A few days a week, I get quiet time after I've put LO down and before DH gets back from playing soccer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1728175 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 18:33:44 +0000 fussygal 1728175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes during her naps, although the past week I HAVE to be holding her to make naps happen. So my time is usually at the end of the day when DH is home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1728075 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 17:34:28 +0000 petunia354 1728075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I cannot function without it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1728026 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 17:00:23 +0000 cyndistar3 1728026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nap time and showers :) I live for those moments ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1728000 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 16:48:23 +0000 coopsmama 1728000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just during nap time. I live for nap time these days! I love DS but he is into everything and has the motto "the noisier the better!" :grin: I just love how relaxed I am when the house is quiet and clean and he is sound asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727679 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 15:00:44 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1727679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On Sunday nights when DH is working and K is in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727673 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:59:37 +0000 Kimberlybee 1727673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: DD takes 1 long nap now (3 hours) so I use this as my HB or quiet time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727670 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:58:00 +0000 bushelandapeck 1727670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During naps on the days I am home and for an hour after he goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727657 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:55:00 +0000 autumnlove 1727657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, work, after work, during naps and after bedtime! I need quiet time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727497 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:05:52 +0000 Mae 1727497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: lol exactly. Also I think LO has a sixth sense to somehow know whenever I get food. I swear every time I get her down for a nap and rush to get my breakfast or lunch together, the moment I sit down with food she wakes up and cries. (Plus side: I keep losing weight bc LO does not give me much time to eat and she really likes being walked around and around and around and around and around..... haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727486 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:01:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 1727486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, C is normally a decent napper, so I make sure to take a few minutes during her naps as quiet time. It's nice, and I know it won't last forever as she naps less and we eventually add a second kid. </p> <p>@Mae: I remember those days so well-- the most frustrating part-- well, ONE of the most frustrating parts-- was not knowing how long you have. You rush to take a shower, brush teeth, eat something, clean something, get all that done in 15 minutes, then she sleeps for 2 hours. Next time, you relax for a few minutes before getting in the shower and BAM, she wakes up the second you put the shampoo in your hair. And you're thinking "Why did I waste all that time finishing my coffee?!?!" It gets better, promise. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727470 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:54:34 +0000 Mae 1727470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is napping right now :) </p> <p>I have a hard time enjoying it really right now because she's a really unpredictable napper... so I'm always sort of on edge because her nap could be 5 minutes or 2 hours. I think as she gets better/more predictable on napping I'll start enjoying those quiet times a whole lot more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727469 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:54:30 +0000 lawbee11 1727469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On the nights that my DH teaches I get some quiet time after M goes to bed...so nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727463 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:53:57 +0000 Adira 1727463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes after Xander goes down to bed if Hubs is playing video games, then I get time to myself, which is nice! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727451 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:50:04 +0000 ILoveLettie 1727451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lettie is 5 months old and a pretty low-key baby, I feel very lucky. She is a good napper so I get quite a bit of quiet time, especially on days where my husband is also home &amp; I'm working from home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727442 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:46:49 +0000 Boogs 1727442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually just at night nowadays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-quiet-time#post-1727437 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 13:46:02 +0000 matador84 1727437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids are napping, and I'm laying on the bed. I'm trying to take a nap, but can't fall asleep...so I'm just enjoying my quiet time for now. </p>
