To take an hour off?

[FleeBee]

AIBU to doss for an hour during the day. I have 2 DC aged 21 months and nearly 5 months. They both usually have a nap in the afternoon and I've recently got them to co-incide so I get a peaceful hour. In which I lie sit on the sofa, watch some rubbish telly, mess on the internet or chat to mum (or friend) on the phone.

DH reckons that hour should be put to use of houswork and he's calling me lazy. (Which is true, but it's not something I like to hear!!) I know that there is ironing, hoovering, dusting blah blah to be done, but I can't face it and my hour off means I can recharge and face the afternoon with my DC.

Should I pull my lazy finger out and get motivated??? (I know he has a lunch hour at work grrrr!!)

He's a cheeky bastard. Give him a hard slap from me

YANBU.

But you could make up for your wicked laziness by catching up during the evenings.

For instance, you could dust the telly during his favourite programme, hoover the floor in front of the telly during his favourite programme, move the sofa to clean under it during his favourite programme.

Or there's the ironing in front of -guess what.

If he's not a telly lover most of these chores can be shifted to the appropriate place. Do make sure you huff and puff a lot and wipe your brow too.

Or you could just knee him in the privates.

Blimey. My DH is a great supporter of nap while the baby/child is napping. If our three year old DS2 falls asleep at the weekend my DH races me to the bed to see who can grab the parent-nap first!

yanbu at all! Tell him to pick up the hoover himself. I have a son aged 13 months and am 18 weeks pregnant with number 2 and I do exactly the same as you and feel so exhausted if I don't. Of course there will always be a million and one things you could should be doing in that hour but when isn't there. My Dh seems to imply that I don't do enough all the time, I'm sure they think we just sit at home all day watching crappy daytime tv (looking after children obviously isn't work . You put your feet up when you need to, being a mum is hard work and you need time off too

i might add my DH tries to make me sleep during their nap cos it increase his chances of getting some..

today i MNed instead
