I do. I love her so much but we are struggling at the moment. She's up at 6.30 and has no real nap anymore (if she does she goes to sleep way to late so then DH and I don't get an evening) and I'm just finding it hard to fill the days. We have had play dates three days this week two of them were at mine, love having people round while they're here but now my house is a mess and that gets me down. Today we have been swimming and am thinking of going to the library later and the shops. Trouble is no matter how much I try to drag it out mind of these activities take that long ! It feels so boring and relentless some days and I'm struggling now. I'm almost wishing the time away until I go back to work (when DD starts school am studying now). I try to get DD to play with her toys and things so we can have a quiet day and I can get some things around the house done but she always wants me to play with her. So to get anything done I have to get her to watch TV and I know she's watching more than she should. She's such s lovely little thing I know how lucky I am but the monotony of it sometimes is soul destroying. I feel guilty and rubbish. Anyone in the same boat and got any tips ? Sometimes I think I should just have another baby so she could have a playmate but the thought of that makes me go cold, it's hard now but infinitely better than it was even a year ago. DD is 2.4.
