doing it
So I put the baby into his playpen yesterday. He liked it for about 15 minutes. It was ridiculous. I sat across the room and stared at him. He didn’t even care, he was having fun playing. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
meanwhile, I tried to leave him in bed with my husband last night so I could work on some videos in the office. He came to me with the baby about an hour later and the session was over. I didn’t get much done. *sigh*
whatever. I might get something else done today.
but I’ve decided that this will be the last week of my clingy schedule, if I can handle it. I will start laying him down for naps and trying to get things done during the day. I simply must. I have to try. I want to have him cuddled with me always but it’s just not practical, not for the things I want to do and need to do.
So there we go.
he’s cryng in his bouncy chair right now. I should go get him, it’s feeding time anyway.

Its okay to want to be with him, but your sanity needs a break from time to time… so, I suggest baby steps. What can you do in 15 minutes? Its not a whole lot of time, but it might be enough to load the dishwasher or take a shower, to make beds, etc… he knows you’re not abandoning him…

Maybe you can teach him to soothe with something else? i have been trying to put Cora down for naps kindof awake with her glow worm going, it will do a few songs. Or I play this little noise machine, then if she wakes up she hears that.. and its something I can take with us when we travel (which is the main reason I started it). Just do the best you can honey!

This was hard for me with my last baby, too. If it helps: He’s 18 now, and still closer to me than the rest of the kids. Sometimes you have a special bond, and I’m happy to report that it’s not broken by physical distance.

Aw I can see how that would be frustrating and hard at the same time. I think you’re doing it in a good way though, small steps at a time. It’s not bad, what you’re feeling. But it does sound like you would like to find some balance and you’re on the right track!

It’s not realistic for anyone to spend constant time together honey. You can and should be able to do the things that you’ve always done. Glad you’re at least practicing something and trying to make progress it’s more then I can say for other people.
