#134 - Back To School Reflections — On Time Warps, Fleeting Friendships and Designing A Summer You Actually Enjoy

Alex and I are back reflecting on the summer holidays that have somehow came to an end.Six weeks of keeping the children entertained, going on adventures, meeting strangers at parks and soft plays, making fleeting friendships that lasted an afternoon and somehow meant gave us something.We both made a deliberate choice to prioritise time with our children this summer. And to also make sure we got something out of it too.In this episode:→ How we kept the kids entertained → Why we both deliberately stepped back from work and made peace with that choice→ The fleeting friendships our children made — and what those short term connections teach them about people→ Designing a summer you actually enjoy and the sacrifices that make it happenAnd now we are back to school wondering how we ended up here so fast.That is the parenting time warp. And we cannot un-see it.
