To think I own my mother?

[MichaelaS]

I took a nap this afternoon and when I woke up my mother was a whole 2 feet away from me. She is supposed to be with me AT ALL TIMES. She muttered something selfish about putting washing away, but to be honest it was so ridiculous that I just let rip with my highest pitched "I am in incredible pain take me straight to A&E now or maybe I'm just upset" scream.

She seems to think its ok to put me down to play for 5 minutes whilst she goes for a wee too. Why can't I go with her? And honestly, all this needing to eat. She is only good for making milk and sleeping on and she only let's me do that for 23 hours a day.

AIBU?

Ps I am 6 months old and very good with her iPhone

I am 6 weeks old & have discovered this hilarious thing to do which is to scream loudly for boob & then latch on & cone off straight away all whilst flailing arms & legs, pushing mummy away & protesting loudly at the top of my voice. Then, just as mummy has reached the end of her tether & is about to jump out of the window, I latch on properly & feed like the good demure baby I am.

Ps, this is even better if I do it at 2am & string it out for a couple of hours

Hello everyone, thank you for all the tips and it is good to know IANBU.

Apologies for my absence but after your advice I knew I had to step things up a level. For the last 3 nights I have been sleeping very contentedly until it is mummy's bedtime when I have woken up to play. If mummy lies me down or turns the light off I scream. I am very tired but it is worth it to keep the woman in her place.

I have also perfected the art of crying for milk when in public, latching on, waiting until her let down starts, then turning my head suddenly and letting go of the now 4 inch long nipple so it sprays milk everywhere and everyone can see. Sometimes I manage to shout as I am doing it so everyone looks round. Then I smile like butter wouldn't melt. I'm sure you'll agree I'm learning!

Maybe we should have a babynet academy for this sort of thing? :-)
