Sometimes (ok maybe often) I just need some solitude and quiet. I just need some time for my special interests. It helps me relax and relieves my stress. It takes a whole day for me to calm down from my work week before I can even start relaxing and enjoying things.
My issue is that I have a wife and five kids. Not that that’s a problem in and of itself. It’s just hard to get some solitude in my house. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience in regard to getting some solitude without offending the family?
Often it just feels like when they are in the same room, i have to cater to them or like they need something from me. They aren’t asking for anything. It just feels that way. I don’t like asking the kids to leave the room but I truly just need time alone. I don’t want my family to feel bad.
