I love lists like these. I am always thinking of how much more “me” time I need. I know the whole world needs more me time. It is so important, uplifting and releasing all at once.

Reclaim that bathroom as yours! Lock the door (as long as someone else is with the kids) and have your time alone.

As serving as an LDS Sister Missionary you have to be with your companion where ever you go (except at home, bathroom, etc.). This can be quite stressful especially if you have a snobby companion, so everywhere we went I always asked to use the restroom, and to have 5-10 minutes to myself was so joyful and wonderful! I think we all did this, so when I read your article I chuckled because I had mastered the bathroom for time alone. Now with 2 kids I never have the bathroom to myself anymore, oh well.

@Annie @ PhD in Parenting, I completely agree. Your partner needs to be more than just “involved” for long-term sanity to survive.

These are great tips for finding those few minutes of sanity that you need on a busy day with kids. For real balance and me-time though I find the key things are having your spouse (for those who have one) be an equal parent (and not just a babysitter) so that you can have some true down time to yourself without feeling like you are abandoning your kids. Also building a village of trusted relatives or friends who you can trade off with also helps.
