My current DS is 9 months old and dare I say it, a bit of a nightmare. So cute but sleeps very badly, eats very badly and will not be left to his own devices for a second. I keep bursting into tears and feel as though I don't even know who I am anymore.
My friend's baby was born just 5 days before and not only is he super advanced for his age, he's starting to walk and say his first words, but he also sleeps through from 7pm to 8pm and also has a nap during the day. AND he eats everything he is offered. She's even started potty training ... with success!!
Moreover, because she has so much more energy then me she spends her time be very worthy and domestic goddess slash sweet mother duck like (knitting, growing organic vegetables).
She is unbearably smug and loves the 'let's compare our babies' game and it has seriously affected our friendship. I'm actually trying to phase her out.
