girlfriend, my DS is a boob man too, and it's getting me down, so you have helped someone with your vent. But vent away I say, I thought i was the only one.
thanks so much everyone. as you can probably tell i was really angry and upset yesterday, sorry if it came through in my posts as anger. i was really down and frustrated.
i'm feeling a lot better today. this thread has really helped me as it's not something i can really express IRL.
we went to a play centre this morning. i made sure he had a really big breakfast and a drink in the car on the way there and he was much better. even bought him a babycino to have at the table when he started hassling me.
i ended up giving him one feed when we were there but it was actually a really decent feed so i was happy with that.
feeling much more positive today about it all. thanks everyone
ps- inlove- you are such a sweetheart, i wish you lived closer! i think we would get on so well
Completely understand how you feel. My DD2 still does it at 2, thankfully more so at home than when out these days. There are times when I want to scream when I hear "boobie couch". Like you it is fine when she has a decent feed, but if she is just mucking about it drives me batty, for some reason these days if it is just for comfort it begins to hurt me. DD1 was worse, I not sure how I survived her and am still surviving her as she is still pretty demanding.
I do think not having a lot of "me" time is part of it. DH helps with the girls at night, but it is almost impossible to get him to have the girls by himself. We have zero family support here, and some friend support. I certainly think my tolerance of the boobie demands would be much better if I had a few more breaks.
i agree Astrid. i would love to just be able to sit and actually have a decent conversation with someone that i find interesting, without the constant interruptions.
Hi Ginger.
