How do you get 'me' time?
I haven't really had any in 6 months!!!!!!!! How do you get 'me' time? and if you're getting any how do you do it, what do you do, and how much time do you get? I've been having bits of time to myself when LO is asleep but in that time I do all the other jobs, is hoovering really 'me' time???? It doesn't feel like it. I've been thinking I need to schedule in me time every day but the days keep going past and I never have any. I suppose this is just how it is with a small baby or does anyone have a different experience?

I like to keep the house tidy but as DS is getting older it seems harder and harder to stay on top of things, toys or food seem to be flying around constantly lol!
however you manage it, try to keep a few minutes each day for you to take stock and relax....you deserve it

Do you have someone who can look after your LO? Don't be afraid to make use of them or even ask your OH. I think I'm fortunate that OH is around a lot and MIL is fantastic. Good luck and I hope it happens for you soon xx
My hubby is great he will take lo out for a walk while i have a bath and quite often takes him to the stable at the weekend so i get a lie in and my jobs done for me. Im hoping to start riding again in the next couple of weeks so oh will take baby for a walk while i ride.
Im really lucky oh realises how important my pony is to me and helps out loads he had to look after him 7 days a week when i was pg as i was that sick! I try to stay organised as well on the days i want to do something i make sure i have tea organised so its not a faff when we get in
I think it is pretty typical when you have kids for 'me time' to be pretty scarce!
My los will both be going to nursery 3 days a week from August which will give me time to set up my own business so that will be the most 'me time' I have had in years! xxx
