[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've spent the last 8 years raising 2 kids and lately they have become so independent that I have a lot of time alone on the weekends while they go to friends' houses etc. I don't know what to do with myself, I have found that social media has sucked me in and I want to resist. What hobbies have you started as a 40-something? What do you do with a free day?[/quote] Well your kids are 8 and under. You're not done yet. Sorry. [/quote] There’s always one. :roll: Where did she say she was done? She said she has more downtime as they become independent. This right here is why moms feel guilt for doing anything for themselves. It’s normal and healthy for her to find other things to fulfill herself while her kids are doing other things. [/quote] Well when you've been immersed in it for 20 years and your youngest is a teen, it's different. No need to get so riled up. Kids 8 and under still need a lot of attention, logistics, etc. [/quote]
