Keeping friendships during the summer

[Rountree Recreation]

I wonder how many marriages end during the summer? A parent is still trying to work and tend to kids. A stay-at-home parent no longer has ANY time to herself (or himself). You feel like your spouse does not care that you NEED some time whether you are on either end of taking care of the kids or are the working spouse that wants some time with the person with whom they are married. You went on "vacation" and now your work load has doubled and you are tired and no longer feel refreshed.

 

Think back - and respond if that may have started your down fall.

 

Now, would a week break during the summer have helped? A spouse gives the kids a week "Vacation" to a good camp where they are looked after and they have fun with horses and swimming. ( you do have to claim them every evening, but we will try to have them sooo tired that they eat dinner and go right to bed so they are ready for tomorrow) No bathing suit or towel washing until the end of the week and it is just one. It cost for the week about the same as one night in a hotel.

 

You now have time to do some of the things you wanted. Send roses to your spouse at lunch - take them to a quite place for lunch ( let me know where one is), spend an afternoon with them or read a good book. It shows them that you understand. The lasting effect might be cheap in the long run.

 

Could a grandparent show their child that they care the same way without ending up with the grand kids at their house for a week?

There are many ways to save a marriage. Mostly, it is putting yourself in someone else's shoes and thinking about what they would need or want. A special friend could do it for a friend that they care about. A neighbor or someone whose kids are grown can help out a younger couple that might be getting close to quitting because they don't know they need some time with each other. We can reduce the divorce rate by helping those that we care about.

 

What do you think? Yes. We do have a day camp. And yes, We do still care about your kids and the families that we meet. We would like to see a family stay together if possible because it is hard on a family. Many of the kids we see are from divorced families and we would love to see these numbers be reduced for the good of the family. Thanks for reading this and sharing with a friend.
