I enjoy every second of his nap time and now that I am pregnant, I use it to relax and sometimes take a nap myself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148262 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 06:20:53 +0000 winniebee 1148262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha no way that one nap is my only break from 7- whenever dad gets home. And he doesn't sleep long at nap time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148254 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 06:13:01 +0000 Ree723 1148254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Same here. Being a SAHM, I am obviously spending loads of time with my LO, so there is zero guilt whatsoever when nap time comes around! I could see feeling guilty though if I worked long hours and didn't see her much during the week - it would be an irrational guilt though as I know naps are crucial to her development and not something done just because momma needs a break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148235 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 04:45:25 +0000 loveisstrange 1148235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HECK NO. Nap time is mom time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148221 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 02:42:26 +0000 illumina 1148221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I look forward to every single nap ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148220 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 02:35:25 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1148220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! It's when I have my coffee and get to eat in peace (while on HB) :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148206 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 00:56:39 +0000 sandy 1148206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: haha! There are definitely those days when I'm watching the clock and so looking forward to nap time!</p> <p>Now that she's down to one nap I do not feel guilty looking forward to nap time bc I'm pretty tired and/or have a million things to do...and I just spent a huge chunk of time with her...we both need the break by the time nap time rolls around :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148202 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 00:45:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 1148202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I'm a SAHM so I get all of his awake time during the day. If I was a WAHM I think maybe I'd feel bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148199 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 00:19:41 +0000 autumnlove 1148199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: 21 months! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148198 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 00:19:15 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1148198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was counting the minutes until bedtime today! We had a good day too...I just had so much other stuff I needed to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148188 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 23:25:03 +0000 emg86 1148188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148185 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 23:05:22 +0000 MamaCate 1148185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: how old is your LO? Mine is 22 months and I am just not willing to accept that she is done with naps yet. She is clearly over tired and cranky by the end of the day but so far no change. I don't know what I would do with myself for a 4 hour nap! Hope you enjoyed yourself too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148180 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:50:36 +0000 sunny 1148180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel a little guilty when I am counting down the minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148168 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:31:38 +0000 HLK208 1148168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way!!! I get so worn out from the LO's that I neeeeed my alone time!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148167 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:30:14 +0000 Running Elley 1148167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to but definitely not anymore! It's the only time alone that I get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148165 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:27:32 +0000 sarac 1148165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I work my ass off parenting, and naptime is literally my only break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148150 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:09:07 +0000 Kimberlybee 1148150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No guilt here! I love nap times. She looks so peaceful and angelic. I didn't realize how many pictures I took of her getting her beauty sleep until my SIL flat out said "no more sleeping pictures please, I want pictures of her awake &amp; smiling." Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148146 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:05:32 +0000 MarieJ 1148146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: +1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148145 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 22:05:04 +0000 autumnlove 1148145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: :-( My toddler is the same way. She took a freak 4 hour nap today because she is still fighting a cold but her naps are usually 0-45 minutes!</p> <p>The baby had so much fun playing with her toys during her sister's nap! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148073 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:50:57 +0000 MamaCate 1148073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I agree with PPs. </p> <p>However I am extra sad now because I have been looking forward to nap and being met with a toddler who refuses to nap for the last 3 weekends! Not sure what will happen with this... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148072 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:50:17 +0000 rachiecakes 1148072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I miss him so much during the week. Sometimes we take a Saturday nap together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148070 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:49:36 +0000 maybebaby 1148070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do feel bad sometimes, but of course when he is napping I miss him! I do know naps are good for him, so it's not like I am just forcing him to give me me time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148068 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:48:03 +0000 sslm 1148068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not.

Everyone benefits from nap time. We need our time apart to enjoy our time together. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148063 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:45:43 +0000 MrsF 1148063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel a little guilty sometimes. We play hard when she's awake and we relax even harder during nap time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148062 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:45:27 +0000 Katrocap 1148062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did ... until I read everyone's responses here! :happy: </p> <p>@autumnlove: I know exactly how you feel, though. On weekdays I get 3 hours (if I'm lucky) of awake time with DS. But on weekends I need a break, too. I'll remind myself of this post next time I have looking-forward-to-nap guilt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148059 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:41:09 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1148059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148020 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:21:14 +0000 Mrsjets 1148020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-bad-when-you-look-forward-to-nap-time#post-1148015 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 20:16:05 +0000 yellowbird 1148015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do feel bad sometimes.
