Right, I know having a baby is never easy, but this is getting silly. Everybody that comes round omments on how much hard work my DD is and how they get tired just watching me etc etc.
I need to change something, or I am going to go mad! Please help me to do something right!
DD gets so bored, and wont sit and play with anything or anybody. She wants to be constantly doing something very exciting like being lifted in the air or jumping around. She can crawl, but very raily goes down on the floor for long without wingeing. She doesnt sleep well, which doesnt help and we are trying to address the sleep issues, but even if she has slept, she isn't "happy"
She will go from one extreme to the other. She is very very smily when she is seeing new people and new things, but as soon as we go back home, she is miserable. I work as a nanny at the moment, on an as and when needed basis, and now prefer working to being at home, as at least DD is happy as she has different toys, children to watch etc.
I am also pregnant again and extremly tired and have morning sickness all day, which is why I am so down about this at the moment. It is at the point where we spend hours walking outside, to the shops etc, because DD is quiet when walking and I need to get away from crying! She has tonnes of toys, but isn't interested.
She is happy when she has food in her hand to make a mess with, or when she is in the bath. Other than that, she wines all day when we are at home!
I can't have 2 babies like this! Please tell me where I have gone wrong her so I can try and change this before next DC comes along!
