Cuddle or clean?

Question

Not so much controversial but I struggle with this daily.

Situation: You are extremely tired and your child is super cranky. S/he finally falls asleep. There are things that need to be done around the house as well. Do you take that nap time to cuddle up and catch some sleep as well? Or stay awake so you can clean and have "me" time?

Answer

If you're that tired, sleep. You can clean any time. I don't nap so it's not an issue for me, but even if you have a giant pile of dishes, clean them later. Not s big deal.

Answer

For me it depends. Sometimes a nap is my "me time." Sometimes cleaning to lower my stress levels at the sight of the house is my "me time." And sometimes just managing to paint my toenails and do a half-decent job is my "me time."

Today, I slept an extra 30 minutes, painted my toenails (well), and bleached my very neglected mustache that has been mocking me forever.

If thatis literally all I accomplish today, I'll still call it a win.

Answer

If you're tired then sleep, not that parents with babies aren't always tired lol.

You'll find balance between the two. Just don't be pressured to have a immaculate house when you're goal is to take care of baby, not impress anyone. Good luck.

Answer

To me cleaning is the opposite of me time LOL… But I might choose to do anyone of those things depending on how tired I am, I might take a nap. If I am desperate for me time, I'll do that. Otherwise I would clean.

Answer

I suppose it depends on what needs to be done. There's a difference between messy and dirty, so once the messy line is crossed into dirty things need to get done sooner or later so sometimes you have to do it. And necessity is a factor...like if you have no clean bottles or clothes so you gotta get that done.

Answer

Depends on how much needs to get done, I get tired and just want to cuddle but if I don't get things done they'll never get done and I don't want to live in a pig pen

Every so often I choose to cuddle, but I try to get myself to get up and get things down
