When i come downstairs, my kids will ask if i want coffee. They know i love coffee, my 5yo can make it even exactly how i like it. My husband has made breakfast and a to go lunch, and takes care of the kids going to school. I just listen to a few stories about dreams, drawings and what they are going to do in school the coming day. Then i go to work.

When i get home, the kids know to let me go out of the hallway (to take off my jacket and shoes) before they can hug and jump on me and tell stuff they are excited about. My eldest will ask what i want to drink (wine, water, soda) and dinner is ready on the table. My husband gets a hugg and kiss and i ask him how he is doing. I ask the kids during dinner, turn based, how their day was. My eldest has ADHD so this way everyone can tell.

Then i go do a few chores my disabled husband cannot do, like laundry. He gets the kids ready for bed. I tell them a story. And then downtime.

It's a day of being cared for and caring for.
