Single moms — time for yourself?
Quote from duskweir on May 13, 2020, 4:51 amI do the same thing lol. Hot water is sacred healing after dealing with kids and work all day. If he needs that reset time to just be quiet and clean, let him have it. I usually go in after him so the bathroom stays warm. Just enjoy your own peace while he’s in there. It’s not about control, it’s about survival.

Quote from Megan1990 on August 6, 2020, 1:31 pmMire. Same here. Yesterday i was walking to get coffee and out of nowhere i started power walking like my life depended on it. No one was chasing me but i felt like it. Then i got home and just collapsed on the couch. I think its just the caffeine or maybe im losing my mind lol. Definitely need a siesta after these random bursts of energy. So confusing.

Quote from bloomtreaty on December 4, 2021, 9:23 pmSi, es tan solo. I go to the gym at 6am when it’s dead silent. Just me, the treadmill, and my thoughts. Don’t need the noise or the staring eyes. I put on my playlist, ignore everyone, and leave asap. Sometimes I just watch telenovelas on my phone while stretching. Feels like my own private club. No conversation needed, just sweat and silence. Total vibe for me honestly.

Quote from Pinecertificate on January 5, 2021, 12:44 amHonestly im just resting. Like sleeping until my body stops screaming. I stopped trying to be productive or fix everything overnight. My therapist told me to treat myself like I had the flu, so thats what I do. Drink agua, nap in the day, eat whatever sounds good even if its junk food. You cant pour from an empty cup so just let yourself be useless for now. Take it one hour at a time.

Quote from Alice1976 on January 13, 2021, 8:06 amI just started throwing mine out. Waste is cheaper than the headache. If he wants lunch he can make it. I used to nag about it too but honestly I’m done fighting over food scraps. My sanity is worth more than a decent container of pasta. Just live with it or toss it.

Quote from happy1970 on November 15, 2021, 8:00 amSame here honestly. After 2 kids, my energy is basically zero after work. I dont even think about it most days. We just sleep next to each other and thats it. Sometimes we try but im too tired so i say no. It has been like this for years now. I guess it is normal for us moms. My husband understands mostly but sometimes gets quiet about it.

Quote from Goldensunset1987 on August 13, 2021, 2:28 amHonestly same here. Omg, I used to force myself to meditate for twenty minutes every morning and it just felt like another item on my to, do list. Now I just read one chapter of a book before bed. No pressure, no timer, just me and the story. If I miss a night, I dont sweat it. It stopped feeling like a chore once I stopped treating it like a performance and just kept it ridiculously low stakes.

Quote from rainsilk on May 19, 2021, 7:23 pmim done with the whole find god thing honestly. its exhausting trying to fit into someone else's version of spirituality. i just go to the river, sit in silence, and let the water do the talking. no rituals, no forcing it. sometimes the earth is enough. rest is its own form of prayer for me right now.

Quote from WisePeak on June 18, 2021, 9:42 pmHonestly not weird at all. We moved three times in two years so our bedroom setups have been half packed in boxes for months. Husband thinks I’m rejecting him, but I’m just exhausted. Most intimacy now is him falling asleep on the couch while I fold laundry. If I’m lucky we try for 10 minutes but usually it’s a nope from me. Just survive, don’t expect much until the kids actually leave the house.
