I suppose you could try reading while taking a bath so no one can bug you.

I am so glad that you do this for yourself. I've pretty much lost all of my friends because once they became parents, they refused to ever do anything for themselves and threw themselves into parenthood 24/7 (i.e., refusing to hire a babysitter so they can go to dinner with friends and stuff like that). It's kind of sad I think because once their kids are grown and gone, I think they'll really have trouble readjusting to life. I also think that a little bit of "me time" can't be a bad thing for a parent. I'm sure it would take the edge off when parenting gets a little crazy!textbookonly wrote:Hi, I'm a mother of three year old and I can understand how difficult it is to take out time with two kids. I have fixed one hour for myself during a day, when I just give time to reading and relaxing when my child is out to play with friends or watching his cartoons. I feel if we make it as our necessity then we can definely take out time for reading whether in the morning or afternoon or in the night.

Now that she's a little older (7) it's become easier. I sit across the kitchen table from her while she's doing her homework and read --I think its good for her to see me read because I want her to pick up my habits.
I keep books with me at all times so I can read while in the gym while she's at her gymnastics class, and I read in the car when I'm early in the carpool line and have my car turned off waiting for school to get out--but usually it's at night, if I don't fall asleep right after she does.
