I don't cope with it well at all, I am a crap SAHM, just can't seem to get myself organised and stay on track. Many a day's plans getting completely thrown, bubs in clingy mood, cranky mood, just need to get her out of the house etc. Always feel as though I am behind the 8 ball "work" wise and at the same time I am neglecting her by not playing with her enough. Sometimes I do try to combine me time with play time by taking her to a play centre under the theory that she plays whilst I have a cuppa and read the newspaper. That fails though as she wants me to play with her (thanks to those parents who get on the equipment with their kids ). Just can't seem to get it right.
