I think I only get about an hour now, usually spent while I get ready in the morning. The rest of the time is at work or with DH.
-
About 45 mins before work each day and a couple hours after DS goes down for the night while I do chores.
-
An hour in the early morning while I work out. I guess I get some for a couple hours after LO goes to bed but I spend it with DH so it's not really just me time.
-
I'm lucky if I can squeeze in a shower + checking my emails while eating in a non-frantic fashion. Yeh, so hardly any alone time.
-
I have to add that I can get some "me" time in the middle of the night when LO and DH are asleep, but that's like shooting myself in the foot the next morning!
-
I get up at 5:30 now to work out and LO doesn't get up until 8. It gives me time to exercise, shower, and relax while eating breakfast. I get naps to myself too but sometimes it's spent doing chores around the house which isn't really "me" time for me.
-
Very little. I work, so I don't like to spend time away from her when she's awake and I have a chance to be with her. I'm bad about not leaving the house after she's asleep, though. I should make that my me time.
-
I haven't in the recent weeks because work has been crazy. But, usually we take the night time after LO goes to sleep 7/730 as our me/couple time and then also on the wknds, dh and i try to give each an afternoon or evening to have "me time" aka get a mani (for me), video games (for him)
-
Daily?... I get about 10 minutes after dinner, usually still eating or sitting at the table, while DH bathes P & after G is tucked in.
This last weekend was actually the first real substantial baby free me time I've gotten since P was born. 3.5 hours Friday, 2 Saturday, & 2 Monday out shopping by. my. self. for birthday party stuff. It was wonderful! Lol
-
not much! I get 'me' time while she naps, but really - it's spent cleaning, prepping the diaper bag so we can run errands while she's awake (she naps in her crib now), or peeing/eating!
-
About 40 minutes a day during my workout if DH decides he is too tired otherwise I actually get none.
-
I try to take a relaxing bath every night in which I read my book. I try to do 30 minutes of pure quiet and relaxation.
-
Oh goodness... 30 minutes in the morning if I'm lucky and DD is still sleeping. Maybe 10 minutes when I get home to change my clothes?
I really cherish my commute now! -
In terms of time spent doing something alone for pleasure? Not much! During the week, none. On the weekends I try and make an effort to go out somewhere alone - I've joined a book club for that reason but if they aren't meeting I at least try and go run some errands on my own.
