What do you like to do when you have some 'kid-free' time? Do you try to squeeze in everyday stuff like cleaning and chores or do you treat yourself and go shopping, have a manicure/pedicure, or go out with friends, etc?

Amber68W · July 2010

The only 'mommy free' time I have is nap time. And usually then I do dishes and laundry. I'm looking forward to moving back to Ohio near DH's family then I'll have a babysitter and maybe I can have more 'kid free' time!

Depends. If I'm home and DS is napping I usually try to get chores done. Thursday night is my night out though, twice a month I have Toastmasters (for work) and the other two Thursdays are girls night.

When DH watches DS I usually go to Borders and indulge in a white chocolate mocha - whip cream? Yes please! - and I read the latest Cosmo and gossip mags. Occasionally I'll get a pedicure.

It depends on what I feel up for. And if we can afford in our budget for me to treat myself to something....I've done girls night out a couple of times....but I don't have a lot of female friends (or friends in general) since we moved.

I treat myself, but sometimes that's as simple as taking a nap! I don't usually sleep when DD's sleeps (naps). Or DH and I spend time together running errands, going out to eat. Sometimes I get a pedicure or shop or something. Just depends. it hardly ever consists of me being productive around the house though. =P

I read or I journal.

Depends on when this kid free time is... but usually it's filled with cleaning and chores and preparing for another day. After that, I just veg out on the couch and watch trashy tv

Usually I get kid free time in the evenings I will usually read or go to bed early.

I have a Bunko group that meets once a month. I volunteer through an organization and we have periodic meetings at night. I'm really involved in our church and occasionally have meetings at night/on the weekends. I like to read. I sometimes have dinner with friends. And B and I go on dates.

afternoon nap time (since my DD1 only takes 1 nap) = some cleaning/picking up, then I read or Bump or watch TV or work out... something calm and for me

if I get a babysitter (MIL) in the afternoons or something, I go shopping! Either grocery shopping (so much easier w/out kids!) or clothes shopping/browsing which is impossible to do with a (my) toddler/preschooler.

Evening babysitters = date night w/ DH.

Then I also go out once a week w/ my mom's group. Tonight is Mom's Night Out and we're getting drinks at a local hotel for their girls night. Once a month is book club, general meeting (fun topics/guest speakers of interest) and mom's night in (just hanging out at someone's house).

I NEED those evenings out for my sanity I'm a SAHM and I feel like a much better mom and wife if I can get out and do something for ME and me only Makes me feel like I'm still "me" and not just a "mom".

JstnJL · July 2010

A little bit of everything. If DS goe down for a nap, I get things done around the house. If he goes to my parents house, DH and I will go out on a date. Sometimes DH will keep DS and tell me to just go out and do whatever I want to. I usually hit the gym!
