80 Feel like you're not doing alone time properly‪?‬ Mum As You Are

You find an hour to yourself. A moment you’ve potentially been anticipating
for weeks. What do you do? You fantasize about what you *could* do - book a
massage? see a friend? read a book?

Then the moment comes. Is this excitement or anxiety in your body? Is
this feeling calm or am I just frozen? Somehow you can’t think of a single
thing you want to but instead are filled with thoughts – I’m feeling ok now,
maybe I should just fold laundry. I’ll just go online for a bit, just to get
ideas and chill.

Next thing you’re looking at photos of your kids on your phone and the
hours is almost up. Now you’re all frustrated and angry at yourself again for
not doing alone time ‘properly’.

What happened?

As a mother, I’ve found myself fantasising about the second I can hand
the kids over to be alone, only to find that the moment I’m truly alone, I
don’t know what to do with myself.
