    I spend every waking moment with DS (apart from the two Nights a week that I work 5-10pm) and we never have DS looked after.

    I have a couple of hours an evening where my wonderful DH takes over when he gets home from work. He baths him, then feeds him his night bottle and puts him to bed. DS is in bed by 7.30 each night, so after that, is our time to do whatever we like!!!!

    I spend almost every waking second with DS! DH runs his own computer business and works crazy wacky hours! DS and I go to the office two days a week to help out in any way we can but aside from that I'm a full-time stay-at-home mum and I'm loving it!

    DS has been to a baby-sitter ONCE on my birthday (my best friend looked after him) so that DH and I could go to dinner alone.

    I get a bit of time off when DH can take over and he does that as often as he can but otherwise 99% of DS's care is my responsibility but I wouldn't have it any other way. He is a baby for such a short time and I want to cherish it.

    He doesn't watch much television (only a little sport and is starting to show interest in rugby, cricket and tennis) and won't have a game console until he is old enough to earn his own money to pay for it.

    I enjoy taking him to the park and the beach and will look forward to all the fun things we can do in the future as he gets older and more capable of playing!
