mommy interupted
so i am at my boys school this morning as i am on the home and school board and we have a meeting tonite.(this is all the stuff that i now have the time to do since i don't work full time anymore). but i am having a hard time completing any of the task that i have in front of me., why you ask? its because of my 10 month old daughter. she is very uncondusive to anything productive. i know its my monster that i created because i kept her home with me this entire time that she has been on this earth, but i am now finding myself with the dilemma of weaning her out of the hold me all the time regimen that is so fully accustomed to. how do you break that sweet baby that you love to hold close and smell that innocent baby smell out of the hold me, please me, entertain me monster that comes from that? i went to make diner for myself last nite and my daughter screamed like a banshee because she didn't want me to put her down. any suggestions? how can i spend some well deserved me time without feeling like I'm not giving her the attention that she sometimes needs but always wants. right now i am at the mercy of doing everything one handed until she becomes self sufficient to entertain herself for a few minutes at a time. (By the way this particular entry took me 2 hours to write being at the mercy of Alaysia fighting nap time.)

ReplyDeleteI had the same issue with my nephew since his mom opts to hold him. All the time. So we had to rough it out. I put him in his high chair with snacks and just talk to him, listen to music, dance, have PBS on. Sometimes I let him just crawl/ half walk around the kitchen while I cook or handle things in the house. On a good day he goes for it - on a bad day he doesn't. But as long as I know he is fine, the years dont phase me - he needs to break out of his bad habits.
ReplyDeletewell right now we are trying this walker business. but as you stated on a good day she's fine but on a bad day i can friggin forget it. but once we move and its only her and me home during the day not grandparents as well as a uncle to hold her when mommmy cant she'll be able to adjust better because her options will be very limited. also i will be able to put her on the floor and let her play more openly as i am not able to do that at the moment. so we'll see how this goes
