[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are very introverted and SAH with young children, how do you get your me time? I know I may get criticized for this, but I SAH with a three year old who just started morning daycare twice a week 9-12, and I still feel like I do not get time alone. A trip to Costco is an entire morning daycare time, and if I run errands or have medical appointments (I’ve had many lately), it’s still a 20min drive to pick up at daycare and that’s basically all my time alone. DH comes home from work and naturally wants to hang out, but I’m having a hard time with putting DS down at 8:30, and balancing doing evening chores, having time with DH, unwinding alone, and still going to bed at a reasonable time. How do you do it? [/quote]

I'm a mom with teens and I wish someone had told me what I'm about to tell you:  When your kid is in daycare, use it as your alone time and read, nap, eat chocolate.  Then, go to Costco with your kid.

Some things yes you will have to do alone (doctor's appts) but really, just take your kid to as much stuff as you can. And do the housework when the kid is at home, preferably awake--again, when s/he naps, don't empty that dishwasher, go nap or read a book.  You must priortize this, OP[/quote]
