Bedtime= Mummy time

Silver_Lilly

I am a stay at home mum with a two year old.When she goes to bed i feel it is my time and pour a glass of wine when i am making dinner.
Does any one else do this?

I would think you're doing the exactly the same as Mums (parents?) up and down the country! I'm a SAHM to 4-year-old twins and a 2-year-old girl too, so I'll raise my glass to you later (about 7.30 pm) ...

Yep same here.

C'mon guys, a glass??!! More like a bottle for me!!! I'm not a SAHM (work p/t) but I still do this on occasions, more so at the weekends, but if I fancy it during the week, then I still do.

It's just nice to chill out, & not here the word 'mummy' for a few hours sometimes!

:rotfl: :beer:

I would say having a glass of something of an evening after a hard day looking after the kids is normal

looking after a 2 yr old is hard work !

It's perfectly normal......as the children get older though you might find the time at which the wine starts gets earlier!!!

I'll now have a glass whilst I cook dinner and find most of my friends do too!

God Yes! Well, usually anyway. My husband is away at the mo so I've been refraining so that I'm on the best form I can be in the mornings (I am so not a morning person).

My daughter will be two next month and it's a constant battle right now. If I don't watch her constantly, she's into everything and there are spillages/breakages/chocolate wall murals. If I do watch her, the housework gets neglected and there's more chance of a mini-disaster as there's more stuff lying wround for her to damage :wall:

Can't win!

Teetotal - and so my 'me time' is a coffee and a good book after the kids have gone to bed - although as DD1 is that bit older - it seems to be getting later!!

Hell, I did this before I was pregnant, and I fully intend to return to my little pleasures as soon as I can after sproglet is born!

Everyone needs even just ten minutes a day which are "all about me" - my preference was a hot bubble bath, a good book and a large glass of red, ideally with chocolates within reach ...

I do this and really enjoy it, start slightly earlier on a Saturday - today we were at a kids birthday party and then came home where the kids were out playing in the garden so poured myself a drink then before I started cooking dinner - very relaxing!
