We have a small 1600 foot house and my husband always escaped to our master bedroom after work. He got home usually 3 hours before daycare closed.
Several years ago we added a room onto our pool deck and that became his "man cave" when he retired. He helps me out during the day, but can also retreat into his own quiet space now and I am grateful that he has a place to go! He has always been super supportive and involved with my business and it has been nice having a space just for him. He has shared our home with daycare kids for almost 26 years and has always been such a good sport about it and I know it wasn't always easy!
When my son moved out last year, I was so depressed about being an empty nester and decided to turn the situation into positive one by using his old bedroom for my very own scrapbook room.
I couldn't agree with Blackcat more and ditto it..."try to let the little things slide and not stress so much about them.....your kids will be grown and gone quicker than you think and all these things that drive you crazy will be something you will wish were an issue now, at least once in a while."
