Me time .. whats the time? - Real Mum story on MoM

10 Comments

I have read a lot of posts on MOM and other sites, and listened to journalist, therapies and mothers … They are all talking about the importance of Mums having Me time! Making time to relax and be kind to ourselves. Now don’t get me wrong, I agree we all need to do this….. but it comes with Guilt. Me time = Guilt. My Husband is a hard worker and helps out at home, I have no complaints with him. But when he goes to play Golf…. He ‘Plays Golf’.. If I played golf it would be called Me Time?????

Once every two months my Me Time is to go out with the mums in my mothers group for Me time for dinner. Its not that often as i am a stay at home mum so thats all i can afford. Its not to much to ask for a little sanity time for you.

Yeah, I know. It’s a real struggle, and one of those areas where men seem to have got it “right” quite effortlessly!

It’s whatever time you want to call it! Me going to work is my me time. I enjoy my work and it takes me away from the family for a bit.

Lol, it is so true, I have “Me time” in the bath once a week, I take in my book and soak for longer than is appropriate, but I have learnt over the years that as much guilt as I feel, I would feel more guilt if I didn’t have “me time” as I would be stressed and yell at the kids more….

It does come with guilt. I get me time in the shower sometimes. My husband gets to have a shower
