No mom should ever have to feel guilty about wanting just a little bit of time for herself but she does. Why? Probably because when our children come they are always our first priority so we feel guilty when we don’t want them with us. Truth is it isn’t that we don’t want them with us but we want to be us. You know that person hidden under the vomit, accident stains, unruly hair and no make up face. We want to chip off just a bit and see if it is really us that lays beneath it.

If you have a child and haven’t had the luxury of having a “time for yourself,” my suggestion to you is to do it. Tell the spouse you need to get out, even if it is only for an hour to go to the bookstore and do it. Don’t sit around waiting for it to happen, because before you know it time will pass. Sure you’ll be able to do it once they all start school but do you want to wait that long? The answer is no, yes, you’ll surely feel guilty but you’ll also get a renewed feeling. Trust me, you’ll make up for the time you’ve been away the moment you see your child.
