OK, so I've not been on here in a while, so I'll recap. I have post-natal depression, I'm still trying to get through that and I'm hopefully going to be referred for some cognitive behavioural therapy to help me talk through a load of stuff. I live with my DP in MIL and FIL's house with SIL. Everyone works or has college except me. DP does a few hours here and there as it's part-time but he's getting training soon so he'll get more hours and more pay.
Right! Anyway...
We have a lovely DS that's 9mo and I've got his feeding routine down pat - banana porridge with baby milk for breakfast, finger foods with water at lunch, whatever we're eating that night mashed up for tea and then a bottle before bedtime.
Because life is so much easier now that I've got him into a routine, I'm thinking of doing it for the rest of the day. Nothing seriously rigid with timers or anything, but I thought this for a structure:
8-9am is TV time, 9-11 is play time, 11-11:30 is book time, then a nap and lunch after 11:30. 1-2pm is play time/sing-along time, 2-3pm is DS time (where unless he hurts himself I'll leave him to play on his own in a safe place while I get on with any housework I haven't done while he's napping), 3pm-3.30 is book time again, then a nap and food after 3:30. 5-6pm is TV time, 6-6:30 is bath time, then it's just general playtime until a bottle and bed around half past 7.
Do people think I'm being unrealistic? I'm trying to strike up a good balance between housekeeping and play time, whilst enabling him to play on his own, and get him used to books but at the same time limiting TV.
What does everyone think? I thought I'd get a few opinions on here and please: BE HONEST!
