Lesty, some babies just like cuddles more than others. If you have no support network then Daniel isn't used to other people, that's the problem (and it's not your fault!). DS is so used to me that he won't have more than 15 minutes with someone else, less if he can't see me. Very few exceptions - maybe someone I'm having a conversation with or someone he sees every day, like Daddy or my Mum when she visits. He isn't spoilt, he just knows that Mumma loves him and wants to love me back!
We also have the radio on all day for singing/dancing opportunities, but do have the TV on while I eat dinner... it amuses for about 2 minutes (it amuses more in the morning when it's off LOL) then I'm back to blowing kisses, leaving my dinner to play for a few minutes and having DS at the table trying to play with my food. TBH, the TV is on more for me to watch the news and weather than it is for DS! I do try him with the odd disney too, but still no interest. But I didn't have a child to put him in front of the TV all day!
It sounds like you're doing a great job - and my DH wonders how we can have a no-housework day too! Let's be honest here - we both prefer our "high maintainance" babies because it means we get loads of cuddles, kisses and giggles: we'd miss it if we just plonked the child in front of the TV and went about our daily business.
