SAHM's: What do you do while LO naps?

thinkofthat · April 2010

I am totally wasting her naptime today.

WestCoastMommy · April 2010

dishes, laundry, pick up toy's, shop online. When it's sunny I take a mag and sit out back and eat lunch

Danyielv1 · April 2010

Since I have been PG, I nap when when naps.

kdiguise · April 2010

It all depends on how I'm feeling really. Some days I clean, some days I watch soaps (lol) and some days I take a nap, but only when I really need it. I feel bad napping when there are things to do around the house, but lately they've been necessary.

SInce my H is in school and Job Hunting he usually Puts in APps or does Homework, he also has 3 days a week that he sets aside to clean around the house, nothing major but he does the bathrrom one day, living room one day and the kitchen/DIning area another day. ANy major cleaning we do together on the weekends, because I feel like his job is to take care of DD, anything else he gets doen is a bonus.

He usually preps dinner during this time to, because he feels like I shouldn't have to come home and Cook, so I play with DD and do all of her night time care ( bath, Dinner, Etc) and he makes dinner, it is a nice trade off since I dont see DD all day and He loves to cook and calls it his break LOL

leslienpete · April 2010

clean, pick-up, laundry, eat my lunch, read, take a nap, get dinner prepped. lately i have been needing a nap. i think it is my allergies.

17Apes · April 2010

today - I'm going to nap during her nap. Normally, I clean, do laundry, eat lunch or catch up on my tv shows. But I'm exhausted..so today, I'll nap.

betsnup · April 2010

It depends on the day. Some days I waste it on the bump, and others I spend cleaning, doing laundry, etc. Oh, and now that Wes is here, on days when I have both boys at home, I try to sneak in a catnap (I usually get 15 minutes, if I'm lucky).

AngelaL · April 2010

I work from home, so I'm usually on the computer getting work done. If not, I'm doing laundry or cleaning.

kittylove · April 2010

Today: nap and then nest! I don't bother being productive durring nap, it is the only me-time I get some days. Plus he likes to help vacume and pick up.

snowinlv · April 2010

DD is still up 2-3 times a night, so I nap every day with her.

hewinked · April 2010

It depends. I always shower when she naps. Somedays, I clean up. Other days, I just lounge around. Since I'm pregnant now, I usually nap.

nickoletta100 · April 2010

Now in the third tri, I usually nest for a bit, watch tv and try to sleep for at least an hour.

MEJ2008 · April 2010

I eat. Other than that, it changes day to day depending on what I have to get done. Some days it's just a nap.

Bride2bMO · April 2010

Rock him. Embarrassing, but true.

We're working on it. He either screams for an hour alone in his crib (and doesn't ever fall asleep) while I try to block it out and get a few things done or I rock him and can't put him down because he wakes up and won't go back to sleep.

Don't ask me how we got here. But the next kid will NOT be rocked or nursed to sleep once he hits 4 months old, I can tell you that much.

So to answer your question, I sit on my iphone and bump or otherwise waste time while he sleeps in my lap.

Mrs.State746 · April 2010

I shower, get dressed, and do some cleaning. OR I work out and shower. He naps earlier than most kids. He takes a late morning nap and is up from 12-7:30 so I try to get it all in, in the AM.

eris1995 · April 2010

nothing productive - I'm either on-line, napping or watching tv.

not that you asked, but the inconsistency is not helping.

dh is sah, he normally naps. sometimes he does some housework.

pkate98 · April 2010

anything I can't do (in the house) while he's awake: take trash out, clean, nap, get on the computer

macchiatto · April 2010

I work very part-time from home, so I work, do housework, spend time online, prep dinner, clip coupons, plan out my bargain-shopping trips, or sometimes take a power nap. Usually I give myself 10-20 mins to relax right after I put them down ... sometimes that stretches into the whole naptime.

But usually I try to get a lot done during their naps.

1MusicMaker · April 2010

Since getting pg, I almost always nap.

Before that, I usually goofed off on the nest or picked up the house.

cactus5 · April 2010

I usually eat lunch, play around on the computer, and take a shower. I rarely nap (although I did when I was in first tri) or clean.

IckyThump · April 2010

I work out, clean, do chores that are difficult to do while DS is awake (i.e., cleaning the bathrooms). After that I relax and either read, watch a show I dvr'd or just goof around online. Today I'm vegging out on the couch because I'm trying to kick the nasty stomach bug I had all weekend.

fxz109 · April 2010

eat lunch, clean, bump, start dinner prep. Sometimes I'll run out to the store since DH WAH and can listen to the monitor and get her if need be. On rare occasions, I'll nap.

kabarbanel · April 2010

Depends on the day. Usually I have at least something that needs to be done around the house. Right now, I am sitting on the couch watching tv and playing online!

beryl2121 · April 2010

I'm in college so once i put the kids down for their nap i log on to my online classes..normally i can get all my school work done in an hour and my kids nap for about 2 so i'll spend the 2nd hour messing around on the computer and/or folding some laundry & picking up a little.
