Needing “alone” time

Woke up this morning partner asked for breakfast knowing we had about a hour before needing to leave for church. I made banana pancake from scratch, eggs and bacon. Rushed to get the kids ready after they ate and was getting myself ready. He said he was ready to go then soon as I was ready was like nah y’all go ahead I need alone time like wtf. So I told him I wasn’t gonna go alone with the kids to church I did it once and it’s just uncomfortable. But annoyed that it’s like can just wake up and be like ohh I get alone time like when tf could I just do that SMH. I ended up taking the kids out to go do an activity while he gets his “alone” time 🙄 like their day isn’t gonna suffer because you wanna be weird. A big point in the church we go to is because the kids program is good and they get to be around other kids, plus pastor does a good job.

Do you get alone time at all?

@Raqi I do if I plan a week in advance. Other time is morning during the week and kids wake up early and I get to sleep in but I do night time every night.

Next Sunday you should do what he did to you today. Tell him you want breakfast, have him get the kids ready, and send him off with them while you do whatever you want

@Raqi good point. Take a day for myself too, frustrating that it was last min after we were ready to start our day

Do it to him next time then, sorry but I wouldn't allow it not last minute that is quiet frankly taking the p*ss

@Becky right! It would turn into a huge argument if I don’t give in, it’s definitely disrespectful to me

Absolutely, I'm all for giving my partner "me time" and vice versa, but this is a joke especially when you're getting the kids ready and making breakfast rushing about to get out the door
