Really, though, don't feel bad I'm sure all moms feel like that at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122708 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 20:11:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 122708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't feel guilty - everyone needs "me" time, especially if you are having to care for someone else 24/7! Can your husband take your baby for a few hours every couple of days so you can sleep, or get away or do something for yourself? Do you have family close by who could give you a break every couple of days? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122685 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 20:01:49 +0000 mediagirl 122685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, I think it's totally normal!! You're not a bad mom for wanting time to yourself!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122635 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 19:21:25 +0000 regberadaisy 122635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bb's not even here yet and I'm already thinking if we can sneak away for a lunch when we visit my aunt in Toronto! Hahha I'm sure my mom and 2 aunts will love having her for a hour or two right? ;)</p> <p>I hope you have a great time tonight!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122630 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 19:08:27 +0000 SAHM0811 122630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what I find funny/difficult about parenting is I often feel the need to have a break or day/night off... but then when it comes down to it, I don't want to go... I do force myself though, but then I also spend the time away missing them SO much!</p> <p>hope you enjoy your time off... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122600 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:28:06 +0000 Rubies 122600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, all the time!

I'm sure your brother will do a great job with his nephew! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122451 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:55:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 122451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: i'm leaving him for the whole evening for the first time tonight. Some friends are having a game night so we're going out. Kinda nervous about leaving him!! My brother is watching him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122400 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:59:37 +0000 chopsuey 122400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course! It's totally natural.. Since you have family close by, you should see if your mom or sister would be willing to watch your Lo while you and Dh go out for a bit. You can pump and leave enough for 2-4 feedings? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122397 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:58:05 +0000 heffalump 122397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't feel guilty, it's normal! Parenthood is sooooo hard. Can you have someone watch your LO for a little bit so you can at least have a few hours off and get a massage or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-feel-so-guilty-but-do-you-ever-wish-you-could-take-a-day-off#post-122385 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:47:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 122385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday I was just soo dang tired, and all day LO wouldn't take decent naps in his bed. I know his schedule was messed up because of all of our errand-running, but it was an accumulation of several days.</p> <p>I felt guilty even thinking/feeling this, but I wanted a day off from motherhood soo badly. I just want to be able to sleep 8 consecutive hours BY MYSELF and not have someone sucking my breast every 3 hours. I want to wear regular clothes without wondering whether it's conducive to breastfeeding! </p> <p>Anyone else have those days? </p>
