Weekly Parenting Nights Off

One of the best things my husband and I have done for our family / marriage / mental health is to give each other a set “night off” every week. For example, he has Tuesdays off and I have Thursdays off.

This gives us each the ability to plan things in advance for our nights off, whether that’s a workout class, dinner with a friend, bed rotting for 5 hours straight - whatever! The other parent takes care of all parenting, dinner, and other duties for the evening and our kiddo gets dedicated 1:1 time with each parent for a night each week too. Great all around!
