My DS is 8 months and lately I’ve been feeling a little down about parenthood. It’s not as rewarding as I thought it would be so far. He just doesn’t seem to care much for me at all and doesn’t interact with me much. I guess I just thought by now, I would be feeling the love back which I think is/will be the best thing about being a parent.
He’s just happy playing by himself and doesn’t need me to keep him entertained at all. Feel a bit useless. Then when I just let him play with his toys, I feel guilty I’m not playing with him. It’s hard to try and interact with him when he’s just not bothered and wriggles to play with his toys. I do try my best and talk to him all the time when changing nappy, feeding, reading books etc. Is it ok for him to just play by himself? I worry he likes his toys too much (rather than human interaction).
