Now that I am a mom, "me time" is a little more scarce than it once was. I always try and make sure I do something I want to do after LO goes to bed, so I can relax and regroup from the day. I probably get 1-4 hours a night, depending on when I go to bed.
-
Usually an 2-3 hours at night, after DS goes to bed. I spend some time catching up on chores, spending time with DH, but I always take a hot bath and/or a hot shower.
-
I work until 3. I usually pick her up by 5 or 6. She sleeps at eight and I sleep around 12....maybe about 5-6 hours a day? I spend some of that with DH and some doing stuff around the house.
-
Right now I get about 20 minutes or so. We'll see what happens over the next few weeks.
-
Usually around 2-3 hours. And I treasure everrrrrrry minute.
-
About 2 hours a day now that her naps are so consistent.
-
I get a couple of hours between the time I get off work and when my husband gets home.
-
A couple hours if you count the time I spend holding her for naps! Hoping to get more time to really do things I want to do, not just watch tv!
-
Well, I get 3-4 hours after DD goes to bed, but generally I work during that entire time. So almost no real "me" time for relaxation.
-
"Me" time? What's Me time?
Well I guess it could be worse, I'm just so tired by the time J goes to bed that I don't really feel like doing anything...tonight I'm watching the Downton Abbey Christmas Special and on HB
-
A couple hours during nap time.
-
i don't get nearly enough. usually if i'm not with baby then i'm doing something for the house (cooking dinner) or us (laundry). even when he's sleeping, he's usually sleeping on me.
-
Not much. There is no nap time. Once I get the kids to bed I usually have chores to do then sleep. I guess when I am scrubbing the toilets I am alone but I wouldn't consider it me time.
-
I take advantage of nap time. I know I should use that time to clean up around the house, but I usually watch tv or spend time on HB instead. I also get a few hours once DS goes to bed.
-
Depends on the day. I spent most of his nap times today either cooking, doing laundry or cleaning the kitchen. But DH is home now and I'm on the computer for a short bit... I get more me time on the weekends when DH mostly takes over baby duties. Now if only I could detach a boob for him, we'd be golden!

My first response to this was 'lol'. So little. It's becoming a major issue in my life. Right now it's 10, and my daughter is crying and refusing to sleep for my husband, after refusing to fall asleep nursing. I need to go to bed myself, and her carrying on and crying 'mamamamamamama' really breaks my heart and ruins what little personal time I get. Ugh, rant over.
