Can't Get Alone Time as a Mom

I don’t want this to sound horrible but it is driving me crazy that my family follows me around everywhere. I went outside to just get a moment of fresh air and collect myself and watch some deer walking by. Then my husband and kid come out too. How do you ever get alone time as a mom 😭😭

      Like others said communicate in the most difficult way; honestly and vulnerably. I would say hey this is really hard for me to admit but I'm having a hard time with being over stimulated, I'd feel like my day to day would be a lot easier if I had time set aside for just me and minimal stimulation; can you support me in that?

      It's nearly impossible. Do you have a tub? If so, institute personal time by locking of 30-45 minutes at least 3 or 4 times a week for you to take an uninterrupted bubble bath (have your salt or sugar scrub, your bubble bath, a glass of wine, and watch a show you like on your phone as it sits safely, for you to enjoy while soaking.

      Be truthful with your husband and tell him you need a little time alone. I live with my husband my son and our 90 lab, in a 460 sqft cabin.
