I work full time, but I still need some me time. My OH and I both take 1-2 evenings a week and go off on our own while the other watches Gabriel. I think it's good to take time away from him, being a mom is only one part of who I am.
I totally agree, we are more than just a mum. My hubby does football once sometimes twice a week, I'm going to try to get into swimming once a week. I definitely value a couple of hours out.
