Time to myself

I feel like I'm going crazy!
I don't get any time alone at any point of the day ever!
There's always someone there or someone talking to me, needing my attention to talk or to just be around.
I ended up having an argument with DH about this and he couldn't understand at all why I would need to be alone. I don't just want to be alone, I want to be completely in the house or somewhere all by myself. I don't want to talk or listen or be near anyone, I just want to be.
He now thinks something is up because I want to be alone.
I go back to work next week and life commences but that still means I have no alone time.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like this.

Because the dc are little and need attention? I quite like having time to myself and get it, so I think YANBU.

You’re not the only one, I think it’s common to yearn for some proper alone time as part of a busy lifestyle with much loved kids that seem to have internal magnets attracting them to sit on you or the constant requests for whatever. I crave it too. My DH understands this and will help me to make space and time for myself.

Today I went out, did some stuff I needed to them stopped grabbed a Starbucks to go and went a parked in a lay-by for an hour, and read my book with my coffee! 😂

For exactly the reason you have just posted about, it's just non bloody stop, and my DH work from home anyway, I run a business but it's me that gets the non stop talking at!!
