How do you get your 13 month old to leave you alone while you are on MN?

He's driving me crazy

I only want 5 bloody minutes!!!!

(You'll note I've not been on for a good few hours!)

Give him a fiver and send him to the pictures.

Give him his older brothers' toys to play with - y'know, the ones they'll go ballistic over when they see he's got them.

I think it's what they call short term solution, though

PMSL!! I wish!

I've given him a calculator - I thought babies loved things like that but he's just thrown it down the stairs!

pen and paper/notebook? keeps ds busy for ages!!!

Chocolate/sweets/coke?-works for me every time!

Oh, bolleaux.

Phone? He can run up some hefty bills, then. Or get the fire brigade turning up at your door.

He's never 13mo already, GDG! OMG!

LOL at the question

I might feel a bit down sometimes cos I haven't got any children of my own but at least I don't have to worry about things like this.....

Lock him in the cupboard

Actually wait til he's gone to bed. Is the right answer.

I find it really hard if dd is awake (18 months) that I usually don't bother.

If I do though I have a wee rocking horse (she can't get out of) and she'll happily go on that for 5/10 minutes.

Can really only manage that long as she justs loves mummy's laptop!

Agree with trampy. Time with them is too precious while they are awake.

open a cbeebies website page and keep switching over, or have them both visible.

Hee hee!! I was only joking!! I'm not usually on here when the boys are awake!

I have to sneak into our front room (I can see her through 2 open doors playing) but as soon as my 20mo dd hears the puter turning on she runs through shouting 'E I Os mummy' (Old MacDonald on Cbeebies). That could be why I'm never on MN any more
