Sometimes I nap. Other times I do housework. Last week we watched House of Cards.
I just got done putting laundry away and getting some bags together for donation and cleaning out the new nursery so we can paint later today!
-
Definitely a mix of work and play! Today I have to clean the kitchen, it's sooooo bad. I also have some sewing to finish
-
Hold him
when we can get him to nap in his crib, I usually shower or do chores really quickly because I know he will wake up in exactly 45 minutes... And then I have to hold him.
-
Usually a mix of chores and relaxing. Right now we're binge-watching Parenthood.
-
Morning nap I clean the downstairs and shower. Afternoon nap I chill and surf the internet or watch a show. If DH happens to be home, I try to go to the gym or a run.
-
@lawbee11: I just started watching Parenthood this week on Netflix!! It's so good.
-
Housework, read, videogames, zone out on facebook, etc lol
-
Depends. Today I made bread, cleaned the kitchen and did dishes. I need to sweep and fold laundry but I'm taking a break to watch the end of Coyote Ugly and prop my feet up.
-
I very rarely get a double nap. Today I am but holding dd 2 to ensure she gets a good nap because she's sick. The house and dishes can wait.
-
Chores and relaxing
-
Chill.
-
I usually relax. I do chores when the kids are awake so I can enjoy naptime/bedtime!
-
@lawbee11: @Tanjowen: I watch parenthood during naps too! Since Jan 1st I've made it through all 5 seasons on Netflix. I'm now watching Season 6 on iTunes because I just couldn't wait for it to come to Netflix ! But I'm also limiting how many I watch in a week because I want to savor it. It's just so good!
-
@Tanjowen: @SweetiePie: We just finished season 5!
-
Usually he's only asleep for 30-45min, so I'll eat lunch, do some quick housework or try to nap with him (it takes me ages to fall asleep though, which sucks).
-
Chores and internet during the week.
Bow chicka bow wow on the weekends. -
I would love to get a bit of cleaning done but the slightest noise wakes her so I cant hoover, open the front door to take rubbish out or open the sliding wardrobe doors to put laundry away....... so I usually tidy up her toys then sit down with a cup of tea.
-
I usually nap once a weekend. DH always naps. Sometimes I watch TV, errands, pedicure, laundry, etc. Today I left when she was still napping to get my car washed.
-
Usually check/respond to work emails, Facebook, hellobee, watch tv, wash dishes/bottles, tidy up... honestly though, I get pretty bored and lonely. Am I the only one?
-
I SAH so during the week I feed the chickens really quickly, squeeze in a 30 to 45 minute workout and then do chores while watching netflix (dishes, dinner prep, laundry, phone calls...) Saturdays I usually just hang out and Sundays I usually try to get in a half workout and clean the bathrooms. She takes long naps so I usually get hang out time on Sundays
-
I usually have to hold her for naps. So I surf the internet on my iPad.
-
Morning nap, chores and watch Today show....our other cat naps....Internet surf if she is on me..or relax..if DH is home maybe pay bills.....lol
@oliviaoblivia: I'm impressed with the "adult nap" you get in -
Work/chores on the weekdays. Sleep on the weekends.
-
Usually a mix of chores/lunch/relax. I'll usually put in some laundry and clean up a bit then make some lunch and eat and relax. By make lunch I do NOT mean real cooking!
@CakeLady: aw don't feel too bad.. (Eta, as in, making comparisons... It's hard not to feel bummed and I totally don't blame you for that!) I'm assuming you have a younger lo. Many hb moms seem to have older toddlers. Hope you get there soon!
-
Um I nap.
-
@Cherrybee: same here. I actually find naps stressful because I cannot make a peep!
LO isn't a big napper
lucky me... I could never nap, she'd wake up for sure!
-
If he naps at home (on the weekends, days off) I usually nap with him!! If he falls asleep in the car, I usually grab a coffee and go for a drive or sit outside our house and surf the internet on my phone!!
-
I try to do some chores.....but usually just end up laying around watching tv, surfing the internet, online shopping. Oh and get ready during her am nap.
-
LO only naps in the car, so I drive. No other option
-
Chores and TV. It's the only time I can get anything done.
-
If it's the weekend and DH is home, I sleep. I'd I'm ever home on a weekday with LO, I clean up, do computer stuff, or tv.
-
D and I usually both nap on the weekends, but sometimes I go grocery shopping.
-
Chores mostly but right now she fell asleep in my lap so I'm watching Friends.
-
Today I napped. Usually, Saturdays I nap, and Sundays I get things done around the house, or bake, or watch TV with DH
-
Usually I nap! Sometimes we clean if we have a scheduled play date after naps and plan to have guests over.
-
I do some cleaning and work but mostly I eat lunch and relax. If it's a weekend sometimes my husband and I relax together and catch up on some shows.
-
Saturday's I try to nap or at least lay down. Sunday's I clean the bathrooms and then relax.
ETA: Until he was 20 months he would only nap on or beside me, so I napped, read or surfed the internet on my phone. Sometimes I miss those days.
-
She's in a phase where she only naps beside me and I'm 8w pregnant so I've been napping too. I used to relax with a book or work out.
-
I nap for his first one. Second one is a mix of housework and lounging.
-
I enjoy the peace and quiet.
when we can get him to nap in his crib, I usually shower or do chores really quickly because I know he will wake up in exactly 45 minutes... And then I have to hold him.
