The bummer is that there are days where I don't have any 'me' time until my husband gets home from work. At scheduled playdates I look forward to on adult conversations with other moms, despite the constant interruptions. Listening to my music on my ipod is also fun if I do have an alone day at the park with no playdate. However, it is totally okay to let your child entertain yourself while you read a magazine, or check email, etc.. They do need to learn to do that. Having some ‘me’ time before nightfall is starting to get easier the older she gets, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I just started reading “Parenting an Only Child” by Susan Newman to help with my occasional bouts of guilt, but overall, I do feel that have just one child is the right choice for me. Hope this helps.Mom from the D!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05220213261123518228noreply@blogger.com
