time for a break......

i hate bitching and moaning about the same thing over and over, but i can't help it lol. i need to get out of the house, i'm sick of being stuck here, mommy needs some "me time" lol. i wish i had the guts to just ask the hubs or someone i trust to watch babygirl for a bit so i could go out and have a little fun, but i feel guilty about doing that. i feel as though, she's my kid, i had her, so i should take care of her.

is it really so selfish to wish for some "me time"? even if it was just to go to a book store for a little bit or get a drink with a friend or something, ANYTHING but this captivity lol.

arggggggg

No way!!! If you want to stay sane....get out and get out now!!! I like you have a beautiful little girl..and at first it was very hard leaving her...but i realized I am better when I get some "me time" my sisters have gave me refuge with a weekly movie trip with just us sisters...no kids no husbands....we go to dinner and have a drink to...I also have some friend that watch my DD so me and  hubby can go out once a month...(they are expecting right now and we will do the same for them) I want to keep my marriage strong and my mind sane..."me time" is matience...and is required for most...don't feel guilty...your DH will reap the benefits of a happy....re-energized mommy!!

absolutely don't feel guilty.  Everyone of us need "me" time and those that say they don't probably have already lost thier minds lol.  Its good for you to get out and have some time for yourself, i know if i don't I get fustrated and irritated really easy so sometimes and hour or 2 out of the house settles it and all is good.

You should defiantley go out and get yourself some Me time. If you dont, you'll get burnt out and then that's not good for you or baby.

Yes, I feel your pain.  I have been a sahm for damn near 12 years.  I have had a few jobs in those years and went to college but you know, when I was working...guess where I wanted to be?  Yep, at home with the babies! 

Just lately, having Dubbie and a 10 year gap between him and Brynn, I still find myself wishing I could go grab a drink with a friend or going shopping, or like you said a book store to have 'you time' and I know it is doable, I just put it on the calendar and do it.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting and needing a break.  I had Syd and Brynn so close together that I damn near lost my mind b/c I had the same thoughts as you, they are mine, I had them and I AM supposed to take care of them.  BUT I will honest, that kind of thinking will leave you burnt out and bitter.  So Mama, ask hubby to take a shift off your hands one night and go have some you time.  Just plan something fun, put it on the calendar, tell hubby these are your plans and doooooooo ittttttttt!  This time around with Dubbie, I have vowed not to be held captive!  But I totally understand what you are going thru!
