Sitting here posting discussions on Mylot. He works all day, I have my son all day plus a full time job supporting computers from home. Should I feel guilty that I am not spending time with them even though they are sleeping.. I know I am exhausted, but I need some time for myself.. am I wrong? Please don't get me wrong my husband is wonderful.. I think that is what makes me feel guilty.. whay do you think?

Nope, you shouldn't feel guilty at all. Everyone needs their own time. By you taking your time when everyone is sleeping and not taking time away from them during family time or alone time with your husband, I think shows you value your family.

Well if he is sleeping, I do not think that you should feel guilty. Everyone need some you time, and this is the right time for you since everyone is asleep. Sometimes you need to unwind before you go to sleep. If you have done everything that needs to be done around the house, take advantage of the time you have alone

Hiya sudalunts.. Yes, everything is done around the house, all clean, dishes, laundry done, walked the dogs too! I never have time alone.. maybe that is why I feel so guilty! It's always run, run, run. I just want to sit back and relax for awhile! Thank you for the support.. I may even put my slippers on.. the ugly ones too! They are comfy.. maybe even a cup of tea! Woo Hoo!

hello nanciem! this has been a year ago, but can i still respond? hehe well well, i am also guilty of this, there are nights oh well most nights for the last few months i am always left here posting and having fun with some of my friends while my husband is already sleeping! haha sometimes i do feel guilty but what can i do? hehe late night is the best time for me to post coz there's no disturbance around. and also he sleeps early that's why due to his work. but there are still some time that i sleep along with him, and these last few weeks, i am really trying to limit my time on the computer, and i saw how happy he was when i lie beside him before he sleeps. but you know, sometimes i think we are just even...because he wakes up so early and when i wake up i saw him already surfing!
