Even though I know it's not ok. :-(
I am a great mom! I work my but off from 7am till 12pm. I babysit before and after school my children and other children. I get my dd fed and dressed for school after having done crafts, painting and errands. 12-1pm I clean my house spotless. My ds then goes for a nap.
At 3pm I pick up the kids from school. We come home, eat snacks, often bake cookies, play, and do more crafts. I make supper for my dh who comes home on time everyday. He bathes the kids while I clean up after supper and then the kids goto bed around 8pm. The dh and I snuggle on the couch and watch tv and every second night or so have sex.

What is the problem you may ask? I want my own life!!! Not my kids, not my dhs not my family's, I want my own life!
I want my SG to come around from 1-3pm, I want to have fun, I want to relax, enjoy....I am a great mom and wife the other 22 hours of the day...
I just want someone to tell me its ok!

I am a mom too and I feel for you. It is hard to always lead such a demanding life, always spread so thin. I don't think your wrong at all for not wanting to get lost in all that. Just becareful ! You sound like a great mom !

Hi Happy,
We all know the bottom line... that it really isn't ok... but really that's what society has led us to believe.

There's nothing wrong with wanting something of your own. Away from the pressure of family life. Just make sure that you both want the same as the other one & that he's offering what you think he's offering.
My late mother had Wednesday as her day. After we went to school, my mother would spend the day going to the library, shopping (for herself), visit an art gallery, have lunch with a girlfriend. I always remembered Wednesdays coming home from school, my mother was in the kitchen singing, happy and energized.
We all need a little "me" time. And those who love us, want us to be happy and do lovely things for ourselves.
Don't lose yourself by trying to be everything to everyone...then leaving nothing for yourself. Sending hugs.........
