Timeout for Mama

I decided to take a little time for myself last night and it was wonderful! DH plays soccer on Wednesday nights, so bath and bedtime is done by me only. I decided to "play soccer" on Thursday nights from now on.

I went to get my hair cut and then I sat at a bookstore for an hour to just relax and read. When I came back, DS was asleep and everything went well. :-)

Re: Timeout for Mama

  • Good for you Ricola!  My H has never done bedtime on his own (I do it regularly as he is a coach and misses bedtime on nights he has games/meets).

  • Ahhhh...it's the little things, huh? So nice to have some time on your own for a bit!

  • What a great idea!  DH plays softball on Wednesday nights, I might copy your plan!  Maybe I can find some gal pals to do a weekly get together.  For now it's hard for me to miss bedtime though because I'm still BF.  DH has had to do it himself twice now with pumped milk and it worked out fine, but I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis yet.  I guess I could do an hour on Saturdays or Sundays. :)  Thanks for the idea!

    I pump every night while DH gives DS his good night feeding in a bottle. That way we always have some milk in case we need it and I get a little break. DH likes it, because he feels like he can provide for DS, too. ;-)

  • Awesome! It really is the simplest things now that mean a lot. I love my time at the gym because it's become my little escape now. Hopefully you can make it a weekly thing.

    I'll do anything I can to avoid pumping!  I haaaate it!
