In an online discussion, a reader sought advice on a situation they were experiencing with their husband. The couple had agreed to give each other one day “off” per week from their parenting duties to work on self-improvement goals. However, the reader noticed that while they had stuck to their goals, their husband usually spent his day watching TV or playing video games, and then claimed he was too tired to work on his stated goals. The reader wondered if it was their place to push or remind their husband of his goals.
The advice given was to not judge or push the husband, as everyone’s definition of self-care may differ. The advice-giver pointed out the importance of rest, rather than solely focusing on productivity. Additionally, societal pressure on parents is often overlooked, and the mere act of taking a day off to care for oneself should be celebrated. Instead of reminding the husband of his goals, the advice-giver suggested questioning the effectiveness of setting aside 24 hours per week for self-improvement. Perhaps 24 hours was too much, and the husband would benefit from a walk outside instead of feeling obligated to commit to a volunteer organization.
Overall, the day-off concept should be treated as a valuable practice in maintaining one’s mental and emotional well-being.
