How are you dealing with being with your family all the time?
Lyndsay Fields
I love my family very much, I am very grateful for them. However, I am a boy mom to a 13 year old, pregnant with another boy, have my husband and 2 male dogs. There is a lot of testosterone in the house right at all times. With Covid, I am working full-time from home, my son has virtual classes at home and my husband works half days from home, from noon on, we are all home, EVERYDAY!
So everyday I am being asked "do you know where my ______ is," "I'm hungry," "what do we have to eat," "what are you doing?" and every other thing that these boys need (they are capable of doing all these things on there own, but as a wife and mom I guess they see me as the all knowing Oracle and can not make any decisions without consulting me)
I know I am also emotional from being 32 weeks pregnant as well and also going on month 5 of staying at home, but I just want some alone time! I miss when I got to miss my boys, when I got to go to an office and come home to them, when they would go on guy outings and I would be alone in the house, when there wasn't sports center on the tv always.
If anyone else is in this situation- what are you doing to have your you time while still being in a house of needy guys?
