Not much! During the week, none. On the weekends I try and make an effort to go out somewhere alone - I've joined a book club for that reason but if they aren't meeting I at least try and go run some errands on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653780 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:05:27 +0000 swurlygurl 653780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh goodness... 30 minutes in the morning if I'm lucky and DD is still sleeping. Maybe 10 minutes when I get home to change my clothes?<br /> I really cherish my commute now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653779 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:04:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 653779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to take a relaxing bath every night in which I read my book. I try to do 30 minutes of pure quiet and relaxation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653771 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:00:50 +0000 leelee 653771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 40 minutes a day during my workout if DH decides he is too tired otherwise I actually get none. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653747 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:52:45 +0000 sorrycharlie 653747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not much! I get 'me' time while she naps, but really - it's spent cleaning, prepping the diaper bag so we can run errands while she's awake (she naps in her crib now), or peeing/eating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653714 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:33:01 +0000 runsyellowlites 653714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daily?... I get about 10 minutes after dinner, usually still eating or sitting at the table, while DH bathes P &amp; after G is tucked in.</p> <p>This last weekend was actually the first real substantial baby free me time I've gotten since P was born. 3.5 hours Friday, 2 Saturday, &amp; 2 Monday out shopping by. my. self. for birthday party stuff. It was wonderful! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653694 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 07:22:14 +0000 mrsjyw 653694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't in the recent weeks because work has been crazy. But, usually we take the night time after LO goes to sleep 7/730 as our me/couple time and then also on the wknds, dh and i try to give each an afternoon or evening to have "me time" aka get a mani (for me), video games (for him) :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653629 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:54:23 +0000 mediagirl 653629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very little. I work, so I don't like to spend time away from her when she's awake and I have a chance to be with her. I'm bad about not leaving the house after she's asleep, though. I should make that my me time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653602 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:24:30 +0000 BelugaBean 653602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get up at 5:30 now to work out and LO doesn't get up until 8. It gives me time to exercise, shower, and relax while eating breakfast. I get naps to myself too but sometimes it's spent doing chores around the house which isn't really "me" time for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653600 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:23:12 +0000 SugarplumsMom 653600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to add that I can get some "me" time in the middle of the night when LO and DH are asleep, but that's like shooting myself in the foot the next morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653598 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:22:19 +0000 SugarplumsMom 653598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm lucky if I can squeeze in a shower + checking my emails while eating in a non-frantic fashion. Yeh, so hardly any alone time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653588 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:15:13 +0000 Running Elley 653588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An hour in the early morning while I work out. I guess I get some for a couple hours after LO goes to bed but I spend it with DH so it's not really just me time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653586 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:13:43 +0000 matador84 653586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 45 mins before work each day and a couple hours after DS goes down for the night while I do chores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-you-time-do-you-get-post-baby#post-653581 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 06:06:55 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 653581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I only get about an hour now, usually spent while I get ready in the morning. The rest of the time is at work or with DH. </p>
