I love my kids (one elementary school, other preschool) more than anything but would LOVE to have some adult time. My family lives about an hour away but do not babysit due to health and other reasons. My in laws are great but live a days drive away. I just want to have adult time with my husband again....to watch a show we want to watch, go on a date, have a quiet dinner at home, or have sex when we want (instead of waiting after kids are asleep) and so many other things too... I feel uncomfortable asking friends to babysit because of COVID and because they all have help from their parents so they wouldn't necessarily need the favor returned. I don't feel comfortable paying a stranger to babysit them because it's a stranger and also it's an expense I don't want. I get so jealous when our friends or people at work talk about grandparents/other family babysitting or taking the kids overnight or for the weekend but don't let on. I just want some adult time back! I don't know how to get it and when life gets too busy I just feel overwhelmed, crushed and ashamed. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3CUAMum
