I'm hoping I'm not alone here but my little boy is very demanding and requires alot of attention to keep him amused. He has lots of toys but doesnt play with them (sometimes they might amuse him for a minute or so) and just likes to wander around the house so I follow him everywhere because there are so many hazards - steps, chairs to climb on and fall off, fingers to trap in doors etc.. As a result of this the only time I get anything done in the house is when he is asleep! A small lie actually as I can now hoover (he was scared of the hoover until a couple of weeks ago). What I would really like to do is spend a little time in the kitchen but as soon as I go in there he starts hanging round my leg and crying - I dont think he likes it when I stand up as he has been so used to having me sitting down at his level for so long. I've tried the t.v which he will watch (night garden) for a short while but only if I sit with him!
Any suggestions would be great but I think what I really want to hear is that other mums/dads have the same problem!
