Now, before weekends, vacations, or even busy school or workweeks, we talk about expectations. We specifically ask each other, “What do you want this weekend to look like?” I might say, “This is going to be a busy weekend. I’m down for whatever we need to do, but I would like to swim at least one day and play pickleball for a couple of hours on Saturday.” Steve might say, “Let’s try to grab dinner, just the two of us, on Saturday night after we drop off Charlie. I’d like to play water polo for a couple of hours on Sunday. What time is pickleball?”
