Mama Me Time: Be Alone in a House Full of People
If close quarters have you craving some quiet time, these ideas can help
Families have been spending more time together than ever this year. And we can all agree that’s a great thing, even if the circumstances that caused it really suck. But all this family time can leave moms craving some time to themselves.
Single moms especially might be feeling the pinch of loving time with their kids but needing a little me time.
But when we’re still being told we should try to stay home and stay away from people, getting that time to ourselves can be a little more difficult than usual. But it’s not impossible. You just need to get creative.
Obviously, these ideas may need to be tweaked a little, depending on the ages of your kids. But they’re all a great place to start.
Create “Family Quiet Time”
If your kids are still small enough to nap, then nap time has probably been a source of something resembling my time anyway. You keep the older kids quiet, do quiet activities, etc. Take it a step further by making it an official “Family Quiet Time” where everyone who doesn’t actually take a nap spreads out, finds a quiet space, and engages in their own quiet activities.
