After kids, all of my time was accounted for and I had to make appointments (babysitters) to have time to myself.
This was really, really hard.
+1, same here. It feels like I have to ask for permission, either from my DH so that he can be home from work so that I can do things, or from my mom- she watches DC, a lot.
