I rarely go on vacations; the days off are usually used on extended house projects or doing something for one of the kids. My husband rarely saw the point in going anywhere as a family, as he traveled all the time for work. Now, he usually goes to Florida with a friend and plays tennis.
I used to spend the entire weekend cleaning house, grocery shopping, clothes shopping, running errands, doing car maintenance, etc. for the whole family. Now I mostly loaf. The house is a mess, but I cannot muster up “house proud” any more.
I wish I could get back to entertaining friends on the weekend. I miss cooking for them.
