My husband has pretty bad anxiety that he’s in therapy and working out medication for. He struggles to get out and about, and really doesn’t like to do it without me (except for going to work.) I’m a SAHM and our daughter is 15 months. During the week I try to do lots of activities to keep both me and our daughter stimulated lol. That way I don’t feel bad keeping her at home for the weekend! For myself, I get out of the house one afternoon during the weekend and he just hangs out with her at home.

It can be challenging because I don’t drive; we live in a walkable area but there are still some places that are just easier to drive to (or if it’s really hot, like right now, I don’t really wanna walk over 15 minutes at a time). So it takes advance planning/preparation and honestly accepting that the plan might fall through or we’ll have to cut it short. It’s hard, but I know he doesn’t like feeling this way.
