In the Slate parenting advice column, a mother expresses her struggle with her husband's large crafting hobby that occupies significant space in their small living room. While she understands the importance of hobbies, especially with the limited time for them since their child's arrival, the clutter from his equipment is causing frustration. She suggests discussing a possible solution but worries that moving his hobby might feel like stripping away a part of his identity. The column emphasizes the need for open communication about balancing personal interests and family space.
You do not need to put blinders on-your husband needs to take his off. His weaving loom is obviously more than just a weaving loom, it's a representation of the before-times.
Navigating hobbies and personal identities as a parent requires a balance between personal pursuits and the realities of family life, especially in tight living spaces.
