Confession: Secret Day Off

Submitted by: Anonymous

Washington DC

At least once a month I will take a day off during the week, but I won't tell my kids.

I will still get dressed like I'm going to work, and even pack "my lunch." After I drop them off at school I go back home for some mommy time.

I hate to lie to my kids, but whenever I'm off someone always "gets sick" at school.

Confession: Downtime

Submitted by: Kieria

Houston, TX

I'm a mother of 3 all under 4 and expecting a fourth. I've been super mom the past 5 years but now my husband is finally in a position to work and let me stay home. And some day, I won't lie, I just sit around and the kids run the house. I feel sometimes I can take a mental break even if that means the house gets dirty. Especially now being pregnant and my youngest is 5 months. I'm drained. But I feel like downtime is ok. Anyone else feel this way and doesn't feel guilty about it?
