I was alone with the kids all day and night for 3 days and I needed 20 minutes to myself to unwind. So while the baby was napping, I told my toddler (2.5 years old) to play in his room while I took a shower. I turned his tv on, and he has books and toys, and it's completely babyproofed. I closed the door and sat on the counch and drank a pop and made a phone call and regrouped. Is that a bad thing to do? Have you ever done it? I feel pretty guilty about it.pop=diet pepsi btw

I need a break every frickin' day.My daughter will be 2 on Sunday and she's the spawn of Satan.I work from home so I NEVER get time away from her except when she naps.... which isn't long enough.One day at a time, is what I tell myself.

yes, everyone needs a break sometimes, only if its 10 minutes. Sometimes the constant business of a child can be stressful to a parent. Maybe once a week or every week you can arrange for a baby sitter so you can have self time to relax or do adult activites
