[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't your wife relax a bit/time to herself during toddler's nap time?[/quote]

NP, but she likely wants or feels the need to get out of the house. If you have a bad napper, ever moment of that nap is spent listening for when your kid is going to wake up. It’s not relaxing, and you don’t really feel like it’s time for you, because you’re still on duty/listening. You can’t even take a relaxed or prolonged shower because you feel like one ear has to be out “just in case”. It’s like telling someone to take a break at their work desk, and still need to answer all emails and phone calls, and calling it “time for yourself”.

I’m not a SAH, but I can appreciate how hard it is to be “on call” all time time, and be stuck in the same four walls, unless you bring your toddler out too. Depending on th toddler, it may even be a luxury for this woman to pee alone. Even a an hour alone once a week to go get a coffee and flip through a magazine BY HERSELF is so meaningful to feeling better about life. [/quote]
