What can we do to keep our toddler distracted so we can have alone time?

You can’t leave him alone so you can get your leg over :nauseated_face::nauseated_face::nauseated_face: that’s incredibly dangerous, he needs to be supervised. Imagine something happened to him “yeah his head is split open, not sure how because we were having sex and he was alone” social services will be on your back. Wait until he’s asleep. Gets harder as they get older :rofl::rofl:

So, you’re basically asking to solve a worldwide problem? :joy::joy::joy: Most of the common folk just wait till the kiddies are asleep :woman_shrugging:t2::joy:

This is why being a stay at home mother can sometimes have negative effects on children… u need to atleast go out once or twice a week to go shopping or date nights and let someone else watch ur child to form healthy emotions for ur child

Firstly this is a horrible reason to leave a 2 year old toddler unsupervised and quite frankly it’s dangerous. Have your couple time when your toddler is safely asleep.
This is why bed times and being on a routine is so important.

So when choosing comes u don’t have this embarrassing issue

We did when our boy slept, guessing you co sleep? So you can’t? or other option is saying you’re having a shower, so he can hear the water going and know you’re there, but not feel the need to check on you so you can have a quick one. Best to start getting him used to being without you slowly, or starting to look into babysitters/daycare if you want alone time.

I use a nanny cam that I can talk through and our son is placed in his room so he can play when I see him getting anxious I talk to him through it. I would do it a couple times a day before trying it when you want the alone time so he gets used to it and knows that just cause he’s by himself doesn’t mean your not there. I always answer through the cam so they understand they dont need to run out of the room to find me

Your child should never be left alone or even out of the eyesight of a caretaker or adult at this age, unless he is sleeping and then only when someone is in earshot. Virtually anything could happen and you would regret it for the rest of your life.
I remember telling a young father to be what was most important about being a parent some years ago.
Here it is: Keeping your child alive. There is probably not a parent alive or ever was that has not had to weigh the equation of: Is someone capable watching my son/daughter and Is it safe for my child, and can I have sex now?
Please wait until he is sleeping to have sex.

Uhhh wait till he goes to bed?

I won’t mom shame, but I will say either hire a sitter to take him to the park or wait until he’s in bed. Not sure why it needs to be done during the day, but I don’t recommend leaving a 2 year old unattended or sitting in front of the TV just so you can bump uglies.

My hubs and I just wait for opportune moments lol don’t listen to everyone saying wait until bedtime, if we did that we would never have sex lol because we have 3 kids and it’s almost always a collapse in bed at night lol it is perfectly ok to leave your 2 year old in the other room so you can go sew into your marriage gahhhh some people lol

Please. For God sakes you don’t want the nightmares I have in that department. Picture this. … thinking the kid is entertained. So I find my girl. Play the sweetheart game. Next thing you know going for broke porn star status. … and I don’t realize I have a two year old and a pitbull watching me murder her mother with the mid section and I will never know how long the kid was watching … but she is 18 now and in college and she still remembers it. And so do we. It’s trauma you can avoid just wait till the kid goes to bed. Please i can’t stress this enough

Do what everyone one els does and wait til your kids asleep jeezo :woman_facepalming:

These hateful ass comments do not pass the vibe check.

She asked for ideas not rude ass comments & judgments on her parenting.

My advice, and it’ll take a while. But during the day put him in a pack n play or something he can’t get out of & give him things to distract him while you clean or do the dishes or whatever it may be. Start the process of him not needing to see you/ be constantly attached to you 24/7.

Yes, he’ll cry. No, don’t let him do it for hours on end before you go back and comfort him. But, eventually he will realize you’re not leaving him just bc he can’t see you.

Def wait til he’s in bed or have someone watch him for the afternoon/evening or something. I just worry to much with either climbing on something and it falling on said child, opening the door and leaving, choking on something etc.

This is why I don’t want kids. Look at how judge you all are. This is why women with kids are moody and horrible because you don’t get laid. You put your kid before everything. Not realizing if you aren’t happy and healthy how must your kid be? You don’t stop living when you become a mom. Your needs are important too.

Maybe try when he’s asleep. And if he’s cosleeping maybe try transitioning him to his own bed (you didn’t specify so I’m guessing here.) wake up early in the morning, wait until bed time, maybe a quickie in the shower. That’s part of being a parent

And this is why so many people are unhappy, especially momma’s. Your individuality doesn’t end when you have children. You can still be you AND be a mother. And bring you includes having sex with your partner and enjoying that time with them. You get it in when you can fit it in. Sometimes that means, a baby gate, toys, and a movie playing, with a baby monitor so you can have 10 minutes to feel like a desired woman again.

