AIBU to ask how much attention is 'normal'/ reasonable to give a 3 year old child? For example, is 7am - 7.30pm being pretty much entirely geared to keeping the child entertained normal? Or would some 'downtime' be reasonable at that age, as in maybe some time amusing themselves and not continually being amused by the parent? Or even just a small amount of time to be allowed to be a bit bored? The situation I am referring to is to the point where nothing else can be done when the child is around, not even having a shower or sending a text message, because they are the absolute focus of attention at all times, from jumping out of bed the second they stir in the morning, right through to bedtime.
I don't have DC so am prepared to be told that IABU, but I do have friends and family who have them and don't necessarily think that they are quite this 'extreme'. I would be interested to get more views though.
