How do you enjoy your child free time?

So I’m in a bit of a rut lately and it’s making me depressed. My partner and I are arguing more and I think it’s because I’m spending way too much time with him at home at weekends. We can’t afford to go for days out at the moment but I really need time away from the day to day stuff. The problem is he offers to take our LO out or suggest I go out but when it comes to it I just don’t bother or feel guilty like I should be at home with them. I worry he won’t look after LO properly (I struggle with anxiety) but I do long to have time to myself to recharge but have forgotten what to do to enjoy myself! Any tips… if you get any time to yourself what do you do that makes you feel like you again?

Why don't u ask friend to even just go for coffee and chat for an hour and build it up from there. More u go out longer u stay out gives u chance to build trust in ur partner to look after lo.

He's happy to have LO, so let him! Arrange to meet a friend for a coffee or lunch, or let him take baby out for a while and you can have a bath and chill out

I use the gym for me time. I feel better after a good workout. It helps improve my mental and physical health so it's one of the few things I dont feel guilty about

Going for a bath and then chilling in bed, watching true crime documentaries 👌🏼

When my husband can spend time with our son and I can go and have time to myself, I usually get a facial or massage. Or going for a ride with my favorite refresher/coffee. Staying home and having time to myself is not an option as our son will keep asking for me.

Do you have a bath, why not start with having a bath or round for a short walk/ taking a nap

@Olga Oooh that all sounds so good 🤣
