My DS will be 4 in a few weeks. He is the only child. I am going to be honest with you, I don't like beind a mother, I am mid 20's, married to a great man. My dh works from 7am till 7pm, that time he is away and I am alone with my ds is horrible at times.
I plonk him in front of the telly, while I do something else, even if he asks me for a drink, i tut like its too much effort. I go on the internet, read mags, but do not do anything really with my ds except maybe take him to the park.
I have such a loving son, but lately he is really playing up, I know its because he wants some attention from me, but I am not interested in giving it. I often read these posts and probably expect some nasty replies.
I always wanted children, but motherhood is not what I expected it to be.
My sister has ds one evening a week, and whenever I can palm him off on someone to get time alone I will.
I am tearful on times and wonder what my darling little joshua has done to deserve a mother like me, I often try hard to be a better mum, but always slide back into old ways.
I could do with your advice and help
