To NOT feel guilty for doi g nothing while my dcs nap?

[HelloBear]

sat here as my DC sleep, looking around at the chaos that is our home. There is a long list of jobs I should be doing while they are down instead i am having a cuppa and doing nout.

AIBU????

This is why I do not have a shown home type house isn't it?

But I'm soooo tiered, baby refusing to sleep. I add this to explain my utter laziness.

Oh the guilt!!!!

Doing!

YANBU, this is what I do if I'm ever feeling really rebellious...

Nah, I don't think YABU. Of course, it sort of depends how long baby naps for, it's not like you get a lunch/ coffee break any other time.

Why is it rebellious or guilt-inducing to take a break? Kick back and relax!

But you are doing something,

You are philosophising to a world wide audience as to the peer lead judgemental implications of not tackling household chores.

Crucial work, get a research grant,

I would be glad to donate some of my previous finding on the subject.

While ds napped today, I got in dds bed across the hall and fell asleep. It was great.

I'm currently doing the same while DD is asleep. Yes there is wet washing in the basket and the dishwasher needs emptying, but sometimes I need to stare at the wall in silence for a while. Oh, and stare at my ipad.

I did that yesterday, all day, it was fantastic

I usually sleep on the sofa/mumsnet/catch up on crap TV while DS naps. I'm entitled to a break every 4 hours at work after all...

quote - superb idea, I now see that my professional arse sitting is in fact worthy research to make the world a better place.

nef Sleeeeepppppp, lovely cudderly Sleeeeepppppp

I would like to add to quote 's post: you are also recharging which is the choice of a responsible care giver looking to provide the best and most energetic care for LOs.

I love doing nothing when my son naps. And he's getting ready to drop the nap. sob

I nap and MN and play on the computer. DH gets a lunch break and his day is only 8-9 hours long at work. I looked after DD and WOH from 6.30am-9pm yesterday. I say NAP.

Your only BU If you don't have too. Enjoy it.

Argh 'you're' not 'your'

tee ds is getting to that point too

I seem to have it all wrong :) I did nothing while ds napped but when he woke I started to clean up. Have sorted through all his clothes, tidied my room, and did a crap general clean downstairs.

We are currently sitting on sofa watching suits :)

Just put some stuff in recycling bin, feel less guilty now. Must wake DD otherwise she will never go down tonight....goodbye peace.

I never felt guilty for doing nothing when DS had a nap! That was my rest time!

Do the jobs while they're awake, then they can "help" and you can feel smug that they are learning how to do it so that they will be good independent adults one day

Me too dear! Your not alone! Can I use the use the excuse, because they are in school too!

When ds used to nap so did I!
