to want to keep ds all to myself?

[minime87]

After talking with friends today I'm starting to think we need to get out more!!..
Dp left when I was 5m pregnant and it has been just me and ds ever since. Ds was born prematurely not long after dp left and spent a little while in a special care unit before coming home. Now he is 10mo and our days are spent mostly playing together at home or at the park at the moment, we do have friends/ family/ other children over a couple of times a week usually. Now that my mat leave is over I have managed to get some night shifts so that ds is asleep while I'm gone as I just don't want him to be with anyone else if I can help it!? When I said today that I probally haven't spoken to another adult since saturday night at work (which doesn't bother me in the slightest) everyone looked at me like I had two heads?!... Please tell me its ok that I spend all my time playing cars and watching cbeebies?!

YANBU at the moment so long as you are both happy. It won't be long before he starts to need more contact with other children his own age and when that happens you'll need to make the adjustment yourself even if you don't feel like it. You'll find that when he's an older toddler he is happier and easier to manage if he has a couple of hours running around giggling with someone his own size, which will require you to be friends with the mum/dad/carer of someone his size!
