I have similar feelings except my alone time is some times tinged with guilt. That I am not spending it with my daughter (though I do spend lot of time with her )

I feel that too, a lot. But I try to remember that what my kids need is a relaxed, rejuvenated Dad. An hour of me time and an hour of quality time with them is worth more to both of us than two hours of distracted tense time with Dad.

As a kid, I seem to recall never having enough alone time. So your daughter may appreciate that you're not hanging out with her every waking minute (but it depends on the particular kid of course).
