How the heck does everyone else manage to cook dinner and look after bub at the same time? I have to have Kynan in his playpen during that time as our house is very open plan. We have no way of blocking off the kitchen from the lounge room and I don't want Kynan under my feet when there is stuff cooking on the stove. I try to have get some of the meal prepared earlier in the day when Kynan's happier but some things need to be done in the late afternoon / early evening and by then Kynan's cranky and just wants his mummy to cuddle & play with him. It's driving me nuts and takes 3 times as long to make dinner!
