Hi!
Last summer we moved into a great house with a pool. When we purchased the house we had custody of our ten year old grandson, and thought would be great to have, and have all other grandkids over. Grandson has moved back in with his mom, and while he is with us still minimum every other weekend, and other grandkids are here, sometimes I’m just like I don’t want to mess with the pool at all. We have had a lot of fun when everyone is here with pool.
Dont get me wrong, I think our pool is beautiful. We have had a couple of problems this summer - replaced sand filter, we bought a dolphin (best money spent ever) and fought algae when water got too low and pump didn’t work right. Also have had a lot of stressors, father in law and step son in hospital/rehabs multiple times since spring through last week and at about 1-2 hours away and have been back and forth a lot with that too.
So, I’m not sure if I am just overall tired in general? I love the pool when I’m in it, family here, etc. We do all the care of pool except for opening and closing, but with dolphin that has cut back a lot. I think sometimes maybe it was just one more thing I had to care for this summer so didn’t enjoy as much.
I don't want want to sell house or fill pool, but I must admit sometimes I have thought about it. Anyone else ever go through feeling that way? That even has made me feel guilty/sad this summer.
thanks for listening! I love this forum!
