Hi,
This is my first post and I haven't told anyone how I feel, so I thought I would test the waters with an anonymous post and seem what you think.
I have a little boy that is 7 months old, sleep well has 2 naps a day and eats 3 times a day. But..... I really don't like being a mum, I hate how mundane, tedious, repetitive and boring it is. LO is quite a difficult baby, he gets frustrated very easily, bored quickly and wants me to sit in front of him all day and pass him different toys. He wakes up crying, I go in to say hello and give him a toy whilst I go and get his bottle, and he is in full meltdown by the time I return 2 minutes later! After his bottle he is happy for 20mins of me constantly playing with him. Then another meltdown whilst I prepare breakfast, eats and he is fine. This basically continues all day :-(. Sometimes I do shout at him usually "What?!!!" As he has had a long nap, has a full tummy, dry bottom and he is still screaming?! It is driving me insane! I'm hoping when he crawls he will be entertained for longer than a couple of minutes but I really don't enjoy this.
I have a few friends with babies and they can plonk them on the floor with a toy and they are happy for ages, hey sit back enjoy their coffee and talk of how they can't bare the thought of leaving them when they return to work. I smile and nod, whilst thinking I cannot wait!!
Shouldn't I be bursting with love and thinking everything is cute? I spend more time frustrated, and upset and counting down the minutes until he is in bed. :-(
