How much Paw Patrol...

[shwarmachameleon]

...is too much Paw Patrol for my addicted 4 year old?

I was up ALL BLOODY NIGHT with my cluster feeding 4 week old. 4yo had a muddy morning at forest school and playpark while I waited for an on-the-day GP appointment and got my poor arse prodded and poked to confirm that yes I do have both piles and a fissure. Hurrah.

We've been home 2 hours now and have been watching Paw Patrol almost constantly for that time. Short break for lunch. Baby feeding again. Nipples on fire. Arse throbbing. DH not home until 7.

WIBU to just give up attempting to parent responsibly and spend the rest of the day on the sofa curled to one side and cheering on Marshall and Zuma et al?

Sounds like a plan...no judgement here! for you and hope things start to improve soon!

Under those circumstances no amount is too much - but I do worry that it will drive you slowly insane by 7 o’clock. Is there any other program he might consider watching?? Or even a film?

I might be able to make a case for a movie. Or books; I could probably read some books without moving. Usually 4yo is great at playing independently but today it is essential that Mummy is involved in EVERYTHING.

You have a 4 week old. That is still survival days. 4 year old has been to school this morning doing stimulating and productive things. There’s no such thing as too much tv this afternoon!
