re: How do you deal with fomo?

My kid used to go to bed at 5:30 and get up at 5:30 because of work schedules we had in BR. It was boring as frick some days just sitting there every night. I love him but at least now he is older and can interact with us now and stay up until 7 - 7:30. But you still have to plan going to the grocery store and that is your alone time for the day.

It can be hard when you are in that situation to not just look at FB and be like look at all the great things people are doing. We still did lots of great things and traveled, had fun and we go out with him a lot as well. We we have the means to, that is not always the case. But on a random Tuesday when you are bored out of of your mind because the routine is just is getting old it is easy to slip into the FOMO mode.

Right now at this point we are trying to think of things to do that challenge our minds and not just sit on TD or FB. Being a parent is fun, but it is not all sunshine and rainbows like people pretend.
