Quickies

To the busy/overworked parents of TW; here is the small dilemma. We have 15 minutes until she (wife) has to leave to take our 4 yr old to swim class. Kid is watching cartoons. ( Don't bother flaming about being irresponsible, blah blah, married couples with kids understand the value of a few private minutes) We go to our room to "change", with the "we will be right there to leave for swim class" statement. Fast foward........."changing clothes" , little feet come running. Wife holds the door while I zip it up; quickie is over, unfinished. So...to my question, What do other parents do to get 5 or 10 minutes alone? Any smart answers to the knock-knock-knock to get a couple more minutes...or seconds, for that matter?

i smell an epic thread

 

Epic, lol and sub'd don't help Daddy get business done.

 

I'm hoping the girlfriend and I still work at the same company if we ever decide to have kids.

It's easier to find 5-10 minutes when one of you has an office that is inside the server/data room with a very loud cooling system directly adjacent to it.

Set your alarm for 2am, game on.

 

Like the movie "not another teen movie" when the dude is bangin the girl, dad walks up the stairs to say dinners ready, and the chick is yelling " im comming" over and over again. Dad says o, ok and walks back downstairs..lol

 

How do you have time to type about it here yet you don't have time to change clothes?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With that being said, do it while your kid is taking a nap.

 

2 am is only 2 hours before my alarm. I could, she won't....ever. Bedtime is 8 pm, but she is a tough sleeper, not out till 10 or so, and a very light sleeper. We get a date night once a month or so where my parents keep our daughter, which gets a HUGE thank you from my wife and I.

 

I thought that was from one of the American pie movies

 

Get the kid into an activity, gymnastics, swimm class bam hour of free time

 

Daughter is at daycare all day, we both work fulltime, I'm doing 70 hrs/wk. And I have time to type on here because neither of them are home. Nap time is near non-existent, but we do it when we get the chance.

 

4 yrs old still requires at least one of us to be there.

I'm right there with you. My daughter is 1 1/2 and it's tough finding some time. Seems like quickies are about it unless it's nap time. The problem with nap time is I try to be productive, my fiance takes a nap (not going to happen when she is tired) or one of us heads out for some alone time. We still haven't found a good solution, but I'm more than happy to let my fiance go out and drink with her friends, if you know what I mean...

 

Noooooo, your bad!

 

I think that might have been a spoof from American Pie.


Subbed since I have a baby due in about 2 months.

 

x-many many times. She is a great kid, just full of energy and questions, like all kids should be.
