There should be no guilt in that. Stop polishing your martyr badge, and guiltlessly enjoy your break. [/quote]

Wow...that escalated quickly. Did you really just say "martyr badge"? Calm down. --NP[/quote]

Sorry. I'm so ragey lately. I want us women to stop feeling bad about taking care of ourselves. Now if she'd said, "After a long day at work, taking 15 minutes in my bedroom to smoke a joint and sex up the manny before I start the second shift at home," that would be a secret pleasure worthy of guilt.[/quote]

When I was a sahm and dh came home and wanted 15 minutes to "unwind" after 25 minutes in the car with nobody screaming at him, listening to his own music, nobody asking for snacks or hitting their sibling--I admit I was ragey about that. Because once he finished unwinding and got with the kids, I went to cook dinner. And during my kids naps (which rarely overlapped, by the way), I was trying to do my very very part time consulting hours, or fold laundry, dishes, etc.

Now that my kids are older and I'm back at work, that 15 minutes for someone to unwind while nanny is still there is not big deal to me, but tell that to me 8 years ago and I would have gone postal on you :([/quote]
