I like my job but the Sunday scaries are real. Wondering if I did enough this weekend or spent enough quality time with my family, but still have a list of things I wish I got done, wondering how this week will go, caught between the count down until the end of the work week but not wanting to wish time away

My parents are semi-retired. They travel for months every year @ArraDreaming
I reckon I'll do that too. Give it a few years and I'll retire early so I can travel.

Nah, not now. What for the baby to be able to appreciate it first. @ArraDreaming
Remember, the kids are happy with a cardboard box. They don't need to see the world.
Once you've got a house, settled, kids are older... then think about taking them out on big trips.
My parents never took us to big trips. They worked hard and I've told them not to leave us an inheritance.. that they should enjoy the money they have earnt.
When your kids are older, another cheaper holiday are cruises, esp the ones for kids. You pay it off a little every week.

It’s usually measured by whether I’ve done something one on one with her that she enjoys doing @PizzaMondo. Whether we have gone out and done something just us.
We like going out for cuppas. Doing Lego. Playing games, arts and craft. Watching a movie.
