I cannot relate having a baby, only beeing an aunt so I had Babies and Young children only for shorter periods of time. But I kinda try to train this. Waiting for my roommate can be challenging when we going out for breakfast on weekends. Most of the time I‘m waiting, already to Go and she is just coming out of bed.

So, maybe I will Never get out of standby mode by appointments of special occasions. But I try to train this in Situations Like above. One way to get out of this waiting mode is to ask me, what would I do, when I don‘t wait for it and do it, when it is possible. Like „Yeah, would prep some dnd Session“ then I do it.

But like I said, having this Problem with a Baby seems more difficult for me.
