So I got around to watching her mom tag video. Can I just say that when she got to the bit about people "mom shaming" her because she needs me time I literally screamed, "you still don't get it!" She said it's because people feel like she should be dedicating every waking moment to being a parent. From what I've read on various forums that's not people's issue with her at all.
Any parent I know freely admits that they need me time. No me time, no sanity. My husband and I prioritize date nights when he's home from traveling for work. Since I have the girls by myself a lot, he is wonderful and lets me have tons of me time when he's home. And sometimes me time involves doing the big shop by myself without two small children. While I'm doing that he's taking the girls fishing, to the park, shopping, riding bikes, and watching all their recitals I've video tapped for him. Why, because he knows in a few weeks he'll be on the road again. We both work. 6 months out of the year I am doing it all by myself. 6 months out of the year my husband has to be away from his girls.
So no Rebecca, people don't begrudge you your "me time." They do however resent you for saying you've earned it. Maybe two years ago that was true. But you've lost sight of what "me" time really means. So have most of your CM chums. You don't have the kind of busy life all of us still have. You or Lee no longer make the sacrifices my family and so many others do. You get tons of "me" time when your children are at school and Lee or your parents take Poppy. You no longer vlog or put up content every day. And snapping a few photos for Instagram ads takes minutes. I don't begrudge successful people. My husband just got a huge promotion and I'm doing well at work. We're comfortable. But we also work really hard for what we've got. No freebies here my dear. What I cannot stand are people with cushy lives who turn on the dramatics and the woe is me. At least have the ovaries to admit you are privileged.
