Our jobs are never ending regardless. There's days where I would love to switch places with my boyfriend to see how he likes it. Thinking it's all easy. He thinks it's easy to put up with his b.s but when I want to express my frustrations he suddenly has a headache or is tired. He made comments on how I should get a babysitter if I want alone time or to get out of the house. But honestly I rather stay home and let my imagination take it's course. Eventually my baby will be in school and I'll have time for myself. Same goes for you. Eventually there'll be times where you can get all the rest you need and all the pampering as well. Patience is a virtue. Cherish every moment you have with your little one. I already know it'll kill me inside if I'm away from mine once he/she is out of the womb. But then again we do need breaks. Not because we don't want to be around them but because we deserve breaks from carrying them for 9 months inside along with countless sleepless nights of taking care of their needs. Truth be told we are just as fragile as our children. They need all the attention and care they can get so they can grow up healthy and happy. Same with us except we can take care of ourselves but we need the time. If we don't take care of ourselves then we won't be fully functional for our kids. Every day is a chore. Every move, every second of everything is chore. But it's all worth it.

@jerin, my mom watches Ganynn (my son) every Saturday night because she doesn't see him often and that's really the only time I get alone, well whenever my fiancé isn't up my ass too. Sometimes when he naps I just want to lay down and relax but I have chores and stuff. Oh the wonderful life of an adult

I'm on my first pregnancy. When it comes to privacy I have none. privacy left the door when I met my hubby. Dealing with a manchild and soon dealing with an actual child. It's going to be so peachy. That's why you gotta plan ahead. Be 10 steps ahead than where you already are. Time it perfectly so you can relax. I know I'm gonna need to do alot of that eventually. Every mom should be able to get a All Day Mom Time Only otherwise hell would break loose everywhere and the balance of life will be lost forever. Men think we're difficult to handle on our time of the month pffft they've seen nothing yet

@jerin, yes exactly! I never get privacy! My son is by my side from the time he wakes up till he goes to bed!

It's ok to have something all to yourself. It's not completely wishful thinking. It starts out with food then bathroom privacy. Then a long hot lavender bath all to yourself without interruption. It's alright. Hell I sneak food I bought from McDonald's around my hubby so he won't steal my food. Once in a while you can be selfish. 99% is all for the baby with your attention, company, money for clothes, food to eat. 1% is for yourself so you can do what you want that will make you relax and happy
