YES YES YES!! I love alone time. I will usually get a mani or pedi if I can, or I will just go into the bathroom and lock the door! Lol!

Yes! I NEED my alone time. This is what I have found hardest with being a mom. I can't just go be alone. DH knows I need it so he will often take LO on a road trip for a couple hours just so I can have some peace and quiet!

@mrs. bird: Haha! Going into the bathroom doesn't always work for me either. My DH always chooses that moment to need something from me. I think for now long showers will do. I actually take an extra long time to get ready for bed so I can unwind alone. Like 30 m ins just to wash my face and brush my teeth.

Very much. I like the few hours of peace I get before DH returns from work.

I have always liked to be alone.

You are NOT AWFUL. One of the biggest tensions in my marriage has been that my husband and I are both introverts who really need alone time - and obviously that is difficult to come by when we have a child to care for. Getting everyone's needs met (if not some every day, at least some every week) for togetherness AND alone time is the hardest work I do in my marriage. It is SO rewarding when we get it all figured out and we all get our needs met - it makes us so much happier and healthier and balanced.

You need to be able to talk to your husband about this!

Yes, I love alone time! I would kill for some right about now. Just to sit at home on the couch and catch up on Kardashians and eat ice cream. lol Then get on my computer and catch up on my blog. Alone time is so much harder these days with a baby.

@mrs. bird: yes as weird as it sounds sometimes I take my laptop into the bathroom for some me time

@mrs. bird: don't feel guilty about it...everyone needs their time, some enjoy it more spent around others, some people, like you, need their alone time. It does make it tougher to ask when they're sweet & not doing anything wrong...good luck

eta: just saw pic...they look yummy!

Yes, I love me time. Haven't had any in a while

I absolutely love it. I'm the biggest introvert ever. DH is gone for the weekend and I'm loving it so far...ordered a pizza...having The Office marathon... Not bad!

Oh, I feel your pain! I need alone time, and we've gone through periods of unemployment when my husband was always home and it drove me insane.

Oh yes. Dh usually goes downstairs or I read or just take a bath.

I actually get supremely cranky without sufficient alone time. Poor husband didn't get it at first, but he's better now. I watch my friend's 14 month old LO from time to time and she is super interested in the toilet. Anytime I go to the bathroom, she follows me in and all but climbs into my lap. I learned once early on that closing the door results in a 30 minute melt down. I do secretly dread the days to come when I can no longer pee or poop in peace and solitude.
