my 6 month old baby is doing my head in

[carocaro]

he starts to scream when I leave the room, he is currently going ballistic in his baby gym, I pick him up and he's fine, but I just need some space from him, I feel like he has been on me since 5am, ds1 aged 5 is being so sweet and tolerant but I barely feel like I have spent any time with him all day, I have done everything and I mean everything. DH is home at 6pm after being away all week and I am going out the very second he gets in, I've had enough, I need to be away from the noise and needs of him. What I actually need is some time to have a proper poo, I feel bunged up, but it's hard to poo to the sound of screaming, what has it come too when I can't even shit in peace!

Oh dear! I know exactly how you feel! I had to do the 'tough love' thing and leave dd to cry a few times, just keep coming back to her. She soon got the message, and i got to the loo in peace

Oh dear

You sound very stressed.

Is there anyway you can get out of the house for a bit? Even with the children. Maybe put the baby in the pram and go for a walk. Or can you go and visit someone.

Ideally is there anyone who can sit with the children while you go out on your own??

Hopefully dh will be around to help you now he's back. Is he going to be going away again soon?
