“You get a break, right?”

My childfree friend asked me this.

I’m a single mom to a six month old. My soon to be ex husband lives states away and doesn’t want visitation, so I am doing this parenting thing alone.

Friend and I were texting and I mentioned something about how I don’t really have time for hobbies right now. She responded with the title of this post.

She doesn’t know any better, but I wanted to be like, sure, I get to come up for air for about 10 minutes per day and those minutes are not consecutive, they’re spread out over the whole day! But yeah. You’re right. Let me just put baby in the cupboard so I can do some needlepoint.
