I do! 
I look forward to work after long solo weekends with the LOs.

Absolutely not. I constantly have people needing my attention at work. In fact, it actually REALLY annoys me when people say that WOHMs get so much "alone" time and so many "breaks". FALSE.
-
Huh? No way. On some days, I am in back to back meetings.
-
Yes, totally! Some days it's way easier than caring for a grouchy toddler! And no one asks to try some of my lunch!
-
@MamaMoose: LOL and WORD. I have to close my door and put a DND on my phone to get any peace . . . !
-
Heck no
-
@MamaMoose: Although, to be fair, I do get to go to the bathroom by myself.
-
I count it as alone time too!
-
Nope. I'm a nurse so I'm really never alone at work and it's not always all that different than caring for a toddler
. Some days I'm guilty of thinking of my husband's work as his alone time though. Occasionally he has long drives and I'm thinking "wait - you were in the car by yourself for an hour?!? Listening to whatever music you want? You had silence if you wanted it?". Sounds like heaven...
-
@MsLipGloss: People talk to me in there too!!!!
-
@MamaMoose: *augh* I do seek out the private bathrooms we have to eliminate the inter-stall chit chat though. But that really stinks!
-
I do! Especially now, I'm updating our documents so for the most part, people leave me alone. Yay!
-
@MamaMoose: amen!
Definitely not! Instead of crying, needy babies, I deal with the adult versions during the day. Even my lunch breaks tend to be spent doing something productive, running errands, etc.
-
I definitely don't count it as alone time. I mean...I guess I get my pumping time during my lunch break alone (in a cinderblock room with no windows/no cell service/sketchy wireless internet).
I feel like alone time is time when you get to do whatever you want--like sit on the TV and watch a show with coffee in my hand.
@MrsF: oh, I have a long commute, too...but I HATE driving and have some road anger issues...and I pump while I'm driving so I feel like I'm way more stressed after driving. Definitely doesn't qualify as "alone time" for me.
I guess I associate alone time with relaxing time.
-
@MamaMoose: ugh! I hate when people try to talk to me in the bathroom!
And no. Work is not alone time for me either.
-
@Mama Bird: Eat and bathroom trips without a shadow? I am online shopping right now!
-
Depends on the day! Today, yes, because I don't have much to do and am getting a paper written.
-
Most of the time - I'm left alone to do my job (editing) for the most part, so unless I have meetings and people dropping by to ask me things, it's alone time. I can also create alone time by going to get a coffee or just going for a walk downstairs.
-
Quiet time? Sure, sometimes.
Alone time? Lols no. I am never alone
-
No, I am neither alone nor is there quiet in my office. I had to go hide in an empty office the other day to get some work done.
-
Negative - LO comes to work with me. My "alone time" is when I take a shower, go to the doctors or when he's in bed!
-
Not alone time, but kind of "me" time. My job involves one-on-one appointments for most of the day, but I'm super social so I thrive on that kind of stuff.
-
I guess, in a way? I don't enjoy work, but it is nice to be able to use the bathroom by myself, eat lunch, and browse the internet when I'm not busy.
-
SO, today I don't even get to PUMP alone. I have a "library closed" sign on the library door and an "occupied" sign on the door to the room where I pump, and I got two attempted walk ins in a 5 minutes span just now. WTF people.
Can't WAIT to be done with pumping at work. grrrrr.
-
Sometimes. If i don't have a lot of meetings or my boss isn't asking a lot of questions, then yes. Otherwise, it's pretty exhausting bc meetings have lots of follow up and to do's on top of regular day work. Eek!
-
@Anagram: what?! Not cool!
-
@MsLipGloss: inter-stall chit chat? Nobody wants to pee & have a heart to heart. Boo!
Work time is definitely not alone time. Alone time is coffee + music + reading on the deck.
-
Soooo, I am a SAHM, but I was a WOHM between my two kids, and I looooong for those days. Maybe not alone time, but it was a change of pace, and in my role, adult time. I miss that so much it hurts some days.
-
Yep at times. When I'm not emailing clients or chasing down hardcopy, it's definitely quiet alone time. I use it to organize our lives or get an eyebrow wax. I think I take way better care of myself as a working mom then I did when I was on maternity leave.
-
@Anagram: That is brutal! Perhaps you should post a sign that says, "Caution! BARE BOOBS!"
-
@woodentulip:
Hugs!
-
@heartonastring: I would, but I work in a middle school and I can't have students seeing that! LOL.
What a headline that would be.
-
Bleh, not at all!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: pee-cisely!
-
Not usually.
-
No. I enjoy working but don count it as me time.
My me time is after ds is asleep or if dh is on solo duty!
-
I do. Our weekends are so jam packed work is low key compared!
-
No, but in all honesty yesterday I couldn't wait to come back to work! LO was a terror yesterday, I needed an adult break.
-
Pardon me, but hell no.
I teach.
. 
Hugs!
