Can I be honest for a sec?
Sometimes I'm literally counting down the minutes to nap time. Not because I don't love my kid, but because my brain is FRIED and I just need 5 minutes where nobody is touching me or saying "mama" on repeat.
And then the guilt hits.
Like when I put the TV on so I can actually get something done. Or when I'm overstimulated and I catch myself looking forward to bedtime… and then feel like a terrible mom for it.
Am I the only one?
