Because we are the curators of their life for now, my wife and I choose to schedule the kid’s adventures in accordance to our likes.
They do have a voice in matters but on occasion an executive decision is made and since we have the car keys we plot the course. So their weekends are often busy with trips to the beach, museums, festivals, bike rides and more with mom and dad.
A day is soon coming when they’ll earn a little autonomy and they might choose to hang with friends, drive to the mall, or head into Tosche station to pick up some power converters. I suppose my better-half and I will find ourselves all on our own again checking in on them via texts.
