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.
-
I do the dishes, then work if I still have energy... which depends on how hard bedtime was!!
-
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!
-
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).
-
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.
-
I hop online and eat ice cream. or I pass out immediately!
-
@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.
-
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.
-
@T.H.O.U.: normally i am asleep by 8:30. Tonight I am trying to catch up on some personal admin stuff.
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!
-
I watch her while she flips and flops until she falls asleep (through the video monitor). Once she's asleep, I go downstairs, help with dishes, clean up from dinner, eat dessert, get on the internet, read, watch TV or just go to bed.
-
I either craft or go online and watch tv.
-
Wash diapers if needed, wash dishes, make dh lunch, eat a snack, bake, read, watch tv, run (new habit), shower, chat with dh. I like to do stuff after she is in bed
ETA- online of course too.
-
work usually. do some chores. if i'm really tired or unmotivated, drink wine and watch tv!
-
I usually do work for another few hours after DD goes to bed.
-
I usually play video games, sew, study/plan or go to sleep.
-
Either work or do chores. Once a week I try to just lay around and read a book on my night off.
-
I either clean or have down time to myself. Tonight I'm trying to work on birthday projects. LO's birthday is less than 2 weeks from now, and I am way behind.
-
I usually clean up!
-
i usually clean a little - pick up her toys, wash dishes, wipe down everything... then i'll veg out with DH in front of the tv while i hellobee. we like watching shark tank and the voice together.
-
Abso-freaking-lutely nothing. I've been productive and ON all day - the night time is my only time off. Stay at home parents don't get lunch breaks, or bathroom breaks, or anything. My night times are precious.
-
When LO was around 6 months she had a super early bedtime (5:30) so my husband and I would work out, shower, have dinner, and watch tv. 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
-
Ill usually clean the house, do dishes, watch tv and veg out in front of the comp!
-
Drink heavily...j/k. DH and i usualy hang out or he watches TV while I am on the computer.
-
I go to bed the same time she does!
-
We usually clean DS's play area and the kitchen. After that, we sit down and relax! We find something to watch on TV and I spend some time on HB.
