When it’s your ex’s turn with your kid/kids do you have a hard time leaving them?

 

It’s crazy how the sudden quiet in the car or at the house causes you to miss the loud playing or screaming that works the nerves at times. 

 

What do you do when you start to miss them?

 

How do you deal with your time away from them?

 

Below are some options to keep you and your mind busy while they are away.

Things To Do When Your Kids Are With Your Ex and You Miss Them

Since it’s not ok or realistic to sit around and feel sorry for yourself every time your “mini-me’s” are with your ex you have to get up and do something.

 

Because your mental, physical, and spiritual health are important here is a list of things to do when you are away from your kids that are going to help you mentally, physically, and spiritually to keep your mind busy.

 

1. Hang with family/friends. 

2. FaceTime or video call with them 

3. Listen to audiobooks

4. Start a new hobby

5. Take a weekend trip

6. Workout

7. Go for a walk

8. Clean the house (some people feel this helps)

9. Get errands done that aren’t as easy to do when you have them.

10. Do meditation

11. Enjoy some quiet time alone

12. Go on a date 

FINAL THOUGHTS

Missing your kids is natural and there is nothing wrong with that.  

 

However, when they are away you have to do things to help to rejuvenate you and keep your mind off of how much you miss them. 

 

Maximize this time by focusing on things to help you mentally, physically, and spiritually so that you can continue to be the best parent. 

 

As always…

 

Be Great! Be You!

 

A.B.P. ALWAYS BE PROGRESSING!
