Hubby not at home

Agra, India
May 31, 2018 11:29am CST
My husband has gone out for dinner with his friends. He will take another hour to return. Till then I will stay awake. My 4 year old son refuses to sleep. I desperately want him to sleep and spend some time for myself.

It is nice to have some me-time. I often escape from my husband so I can just be alone. Now that we are retired, we are together too much lol

@infatuatedbby I can sleep only if he sleeps. It appears that he does not have any plans

Well hope your son was able to go to sleep and you had some time to yourself while your hubby was away. Hope he had fun going out with his friends.

@amitkokiladitya glad he had fun and that sucks about the electric. Hope you were able to sleep and it didn't stay off for very long.

@Blondie2222 it came back after 2 hours. It was so hot that I had to stay awake until then.

It is indeed despairing when you want a time for yourself yet you still have a duty to do and for you that's putting your child to sleep. Well, maybe you should just let him be awake and stay in the bedroom with you only. At least, you can do what you want, while he plays inside the bedroom.

@amitkokiladitya Of course. You are one of my dear friends here. I suppose you are busy with your work too, just like me. Or you have found another writing site.

Finding time for oneself with little kid is really next to impossible.

Does your son not go to bed when you tell him too and stay in bed? Me time is necessary when you are a mom, thats when I enjoy mine, when my husband is gone.

@amitkokiladitya All children need rules, without them they run the households and the parents end up doing what the children want. I don't mean to tell you how to raise your son, but rules help them growing up to follow others when they are made. I hope he sleeps soon.

@amitkokiladitya But you give him time to go home because we don't know what happen next when he or his friend drunk.
