Am I being stupid?

Am I being crazy?

So my little boy is almost 18 months. He's only child so far. TTC number 2.. bit of background. Hubby is super chilled out laid back person, kinda quiet at times but is great round kids and acts the big child. I'm the total opposite in all those areas. I try to be funny and it often works but sometimes not. So I read to him and sing to him and copy what hubby does and act silly which baby loves and baby loves being twirled or spun around or grand old duke of York where I lift him (March him) up to the top of the hill and back down again and he loves it. He does have fun with me but more with daddy

But sometimes I admit I'm lazy and don't want to play for ages or I run out of breath as I'm a tad overweight and this heat isn't helping and then I see my hubby giving so much and see baby laughing and I feel excluded but at the same time can't always muster up the energy or whatever to do tons myself.

Am I crazy/over thinking

You're not being crazy at all! Sometimes it's difficult to muster the energy to play all the time. But you have your own special but different relationship with your son, I'm sure your hubby sees you doing things with him and thinks 'I wish I was like that with DH'. Comparison is the thief of joy and all that.

If you are getting out of breath, are you doing something to help with this OP?

I basically pretend to enjoy playing. The only stuff I genuinely enjoy is crafty things, board games, reading to her, chatting, taking my DD out and about, films etc.

I HATE Role playing, dolls, teddy’s etc.
