What do you miss most?

From your pre- mom life, what do you miss most?

hlm184 · October 2014

Sleep. So much that.

christinanoelle · October 2014

I miss being able to run little errands quickly! Going to the bank, stopping for milk at the grocery store - they all seem so much more complicated with a baby.

UnofficiallyLO · October 2014

I voted something else because I don't miss my old life much but sometimes the constant feeling of being in charge of a little human life can be overwhelming and he's my world now. The other day SO took LO with him to watch football practice and I was at home thinking about lightening strikes and bad drivers instead of taking a nap or painting my nails, hello!

christinanoelle · October 2014

@UnofficiallyLO‌ I have worry so much more now!! I went out for girls night and we took a cab and he took a short cut through an alley and I immediately thought we were going to be kidnapped or worst! Having a baby has definitely made me more paranoid..

I miss alone time with DH without being exhausted or worrying about the baby.

This.

I miss just hopping in the car and going somewhere. Now I can't go anywhere without the diaper bag, car seat, usually the stroller...

juniper75 · October 2014

Free time. Its never the same after kids. Even when you get some you will have a list of things to accomplish in that time slot. Everything happens on a schedule now forever - even dinner with friends - or a long phone chat with someone you miss.

Money + free time + non-blobby stomach

ambarnett1 · October 2014

Definitely free time. I don't know who I am anymore and I don't have time to do anything I like.

strawberrytree · October 2014

I miss just having to think of myself. Now I have to plan my life around naptime and trips to the potty. Now, even if I get an hour to myself here and there, they're always in the back of my mind.

speechie517 · October 2014

I also miss the quick trips to run around town or just being able to go do random things.

ksulli · October 2014

I said sleep, which is true, but related to that is energy. Now if I have an hour and the house is already clean, errands run, etc.(like that ever happens) I collapse. I wish I could use that time to work out- I really want to start boxing and have the gloves & heavy bag ready to go, but just can't get back on my feet if I don't HAVE to.

lokimau · October 2014

I said money. I used to make more than DH. Now adjusting to being a SAHM is harder because he had always made less. If we hadn't decided to breastfeed, we considering him being a SAHD. Still not opposed to that in a year or two. For now we live with he inlaws so bills are lower. But I miss shopping, going to lunch, pedicures. Yes I miss my figure too but I feel if we had the money I could reactivate my gym membership. #firstworldproblems

chichi589 · October 2014

I miss quick trips to the grocery store and doing things without mom guilt. Like running to target after work so I can go myself but then feeling bad about not being with him after not being home all day

And sleeping in on my days off. I miss bedrest why did I hate it so much?!?

christinanoelle · October 2014

@MaiTaiBeth‌ I know it's not the same thing but what about doing it at home? I say that but I've been trying to motivate myself to do Sophia at home for the last four months

ETA yoga - not Sophia! Autocorrect fail but I'm leaving it since it's funny

kmos816 · October 2014

I said money- as our annual trips will be no more :-(
Like maitaibeth I also miss Zumba and working out in general. I just can't justify my hour Zumba class plus the time it takes to get to the gym and back

JessieAlbin · October 2014

I said my figure, but really I mean my body in more ways than just being thinner. I miss not hurting all the time, and feeling strong and physically capable. It's been since before pregnancy that I felt able to even just go for a run if I wanted to, or just have a day when I could pop out of bed and do whatever! Just one day of activity without pain would be great.

dmosquera4 · October 2014

Sleeeeep it was my hobby before... Lol I misssss just watching tv and falling asleep

cd92007 · October 2014

It's a tie between free time and sleep.

SoulTermination · October 2014

Free time for sure. I miss reading, playing video games, learning crafty things, working on developing my photography skills, the Billion Graves project...

JamiesWife2010 · October 2014

After 2 kids, I totally miss my nice perky C cup boobs!

Xxlilies · October 2014

I voted my figure but I really can't decide betwen that and Free time

Bluebird2318 · October 2014

Nothing, really. I would say my free time, except that when I had it I squandered it on pointless things. After having kids I definitely have less free time, but I feel like at least some of it is spent doing worthwhile things.

Talltrees82 · October 2014

My spotless house.
Hahaha, who am I kidding, I've never had a spotless house!

Definitely miss free time. And I thought I had a blobby stomach before I got pregnant. If I only knew! And could put down the cheesies!

bmayora · October 2014

I miss not having a to-do list running through my brain 24/7. Also miss not having such a wide ass and jiggly stomach.

bmayora · October 2014

I miss the days when I liked DH and thought he was really funny. Now he's just annoying.

Trgree1712 · October 2014

I miss the weekend fun with my husband. Don't get me wrong we still have fun now with the baby it's just so different. Before baby it was so much more carefree.

BeckyF82 · October 2014

I miss the free time with DH. Going to a nice restaurant and getting insanely drunk, sitting in our pyjamas watching films, playing board games, having lazy afternoon naps on weekends... Now one of us is always holding / etching the baby and we're both effin knackered.

BuggasMom · October 2014

My figure & body for sure! I love to shop! I miss being able to go shopping and loving everything I put on. now a days I have to shop to cover my c sec "shelf" bathing suits to cover the stretch marks and let's not even start with fitting back into jeans it's just not as fun.

Jodash24 · October 2014

Sleep, I've always been an 11pm -7am sleeper, lo wakes twice every night I would just love sleep, also time with my partner, I can't remember the last time we had a full conversation without interruption, or even a cuddle on the sofa with a film.... I miss him

zazu13 · October 2014

Even though mine STTN, I still miss 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep without waking to pee, check on the girls or staying up late to do things I cant do when they are awake. Sleeping in. How I miss thee... Let me count the ways.

emilyann64 · October 2014

I definitely miss my figure, even though it wasn't the best before baby.

Isn't it funny when you look at pictures of yourself before having a baby and think how wonderful you looked, even though you didn't appreciate it then?

My husband loves my new larger boobies, but man I wish I could stuff them into some of my pre-pregnancy clothes! Sad
