Been building sets with my kids lately and honestly after they go to bed I keep building. Something about following the instructions and just zoning out is weirdly relaxing. My wife thinks I'm weird for buying extra sets just for me but this is cheaper than therapy right?
This is the move. Building after bedtime is honestly my favorite part of the whole parenting day. Nobody yelling, no instructions I'm missing, just the satisfaction of completing something. Plus your kids see you enjoying it and they get it.
It really is therapeutic. I've got a collection going and sometimes I'll rebuild old sets just for the muscle memory of it. Something about following the instructions exactly versus the chaos of the day.

Man, same here. After my son goes down I'll sometimes spend like an hour just organizing bricks or working on my own thing. Wife walks by and just shakes her head but honestly it's peaceful.
