What do you do during naptime?

[jittabug]

Just that really, what do you do while baby naps (when at home).
I clean the house and watch tv, that's pretty much it. Looking for inspiration for hobbies I guess! I don't really have the room to do fitness videos and probably wouldn't have the will either 😂

I tidied and read, I tried to do knitting and crochet but ended up wanting to stab my self with the needles

i knit (doesn't make me want to stab myself) and watch tv. or i did until i got pregnant with number 2 and now I'm sick and exhausted and just sit there feeling sorry for myself. nap time used to be my haven.

Naps here tend to be short. Sometimes I drink coffee and surf mumsnet (it is naptime now!). I'll sort laundry, wash and sterilise bottles, or unload dishwasher. Reading with my feet up is my preference. Occasionally I might venture out to do a spot of gardening, but it's tricky with 30 minute naps. If I could get more consistent and predictable longer naps I'd get my acrylics out and paint! Perhaps I need to take up sketching which is a bit easier in a short time frame.

Do some housework, read and watch tv. Nothing exciting.

Usually jobs around the house but if not then I do writing as a hobby.

Do?

Hold him, because he wakes up if I put him down 🤦 So it's MNing and telly all the way!

Currently when DS naps I Watch tv, tidy, Hoover, surf the net, read.

When my DD napped I also completed my OU degree, did my Science GCSE & Forest School Leader training.

I'm hoping to find another course to do whilst DS naps to feel a bit more productive & work towards a new career.

Morning nap, I play with dc1 if shes not at nursery, and get some housework done or have a shower if shes out.

Afternoon nap, I sleep for an hour (nights are shocking!) If dc1 is home she plays with special naptime toys in the spare room, and then we play together once I can face the day again.

Naps? What are they? Oh that mythical thing called sleep 🤨
If that ever happens I go to sleep, even if it's for 5 mins. Given I was still walking the screamer at 1.30 am in pursuit of any form of sleep housework can wait!

I nap at the same time usually or have some food

I sleep , drink tea , or watch YouTube.

Take a shower during the first nap of the day, then rush around the house like a mad woman tidying because she rarely sleeps for long 😂😂

I mostly sit and eat biscuits and then feel guilty for just sitting and eating biscuits.

Sleep myself, or read

Sleep and /or housework
