I’m curious to see how other mamas do to relax at night! Especially after a long and stressful day. Between teething with my little one and my other one being hyper as all get out, my nerves are shot. And I’m just curious to see how other mamas relax at night to help calm their nerves.

Well I’m 7 months pregnant now lol but non pregnant, alcohol and snacks, bath and reality shows on tv lol
Depends on the day. Most days it’s yoga, some days it’s crafts, Some days it’s baking, some days gardening, somtimes reading, and every day it’s cannabis.
Cannabis helps me and all these endeavors and also helps my chronic pain and my adhd.

Magnesium is a natural relaxant and important mineral that most of us lack.

Adult coloring and I’m going to try diamond painting on my weekend.
I read myself to sleep. I’ve done it for the past 7 years. That’s the only way I can sleep now. And it’s my me time. And my escape. I do the kindle so I can read at night. And it’s just for books so its mine and no one else has any reason to touch it.

I spend some time on FB or watch a grown-up movie that I can’t enjoy with kids around. Read a book. Eat my hidden snacks. Paint my nails. Take an uninterrupted shower where no one flushes the toilet!
Bathtub and a good book. When my kids (twins) were little, bedtime early enough for us to have adult time. Too many parents let their kids stay up too late.
I was going through the same thing. I have a few different things I do that help. I play with/ make slime. I make jewelry. I read a book, watch a movie, or a show and drink a glass of wine. I put my kids to bed then the rest of the night is me time. No chores, no cleaning, nothing. All me. Lol
Teething is normal … hyper is a possible pediatrician visit for ADHD which is very common today. If you feel stressed imagine how your hyper kiddo is feeling !
A warm bath put some bath bombs, prepare some snacks, relaxing music, candles, face and hair mask, and a glass of wine…

What does “relax” mean?
I don’t know the meaning of that word. On the rare chance I do get some time to myself that isn’t spent dying on my couch(currently pregnant),taking care of my house, toddler, working, or doing hw, I like to take a hot(warm cuz of baby) bath with epsom salt and the lights of with candles lit, or play the sims. But that’s on a very very RARE occasion.
