I ususally have someone awake as well but they are either in a playpen or quietly watching a movie, that shouldn't stop you from taking a break for yourself! I used to have a child that would only nap an hour and now she naps for 2 and if she wakes then she plays quietly in her playpen! As long as they are safe sometimes I even let them cry for a few minutes! As long as I can hear them and know what kind of a cry it is! Just like your own little ones if we pick them up everytime they cry they will try and be the ones in control!

Ladies I clean as well and tidy up but always take a few minutes for yourself!

Hugs!
