to not want to be a Mum sometimes and just stay in bed all day?

[pgwithnumber3]

feel really ill today, DD1 started new school so been stressed over that and DD2 not very well either so life has been that bit more eventful.

AIBU to want to feck off somewhere on my own?

Not unreasonable

I don't think that I fully appreciated my "me time" before the arrival of my DD (nearly 8 months)

I would like a weekend with my DH with her safely looked after at my parents .. !! I keep asking ....

I just want to lie in bed, have a swim, lie in bed, eat, lie in bed, read a book and lie in bed!

I wish I could to do things, go to places and get things and be with people that are always not linked to motherhood/being a mum!

Well it's actually unhealthy for you to have no time to yourself. IF you are a single parent with an XP who is uncontactable or vile, then it's more of a hassle, but if you live with a partner then he should be in sole charge of the DC for at least 3 hours per week which you should not spend on fecking housework, but on doing something that is solely for your benefit, even if it's just sitting in McDonalds with a fruit shoot and a porn mag.

lol
no botox yet.
bit spotty, and few more 'fine lines' than a couple of years back... but im alive! and im even vaguely sane!
like i say... accept all the help on offer... and if theres none on offer, demand it.

I grossly under appreciated my "me time" prior to having children.

My "me time" since having children, is stealing time to get an hour or so of(interupted) posting on mumsnet!

I grossly under estimated just how litle sleep I'll have and that I have virtually no time to myself. I expected the broken nights for the first year or so, but no one warned me of the very early daily wake up calls, that go on for years, rather than months.

No one warned me that weekend mornings will be like any other weekday morning. In fact, my children seem to be keener to wake up early in the weekends than school/nursery days!

Ooh let me think....

I'd like to be able to go to the loo without feeling the fear that my kids may trash my house/kill each other while im in there.

I'd love to have one bath without a child wanting a drink/food/cuddle/chat.

I'd like to be ill and not have to prise myself off the sofa, still spewing up, to look after two kids.

I'd like to be able to nip down the shop to get some milk without it being a 45 minute journey.

I'd like to have the time to chat to random men.

I'd like to have one day when I didn't feel totally knackered.

YANBU

Guess it wont happen any time soon though

I regularly want to call in sick...
I want a duvet day
I want to pay £19.99 to stay in a travel lodge overnight on my own.

If I go missing I will be living in a stone building on a scottish island with no phone.

I guess for a while I don't want anyone to want me iykwim..

good to read this thread and know I am not alone

I was bored before I had children though, work was awful, I used to come home at night, go the gym then tidy up the house and make tea, same old routine.

With children, yes I am far more tired and busy and NEVER sit down (except on Mumsnet!) but when I do, one day, get a bit of me time, I will use it wisely. I have met some lovely friends who have children the same age and have I a good laugh with.

I never appreciated my time before I had kids but who does? You really have no idea about what is around the corner pre-children!
