[quote=Anonymous]YES! I have always loved to be alone, even when I was a kid. But, of course, being a "good parent" means being engaged and attentive. Also, being a "good spouse" means making time together as a couple. And having work-from-the-office job means I spend my days interacting with coworkers and clients. So by the time I get through a day, I've basically only had my time in the shower to myself, and that's only if I get up early enough that my kids aren't awake yet. And, of course, I [i]want[/i] time with my kids and time with my spouse, so it feels like any time I take ALONE is necessarily being carved out of that family time that I also want. Hence, the guilt. But, then I get cranky during family time if I haven't gotten enough alone time, and nobody wants that. :lol: [/quote]
