feel that I want to communicate a lot of things, concerns, etc. to him but I find that talking about them spontaneously at home is not a good idea. Either third parties are present listening and would give unsolicited advice, or both of us are already harassed with things that any amount of wrinkle eye cream cannot fix .
Setting a time and place to talk whether about finances or the household is a better idea. Like talking in a coffee shop with just the two of us. Husbands are also more focused that way. Noted, their brains do not work like ours.
What do you think for you is the best time to talk to your spouses?
