AIBU to have a proper lazy sunday?

Im a teacher and have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Dh works shifts and i do most of the childcare and housework.

I broke up for Easter a week ago but we went away on holiday last Monday so the weekend was spent packing and cleaning.

Holiday was fab but exhausting with two non-stop little ones and yesterday i spent the morning unpacking and washing then took the children out for the afternoon. Dh stayed home and de-cluttered the spare room ready to decorate (and im sure had an hour or two playing computer games!).

Dh is off for the next 3 days and ive already made plans to catch up with friends with the children so today I've retreated to bed and am bingewatching Netflix leaving DH in charge of the small ones. Ive instructed him to call in to the local pub and bring home takeaway sunday dinners too.

It feels blissful, but i also feel guilty. Like i should be tackling the ironing pile or sorting out the bags of baby clothes ive been meaning to get rid of for months.

Please reassure me its ok to have a totally lazy day that's all about nothing but relaxing??

(Also... any good netflix recommendations? Currently watching "the silence". Its quite good but similar to "a quiet place" which i enjoyed more).

Definitely don’t feel guilty! Enjoy your time to yourself.

You shouldn't need reassurance.

You're an adult, it's ok to make your own decisions and stick with them.

Enjoy your day.

Sounds blissful! Take care of yourself so you have enough in the tank to enjoy the rest of the holidays.

Dh now home with the kids.. is less relaxing hearing them causing havoc downstairs.

Dh now suggesting we go look at new showers as ours needs replacing. Ive told him we can go tomorrow as I'm supposed to be relaxing. Angry

We all need lazy days once in a while to recharge, think of yourself as low on battery - you can’t always be at full charge and working at full power, you need to rest and get that power back up.

Balance is everything, but don’t feel guilty about occasionally needing to have a day of nothing.
