Of course I hope to catch up with friends more than once a year, but it’s often in group settings and if my kid is around I can’t focus on adult conversations too much. Each date is different — sometimes we go for a hike, or brunch, dinner, mani/pedi, etc. It became important for me to set this time aside to invest in my friendships after I had my LO

Agree with D1 - me time is taking a shower

I’ve got kids too. Therefore massages when I’m on the road or else it’s take-out and TV

Totally agree with D1. I’m happy to take a shower in peace!
