I get such a feeling of contentment coming home to my beloved family after a lesson that has gone well. So my suggestion is to take up a hobby, like playing a new instrument, to stimulate your mind and free you, however briefly, from Barney Syndrome. I have learned that my life does not need to lack intellectual stimulation. In many cities, local bands and orchestra offer Concert in the Park series. These are most frequently held in the spring and summer months.
Parents can enjoy a concert without the concern of a young child disturbing other concert-goers.
I have also found that breastfed babies are extremely portable and are usually quite content when carried in a sling. This opens a whole string of possibilities including indoor concerts, museums, art exhibits, poetry readings, and lectures. Some special tips can make your outings more enjoyable for all involved. When attending a concert or lecture, sit near an exit and be prepared to leave early if your baby gets too fussy. If you haven 't paid much to get in, it won't be quite as hard to leave if you have to.
