to not want to be mum today

[Becca1818]

Aibu to want an off switch?

Ds is 14 months old. Doesn't sleep and generally has the temperament of a two year old I sure as hell hope it doesn't get worse

I've attempted to take him to the park twice today and both times he fell asleep in the car and I turned around and went home.

Is he cranky and whingey and is generally doing my head in.

Can I go back to pre-children just for one day?

You are not alone. Every parent since the dawn of time bS days like this. It gets better.

Yanbu. You probably need some time out, time to yourself and when you do spend the day doing something fun like going to the park you'll feel a bit more excited about it.

The other day I wanted to take dd out to the park but got as far as Asda because it was closer and easier for me to walk around, selfish I know but we all have those days!

[Becca1818]

Finally bed time! I just don't know where he gets his energy from! Praying for a good night!

Definitely worth the £50 a day nursery fee tomorrow!

Oh, and YANBU, I often wish there was an off switch. I really miss being 'Gwenci' and not mummy.

Ha!! I'm sat in my car in my driveway with two DC asleep in the back right now!

I really shouldn't be as my DD is 2.5yrs old and this afternoon cat nap is going to make her horrendous at bedtime but I can't bring myself to break the peace. I just can't. I'll pay dearly for this later.

I know the feeling. My DD is 12 months and will fall asleep in the Car. I used to try wake her and resettle her in the house. It always ended in disaster. So I started keeping a book and snacks/water in the car.
She will always wake up when I reach a good bit of my book ;)

[Becca1818]

I went and got my self a drive through coffee and sat on the drive for a while.

Just one of those days where nothing went to plan.

[NoMilkNoSugar]

I remember driving till DS fell asleep, then parking on the drive and having a little nap in the car myself.

[slicedfinger]

I had one of those. She would only nap whilst I walked the dog or drive round. I kept driving. Once I even found a beautiful car park with a coffee stall.

Fortunately she is 16 now and sleeps at night, in her own bed.

YANBU,

I think we all have day like this

If he falls asleep in the car could you not just keep driving? go somewhere a bit further out til he wakes up?
