The first time I went out without Ezra I blasted the music! No worrying it was going to hurt his ears. It was awesome!
Oh yeah, that's my other me time delight- bumping the hip hop in the car without worrying that my son is gonna start spouting lil Wayne lyrics.
Dh and I listen to a lot of hard core rap. Guess we have to find something else to listen to if we don't want Harper to have a potty mouth!
Yeah us too... You have a little window of time for now, my son is 2.5, incredibly verbal and can sing all of the lyrics to basically any song he's heard 3 times (current fave is Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash), but somehow the lyrics in rap don't catch his attention as much- maybe they're too fast or something? I've never heard him repeat anything from a rap song, and my husband still plays it in the house or car on a fairly regular basis. I figure we've got another 6 months or so before he starts asking very uncomfortable questions about they lyrical content and hopefully at that point my husband will get the picture.

Thank God. My friend has a 6 month old and ever since I met her about 3 months ago when we first got to VA I just wanna rip my hair out every time I'm in her house or her car. All she listens to are children's songs...like the kids bop of children's songs...where little 5 year olds are singing Old McDonald and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She also refuses to watch any "adult" tv around her child and since the tv is on all day she keeps children's movies on the tv. The kid is 6 months old...you CAN listen to your own music and quite frankly you should, at least every now and then...because sanity is good and you'll have plenty of time for your kid to ask you to put the last song on repeat over. And over. And over. Same with movies.
@bkjade yep exactly. I could also start an entire thread on inconvenient sh$t I never noticed until I became a parent. For example: that dip in the curb which allows people in wheelchairs and people with strollers to get up on the sidewalk. Everyone seems to crowd around it when they were walking and won't let you get past when you have a stroller. Even though they can just step up onto the sidewalk and I need that dip in order to get my stroller up onto the sidewalk. Or places without ramps. Or needing to find elevators instead of escalators. All things I don't have to worry about when I'm out alone, jaywalking by myself.
THIS! I live in a city and this drives me crazy on a daily basis. And never even realized it before kids.
Re: What do you do for "me" time?
It was so fun to watch my toddler as a baby dance to rap though
