And when I say leisure, I'm not saying you're gonna sit around eating bonbons and watching T V all day, but

I mean, it's really is important that you have a little bit of time every day, whether it's a walk with a friend or with your partner or whatever it might be for you going on a hike, you have to be putting that time into planning for those really essential things because it's gonna make you a better parent.

But also that comes back to the slices of your pie.

It's really essential that you are looking at your pie and saying, okay, today this might be a sliver, my hobby is slice, right?

I might not be golfing all day on Saturday, but I might be taking a guitar lesson once a month because that makes me happy.

So it's about being realistic about what you can fit in today and also realizing that these years go by really fast.

are long and the years are short, something?

And by the way, I want to go back to your date nights with Darren for one second because I love the fact that you guys I think it's Sunday nights that you go on your date night.

It is that night.

I remember from Facebook.

I always admire that.

So, um because at one point I thought of switching our Saturday night date nights to Sunday just because of you guys and then we went back to Saturday.

But

I I I do think having that in your calendar in advance, like one of the best pieces of advice I ever got, which totally applies to this community, is is is hire a weekly sitter.

And it wasn't just hire a weekly sitter on Saturdays, it was hire a weekly sitter to start at three PM.

It's a great idea to have this time before your date night to do some errands with your partner, get anything done you wanted to get done, and you'll feel like you really have time together and also you're getting stuff done.

But your your child won't suffer because you have a babysitter at three o'clock instead of five o'clock, and it makes you feel like you have sort of an extra time away.

But the other thing about a weekly sitter is that you're not redoing the math every week and saying, oh, it's

It's not worth it.

I have to pay for the sitter.
