Bedtime is usually a joyous time for parents. A time to get some me time and just unwind from the crazy day that is behind us. However, lately for me, it’s been feeling quite lonely when the kids are finally asleep. Hubby is at work until midnight and it’s just me and my thoughts. I am always prompt when it comes to bedtime whereas daddy is a little more lenient. When he is home, the kids are in and out of the bed at least an hour past their bedtime since he is not here as much due to working evenings. I am more of the type of parent that if it’s bedtime, you better be in the bed and that’s it.
I love spending time with my girls but it’s great to have a breather where it’s quiet and peaceful in the house. Every now and then though, I just feel lonely when they have already gone to bed and are asleep. It’s just me and the quiet and I am longing to hear them run around and their voices. Call me crazy, but sometimes it’s just like that. Anyone else feel this way? I can’t be the only one.
