So funny, I realized today I was doing this and wondered if I am the only mom who does this? Then I see a comment from Saloni where she said when her kid makes baby noises she wants to run in the opposite direction. Now, she didn’t say she did, but I am here to say I have. I wouldn’t leave her stranded. I just saw an opportunity. Vivien was in the back yard with my husband when I realized, “Hey, I’m tired and would love to quickly watch some adult TV. Or read a few pages of Barbara Walters memoir.” So I dashed into my room and had about 6 minutes of chill before I heard, “Mommy!” When she came in she said she wanted to watch cartoons. I didn’t cave, “No honey, I want to watch some mommy TV and rest.” Thankfully she said. “Can I rest with you?” And she did for a little while. I just needed to recharge. Does anyone else hideout
