[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please give me tips! I'm staying home with my difficult 9 month old and I feel like I get nothing done. I want to start going to the gym for an hour every day. I finally found a childcare provider who is good with him. My son wakes up at 6 am and then goes back to sleep until 10 am. Most of the baby classes are all starting around this time so I haven't been going. [/quote]

You are a stay at home mom and you have childcare? Are you kidding me? [/quote]

Not OP, I am a SAHM have a nanny and housekeeper. Your head must be exploding.  My DH travels for work and I need time for me. If you WOH you get the chance to take a lunch break and have alone time when you are commuting. Don't judge, your life is not anyone else's.[/quote]

I used to feel the way you do when I was a SAHM.  Then I went back to work.  I now spend my commute to and from work on the phone making dr appointments, fixing insurance crap, etc.  I eat lunch at my desk while I'm working, so I can leave a little early to get to the store (maybe) and get home in time to pick up my kids from their after school activities, take them to soccer or whatever if they have it, somehow figuring out when I'm going to cook dinner and what time we might have it.  When we finally get home, we eat, they do homework while I clean the kitchen, pack lunches, get showers, get ready for the next day, gets kids in bed, pay bills, do laundry... maybe fall in bed by 11pm.

So, no, I don't have alone time that is in any way ALONE.  I've never worked harder than I do now as a working mother.  You are clueless.  And you will continue to be until you have been a working mother WITHOUT a nanny or housekeeper.  [/quote]
