Feel guilty for napping?

[SinkGirl]

DH is off work this week. I am not well at all and have gone for a lie down while the twins are napping and I feel so guilty - DH is downstairs twiddling his thumbs and we never get time alone together. I struggle to relax at all if I ever go for a daytime nap, it’s like when I had the kids my brain switched to high alert and I can’t turn it back off! Even if they were out of the house I’d still struggle. Am I the only one who feels like this? On the one hand I need a rest and a break, on the other I can’t relax and feel guilty!

No! Don't feel guilty! You need a break!

Thank you - I did have a couple of hours and do feel a bit better, just hard to switch off when there’s always so much to do!

Definitely not the only one. I used to be able to nap at the drop of a hat but have now completely lost the ability unless another adult is in the house. Hope you enjoyed it, you deserve it!
