What does that question even mean?? To myself…. does that mean away from the kids and hubby and doing something that isn’t household related (shopping etc, studying/working etc) almost none. maybe an hour or 2 a week, if im lucky.
When the kids were small my husband always made sure I got a few hours on a Saturday or sunday morning he would take the kids to visit nan or go to the park etc.
It can be really hard to find ‘me time’ or justify it for that matter when there a million and one things to do! However, you should always make some time because it’s so important to your health and mentality. Even if it’s only half an hour to read a chapter of a book; do some sewing; or whatever hobby you may have …. work out the best time during the day when it is possible and chill out!
I don’t feel like I get very much at all. I work full time and am pretty much a sole parent to two children, one of which is at school and I am on every committee/volunteer group you can think there. I get my Mum to watch them every so often so I can catch up with friends for a wine and dinner.
Some weeks seem easier than others and time is managed well and can sneak in plenty of time for myself. Other times busy schedule, unwell kids, work commitments can be hard. I think it’s all about making time for yourself and reaching out and asking for help. You need to put time aside for yourself, whether it be a bath or shower in peace, reading a book, hot cup of coffee, just something to enjoy remember to put yourself first too.
