Some times we all need some “me” time.


I don’t think that makes you or I a bad father for wanting that. I think it’s fair to say that raising a child is a challenging task that is extremely rewarding, but it can also be incredibly draining on not only your physical self but your mental self as well.


My partner Amanda loves spending a great deal of her time on the weekends with our daughter. Considering the long hours she works, the time she gets to see our daughter awake and active is very limited during the week. Even so, she takes time out where she can focus on herself a little also. A little bit of paradise for her that enables her to continue go out in the real world every morning, leaving her family behind.


I’m no different, I am fortunate that I can run a great deal of my business from home and also look after our daughter during the day. It’s a luxury that many don’t have. But even so, it’s important for me to find that little piece of paradise every week so that I can think about ‘me’ a little.


I know of parents that wouldn’t dare give themselves such a ‘luxury’ and I often think they feel guilty for doing so. I feel the complete opposite, in fact I would feel guilty if I didn’t give myself some ‘me’ time.


Am I Selfish!? I don’t think so.


In fact I am a better dad once I have had that ‘me’ time. I spend that little bit extra time playing with Mia, our walks last a little bit longer, our books we read before bed are a little more exciting.


When I have given myself that time to spend on me, I come out of it a better dad and my daughter reaps the benefits of that. That doesn’t sound so selfish to me.