Also, how many of us have said “we will just wait until bed time,” and then your too exhausted to even think about getting it on? You marriage/relationship with your partner shouldn’t be put on the back burner just because you had a baby. That relationship still needs to be nurtured, and that included sex.

Create a safe place for your toddler if waiting until bedtime isn’t an option. Make sure you have a baby monitor set up so you can hear. Possibly a video one so you can also check visually without having to leave where you are. Make sure there aren’t any toys or anything in the room that could harm, set up a baby gate, and get your quickie. I would say if you are wanting a longer “session” then you should wait until baby is sleeping.

Don’t feel bad for asking this and don’t let others make you feel like you are a bad mother for reaching out. You aren’t. :blush:

My god! Wait until he goes to bed! :woman_facepalming:t2:

You know, this is why CPS is called.
Accidents happen and trips to the hospital occur.
Let me ask this, what on Earth makes you so horny while taking care of a two year old all day?
Because I have 3 kids under 4 yrs old and I just want to have a moment of peace during the day… That’s about it.

People kill me with their judgement :woman_facepalming: like all these parents havent left their child alone in a room before lol come on. Put a gate up where he can’t get out put a baby monitor in the room and he should be just fine. People will act like you are the worst person in the world for asking for advice. You do what you gotta do when you don’t have any other options. Good luck Mama!!!

He’s only 2…put him in the room with u with some toys and a cartoon on quietly. He’s not gonna know ur fucking

Damn some of y’all are some judgy bitches.

Most parents I know have always tried to get their child down by 7 or 8 so that they have me time and spouse time. It is the only way to survive​:joy: otherwise you will always be burnt out. I too was a sahm. If he’s in your room start by getting him on a toddler bed in your room. Find Mothers Day out this fall one day a week. It’s amazing how nice that is. Start by leaving for an 1 hour than 2 and so on until he knows you will always return for him. (Of course with a sitter) I used older college kids of people I knew. Good luck!:+1:t2:

Bedtime. My kid goes to bed at 7pm. 7-11pm is adult time. Aside from intimacy, there’s just no way I can be a good parent if I don’t get me time on a regular basis. I also use this time to get certain chores done without having him underfoot.

You shouldn’t leave your child alone when they are awake to have sex you chose to have kids and that comes with making a few changes wait for him to be asleep

Wait till he is in bed. If he cosleeps with you go to the couch or another room. When your child is little you get it whenever you can, even if it means staying up a little later. Your childs saftey should come before you getting the D.

Wait until bedtime or decide what’s more important your paranoia with a sitter or sex life :grimacing:

You really should not be leaving your 2 year old unsupervised so you can have sex. I would wait until he is asleep.

When he goes to bed,
Being intimate isnt just putting a pe#is in a v#gina there is so much you can do to build up to when you have your alone time

The only time me and my fiance get alone time is when our 3 year old is asleep in bed. That’s it.

At 2 years old he should still be going to bed pretty early… you can’t just leave a 2 year old to fend for himself for an hour :joy:

You have to take them outside to play wear them out… And put them to bed… And wait… You should never leave a two year old unattended awake while your trying to have sex… For goodness sake…

2-year-old still need a nap during the day and so you could do it then as well as bedtime. It is not okay to leave the 2-year-old unattended while he is awake in a room. Have no idea what he could get into or what could happen (choke on toy,food etc) that is simply not safe. Sort of like you wouldn’t leave a child in the care of someone drunk or on drugs who couldn’t attend to them safely should there be an emergency. CPS would have a hay day with you if you’re leaving a child awake and alone. That’s called child endangerment and they can remove your child for that.

Anyone saying wait til the kid goes to sleep obviously doesnt have kids or their sex life is sh*t. You need to keep the spark alive n before kids it was everywhere n anywhere thats how theyre alive :woman_shrugging: you wait til night time youre already exhausted n its not enjoyable. There is nothing wrong with putting a baby gate up. Put the tv on some toys and go spend a little time in the room with some music on. Itll help block out the fussing and itll teach him hes ok to be alone for a little bit.

Naps and sleep? Thats what I do
