I used to work from home those days but now I'm a SAHM so I schedule all my appointments and errands during that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122947 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:17:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2122947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took Monday and Tuesday of this week off, so that was nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122938 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:15:04 +0000 tinyperson 2122938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today! I got a pedicure, did a little shopping, vacuumed and then watched some Dr Who :) just meeting DH now to pick up LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122930 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:11:33 +0000 Mae 2122930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other than when I've had jobs I was working...? I guess the closest thing was a few weekends ago a good friend was having a bridal shower in my hometown 2 hrs away. so I left at 9am to drive up, visit my grandma, go to the shower, then drive home. I got back around 5. didn't feel like much of a day off though since I spent 4 hrs of it driving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122915 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:06:54 +0000 jedeve 2122915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would looooove a day off! The ILs took the boy for a weekend for DH and I to go away to a hotel, but I was 35 weeks pregnant. </p> <p>I wish I had taken advantage of daycare more when I was working and had days off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122906 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:03:07 +0000 snowjewelz 2122906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm off when I'm at work?

E went to MIL's and we picked her up late. But we did stuff around the house. So productive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122886 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:57:31 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2122886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I didn't do any chores or anything at all? Probably never. Even before becoming a parent. It's kind of a compulsion to me. Which is ridiculous sounding because my house doesn't even look that clean lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122876 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:53:09 +0000 regberadaisy 2122876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: you just had a weekend off with your friend!

It's been a long time. I can't wait until June 5th. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122869 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:50:47 +0000 mrsjyw 2122869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably five months ago? When I got my hair done. I'm getting the entire wknd off though :) Headed to see friends in Chicago tom! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122866 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:49:44 +0000 Mamaof2 2122866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in a long time - but that first Spring day we get I will be taking one!!! Hopefully soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122853 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:41:13 +0000 HLK208 2122853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been like a year. I desperately need one soon! I would really just like a nap and to be able to do yard work so my house doesn't look like a dump haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/parenting-day-off#post-2122843 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 14:36:00 +0000 regberadaisy 2122843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The girls were in daycare today so I played hooky from household duties and went shopping! But alas, daycare lost power and we had to pick up the girls early. My day off got cut a little short. :P But I really enjoyed the 4 hours I got! And I'm sure Target appreciated my business. ;)</p> <p>When was your last parenting day off? </p>
