I'm guilty...

MrsBraunMrsBraun
in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
of doing NOTHING when DD sleeps. Literally nothing. I have sat here on TB and FB for two hours straight. Wow do I feel like a loser. Just thought I would share that...so any of you efficient people would feel even better about yourselves, lol

    lol you're not alone! DD napped for 2 hours this afternoon, the house is a mess and I tried to nap (couldn't fall asleep) and then was on the computer for the remainder of the time! I guess I will have to clean tonight! lol

    Same here, I couldn't even do THAT, haha. Oh well, DD is up now (I think) so she will save me from my self-destruction :S

    I was doing the same thing, but less than an hour into the nap, I heard him cry a little. I got up and listened. He got quiet, so I thought I'd the laundry and loading the dish washer before he really woke up. He's still sleeping....  I feel a little more accomplished, but usually I just sit here on the computer.

    I am guilty of this too.  Frequently.

    Don't beat yourself up.  Some folks read books, some plant flowers, others do laundry.  I graze the internet.

    I generally read everyday while DD1 naps. It's often the only "me" time I get so I savor every last minute of it!

    I'm a teacher and am now back to school during the week. On weekends, when DD naps, I spend the entire time watching TV with DH, on the internet or reading. There are things that need to be done around the house, but I typically do those while DD is awake and DH is playing with her, or in the evening during the first hour that DD is asleep. I enjoy having the break during the day on the weekends.

    I rarely do anything when he naps. :) he's napping now and i just woke up from a nap. DH is at a friends house and dS destroyed it before we went to the pool at said friends apartment complex. His nap time is my time.

    You are NOT doing nothing!  You are recharging for when the ball of energy gets up!

    Same here. Sometimes I nap, but I never know if DD will nap for 45 minutes or 2 hours. So if I don't lay down as soon as I put her down, I play on the computer until she wakes up.

    I do what I can when she is awake and play on the computer for a little while she is napping.  I get bored just watching her play and run around.  I try to sit and play with her but she gets up and moves to go somewhere else so I do the dishes and other things while she is awake and save the bigger stuff for while she napping (between bumping) & at bed time.

    You are not alone! All summer I did that on purpose. It was my "me time" to do whatever I wanted and not feel guilty. Usually I watched trash t.v. or played a video game (I really like Mario Bros & Zelda LOL)

    I can get stuff done (sometimes) when she's awake or when DH is home to watch her, but I can't really "veg out" while she's awake!
