DH told me to take a Sat morning off to do whatever, and I said dude, I NEED the Sat morning to clean the house, do laundry and do a billion chores and run a million errands that I never have time for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2141086 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 09:01:22 +0000 Mae 2141086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: agree. </p> <p>I think if you're worrying about if your "me time" is "me" enough you're overthinking it. One thing I do is make an effort to not do things I feel I HAVE to do when I have a little time off (i.e. the dishes in the dishwasher can wait) but beyond that... who cares. If you enjoy googling parenting stuff, thats fine. If you don't, thats also fine. I think finding some sort of hobby is probably a good idea if you're feeling overwhelmed with mom-dom... but also I think that the infant/toddler years are short (in the long run) and being a bit consumed for that time isn't the worst thing in the world if that is your inclination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2141075 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 08:38:02 +0000 CakeLady 2141075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: I am still at a loss for the WCM transition. I spoke to the ped last week and she was no help. I asked her about starting WCM and she bascially said "we do that at a year" then I told her that I plan to be done pumping at a year and if I should transition him gradually. She gave me the same answer. Not feeling thrilled with her, I think she is a little old fashioned when it comes to feeding. So, I am looking around for other reccomendations and will decide on my own what is right. I just haven't figured out what that is yet :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2141071 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 08:35:08 +0000 CakeLady 2141071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @Torchwood: I did have a nice time, but I feel like I should work harder to turn off the mom worries and guilt when I have time to myself. Especially if I'm only out for an hour! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2140988 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 00:09:03 +0000 Torchwood 2140988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @blackbird. Getting away from home/kid stuff entirely is probably better, but a mani/pedi is always nice, and I've enjoyed reading HB since before I was pregnant, so it barely counts. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2140876 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 20:18:31 +0000 blackbird 2140876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you enjoy yourself? if so, I'd count it as me time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2140872 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 20:12:09 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2140872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My me time for the week was running to a Mom sale while DH had DD this AM...I had a delightful time, but think I should disconnect from all things kid-related sometime :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2140869 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 20:07:58 +0000 reyorra 2140869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me time? What's that... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2140758 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 16:55:22 +0000 cmomma17 2140758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like a pretty good day to me! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2140756 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 16:48:57 +0000 BadgerMom 2140756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, no advice. I'm terrible at me time too. I'm doing it right now :silly: </p> <p>On a side note, any consensus on the cows milk transition. I've been wondering how to go about this too. I'm sick of buying formula... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-terrible-at-me-time#post-2140743 Sat, 11 Apr 2015 16:12:25 +0000 CakeLady 2140743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I planned to take some time to do some things all by myself today. The morning got filled up with errands and projects around the house, now I am getting a mani pedi and meanwhile have been reading hellobee (fun, but parenting related), researching how to transition to cow milk, and listening to The Longest Shortest Time podcast. What is my problem?!?</p> <p>Any advice on how to be more me centric during me time? </p>
