Wow, have just been reading the other threads and now feel extra pathetic because I only have 1 bub to deal with. But anyway.

Do you ever have a break?

I'm with my baby 24 hours a day. No that there's anything wrong with that. But sometimes, I would just like a break. Not for a whole day or anything. Maybe a few hours a week. At the moment, I get 3 hours to myself every 3 weeks or so, when DH takes DD to his parents' house.

DD only naps while I'm BFing her, so it's not as though I am alone to deal with things while she's napping.
She's 9 months old but isn't crawling yet, so she is *terribly* frustrated that she can't get around.... which I can totally understand. I'm doing all I can to encourage movement. But for the moment, she is a grumpy little miss *all* day!

Mealtimes have gone downhill - it was hard enough getting her onto solids to begin with. Now she isn't happy in the highchair most of the time. She turns bright pink with fury, gets an absolutely *murderous* look in her eye and tries to rip her bib off! Which I must admit, in hindsight, looks gorgeous, but at the time it is so not funny. So we often have some meals on the floor, without a bib...

I get jealous of mums whose babies can feed from bottles! It would be so nice if she could just take a bottle feed every so often.

I'm jealous of mums who have help from their family members!

I'm jealous of mums who have babies with easygoing temperaments!

DD has always been quite volatile... She has been alert from the git-go. I love her to pieces, but it would be so nice to have a break.

Thanks for listening
