After that, we sit down and relax! We find something to watch on TV and I spend some time on HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-704092 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 23:56:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 704092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go to bed the same time she does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-704007 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:58:01 +0000 mrsmenow 704007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drink heavily...j/k.

As she gets older and stays up longer we can't do as much. She's almost 17 months and has dinner at 5:00 and my husband is usually home bw 5:30-6:00...we put her to bed at 6:30, make dinner, clean up and watch tv usually. Sometimes he works in the evenings and I catch up on chores or watch bad tv or catch up on hellobee...we need to start working out again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703977 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:43:38 +0000 sarac 703977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Abso-freaking-lutely nothing.

Tonight I am trying to catch up on some personal admin stuff.</p> <p>I haven't watched TV in about 2 years, I try to read, but my eyes are tired. I also get up at 5:30, so my days feel so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703734 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:52:14 +0000 bpcmarj 703734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually watch TV with DH. But, I think I am going to start reading or cleaning or something. I also feel a little unproductive after she's in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703730 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:49:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 703730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I am so used to an early bed time now too because of this! It's so hard to stay up and be productive. My alarm goes off at 5:45 so even without mid night wakings I like to be in bed by 9-10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703729 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:49:07 +0000 chopsuey 703729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hop online and eat ice cream. or I pass out immediately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703726 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:47:52 +0000 Dandelion 703726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We relax...watch TV and hang out. DH gets home only shortly before DS goes to bed, so it's our chance to catch up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703706 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:40:50 +0000 looch 703706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Us too, we're normally in bed super early, I am used to front loading on sleep to help me deal with night wakings (which are just now starting not to happen). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703694 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:35:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 703694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sadly, we often fall asleep at the same time. On the odd occasion that I do get her down, I try to be very productive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703665 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:27:15 +0000 mrbee 703665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the dishes, then work if I still have energy... which depends on how hard bedtime was!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-after-your-toddler-goes-to-bed#post-703658 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:25:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 703658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you get your lO down what do you do in the time between when they go down and you go to bed? I usually veg out and get on HB but I'm starting to think I should be more productive with my time. Any motivation? I WOH so once she goes down its my first time to relax. </p>
