If you have a child that refuses to take naps, or is just picky about how they fall asleep, you have probably had them fall asleep on top of you. This leads to the inner dilemma on whether you should move or not once they pass out. Nothing gives you more time to think about your life than when you are trapped by a sleeping baby. You may realize your phone is about to die, or that you haven’t peed in five hours. It’s also a great time to reflect on your life and family.
Key Takeaways:
- At least twice a day, I find myself trapped in the rocker-glider in my baby’s bedroom. That’s because my 9-month-old has finally succumbed to a nap. And I don’t dare move a muscle.
- The only thing worse than a dying phone when you’re struck holding a sleeping baby is being able to see your decently-charged phone, but it’s just out of reach.
- Maybe even get ahead a little. If I can’t knock out some writing, or keep the housework mildly afloat, then I’ll be stuck playing catch-up until midnight.
“Nap time (when the kids actually sleep during it) is the one time of day for me to be productive without little ones running/crawling everywhere. Maybe even get ahead a little.”
