[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need space from Sig-O and kids in evenings.  We have a 9 y/o and 9 m/o.  Graphic designer that recently left work force to raise / breastfeed 9 m/o.  Still occasionally freelances.  I need a window during which I want to be left alone.  I have guilt over these feelings relative to my 9 y/o.  I'm looking for a thoughtful way to not hurt his feelings if I ask this.  I can help him occupy his time in the afternoons but he's RIGHT back in my face in five minutes if there's  iPad/tv/tech.  9 m/o is a whole NOTHER story obviously since she relies on me for milk.  I need like a rule...mommy's office hours have expired please get lost---type of thing.  Please type to me what has worked for you.[/quote]

Your 9 yo should be able to read/play/whatever alone. Do you think part of it is adjusting to new baby? Are the dads the same?

You need to give him some sort of uninterrupted attention, but then you can absolutely ask him to leave you alone.

Or you may just need to wait until they go to bed. Do you not get any time during the day? Does you baby not nap?[/quote]
