For sitting here on AIBU when I can hear my dd whinging in her cot having woken up from nap but I can't be arsed to go and get her?

[Sixofone]

AIBU? Is this tantamount to child abuse? Should I be utterly ashamed of my bad mumliness? Or have we all been there done that and am I therefore absolved by default?

I've done it...only for a few mins or so though and absolved myself of guilt by saying oh well, everyone needs time to wake up properly don't they, even DS????!!

move away from mn...

Probably depends how desperately she's crying, but you said whinging not screaming so I don't think it's child abuse.

Hmmm well the whinging has turned into a roar so I'd better go fetch her

ps only for whinging/cooing - not full on cries in which case its a mad dash from the PC to his room!

wotz what are you doing here i thought you were on an MN ban???

done the same many time sixofone only for a few minutes mind whilst i finish what i'm doing - don't think anyone will call ss just yet

Ok baby happy, back waiting for someone to post a really controversial AIBU to get stuck into
