I'm a young twenty something woman from England and I'm using my writing and this account to explore and share my personal fantasies. A 2018 survey found that getting a child ready for school involves asking kids at least twice each morning to get dressed, brush their teeth, and for god’s sake, put on their freaking shoes. As soon as I saw the large tiled rain shower, cozy robe, and plush bed with monogrammed tweed blanket, I knew this was my new heaven.

When her husband said he had things under control, she spent the night there, awaking feeling refreshed and rested. And we are often jumped on, climbed on, crawled on, by our kids all day — never left alone to use the bathroom, take a shower, or eat a meal — so getting a break and getting time to ourselves is a real luxury.

She spent her day off with a drink by the pool, wandering around the charming town of Nyack, taking herself out for dinner, and getting a good night’s sleep. Of course, not everyone can afford to spend a night in a hotel, or you may not have a partner or caregiver able to watch your children overnight.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my son and husband, but the lack of time to myself builds and builds as the weeks go on. Unless your son asked you to intervene on his behalf because he is uncomfortable about it, you are the Blackhawk of parents. And if we do manage to take some time here or there to ourselves, we often feel guilty about not doing something work- or child-related instead.I imagine that the OP was trying to use the authority of the ped to get the stepmom to put some clothes on. Yes, I missed reading books to my son and kissing him goodnight but the relaxing evening of dining alone at the hotel’s restaurant — in silence — and snuggling up with a book before falling into a blissful, 12-hour sleep was healing and invigorating. So while a night off is certainly well deserved for any parent (and according to a recent study on the stress levels of American mothers, truly necessary), there is a certain amount of privilege being exercised for those able to do it.
