Re: the baby's caregiver

Today at my new mom's group, we focused on "self". As I'm learning, it takes effort to remember to take care of myself, and as I have said before, you have to take care of yourself to be able to take care of others (the baby in my case).
Something I took home from class today is that being a mom is a job and I shouldn't feel like I am not working right now. The income is not cash, but it is the toughest job I'll have (with a demanding boss) and therefore I deserve to take time for recreation (as much as my husband does). But, I'm conflicted because I need alone time, but its hard to have fun now by myself, away from my family...
Finally, my homework from class is to start planning a date with the hubby.
