Mum guilt

It’s absolutely not child neglect, you need time to recharge yourself! I done the same a few weeks ago, I felt guilty when dropping little girl off at nursery and for the first hour when I was having a coffee myself but then it passed as I started to think about what I wanted to do. Try and be kind to yourself, we all need these recharge breaks when we can get them x

This is very healthy!! Don’t ever feel bad about taking time to look after yourself. Your baby will be at nursery being looked after in the ideal setting, not home alone and fending for himself! Hope you manage to switch off and recharge ✨

100% take the days to yourself!!

This is exactly what I’m planning to do in the October half term whilst my little girl is in nursery. I need time to organise, recharge and have some me time. Please don’t feel guilty, you need this time xx

I work only 4 days a week but sent my child to nursery 5 days a week. There was a massive mum s guilt at first but I need that day to sleep, recharge, do some sport, go to my medical appointment etc. When I fell like it I pick her up early from nursery.... but It is totally worth it to have me time

Absolutely take the day to yourself. I've had annual leave and had a day alone just to get on top of things and get my nails done! Sometimes we just need to feel a bit more like ourselves so we can care for our little families. Take the time. Sounds like you're a fantastic mum xxx

TAKE THE DAY! I've done this as I've been burned out to the max and needed that time for myself. You will be better for it, which in turn then affects your baby positively as you've had that break 😊

Take the day! I had the day to myself yesterday and I managed to sit down with a hot coffee and have a lovely hair wash 🤣I then spent the rest of the day tidying her playroom and catching up on washing but feel so much better for it! xxx

I love this for you!!! Take the break!!! 🌟

Nah fuck that love mum guilt can go in the bin. My oldest has a hospital appt this afternoon. I took the day off work but I yeeted all 3 of mine into nursery because I am paying a damn fortune for it and I'm sat her eating a fresh pastry with a hot coffee while I chill and clean in PEACE! Take your days and enjoy the calm, batteries need recharging.

STOP! Think of it this way…looking after yourself, your mood, your mental health, your body, is the BEST way you can look after your boy. You deserve a break! In the past mothers never raised children alone, they got breaks all the time. We live in literally the most demanding time on mothers in history! Take that break!

That sounds like the perfect plan! I’m a full time mum and I don’t get a break other than when my husband takes our son for a couple hours on a Sunday and I pretty much just clean the house 😂 I’m 31 weeks pregnant too and would love the option to have a whole day to myself, which I feel awful saying but equally we all need a recharge every so often! So treat yourself and if you want to you can pick your little one up early 😌

Thank you all!!! Gonna take the days to myself ☺️☺️

I literally did this this week for one day. I Hadn’t had more than an hour to myself in months and it was much needed. I ended up feeling a bit under the weather so just had a chilled day at home but I felt so much better for it! As they say, you can’t fill from an empty cup. I didn’t feel guilty as my little one loves nursery and didn’t know any different to my usual work day. Go for it mama!

I’ve booked a day annual leave in November for exactly this! I’m gonna drop her off, and then enjoy a baby free day! Definitely take the day.

I wouls do 1 day you 1 day baby. Then you get your rest ans then a nice day together. Your entitled to you time as well. I send mine in to nursery and have a few hours to myself x

Take the days for you mama!

Really and truly, I resonate with what you’re saying. I worked full-time with my little guy at home with me since he was 5 months old and now when he’s at nursery, I LOVE those days where I can do something for myself, entirely guilt-free knowing he’s having fun and being taken care of. Genuinely recharges you to have some alone time so when you go and pick your baby up, you feel rejuvenated to take on the challenges of motherhood and being a partner. Enjoy your time!
