Do you believe in "Me Time" when your married?

When my kids were young, I found if I could get them physically involved in an activity-I could sit & read my book in peace.

Sorta like them playing video games & being distracted-try it with physical activity.

Can you take them to parks, petting zoos, beaches to play in the sand, any little field trips to tire them out. & while they are doing the activity you can sit on a park bench relaxing & watch over them?

If she "excuses" you...what's the problem. LOL!

Who cares? I would tell her I met up with a buddy and we went to the strip club.

Actually, I have told her that and she would respond, "You probably did."

Then I laugh.

Use the cherry-flavored kind. The kids find that much more palatable.

Me time is very important, and yes there is literature to support it as well. If your SO is being cranky about it, have a chat with him/her at a time when you are both relaxed (it might have to be at 2am). You'll both get more out of the relationship and enjoy it more if you each have some me time.
