DS is 7.5 months. He is a lovely little boy, I'm on maternity leave so home during the day, we usually get out to a busy babies/rhyme time most days.
My house is a complete tip. I can put him in the jumperoo for all of five minutes before he's crying. I put him down with toys, turn my back to him to do something and he's crying. He naps for just about long enough for me to eat something once a day and he's crying and takes hours to go to back to sleep. I have a mountain of admin and cleaning that I NEED to do, (the admin more than the cleaning). DH works long hours and needs to be carefully instructed in what housework to do, because he's apparently fucking incapable of seeing what needs doing.
I am at the end of my fucking tether.
How do people get shit done?

Also a washing machine with 1 hr cycle and a tumble dryer have been game changing!

I think op probably got he admin and housework done and I'm sure she gets a bit more of a break now that her ds is school age ...

Stuck them on my back in a sling. A good sling can carry a 4yo without putting excessive strain on your back. I had a Tula.
