[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You needed downtime from noon to 9pm without engaging your kid? That sounds weird, OP.[/quote] Maybe she needed that time to get work done? [/quote] NP. It was ONE DAY. It is FINE to have time to yourself, even that much, as a mom. Especially during a pandemic. Jeez.[/quote] I guess it’s just a weird dynamic to me. If I take 9 hours to lock myself in a room and watch Netflix, it feels hypocritical to care that other people are also doing nothing productive. But hey, to each his own. If I thought my family would leave me alone for any period of time at all, I’d take downtime too. [/quote] The point is that it is ONE DAY. Not every day. And...teach them to leave you alone. That’s a dynamic you are allowing. If you are fine with it, cool. If not, change it. I have no problem telling the folks that live in the house with me that I’m closed when I need some time to myself.[/quote]
