how often do you get the 'bad mummy' feeling?

[babyonboard]

i'm just feeling like i've wasted a whole day, i planned to go shopping, to postnatal group and do at least any housework, but failed all.
ds is almost 2 months and it's the first time i've had 'bad mummy guilt'
he slept for 9 1/2 hours last night and has slept almost all day, except for a couple of hours playing time with music and books.
i meanwhile have had a long bath with magazines, spent quite a while 'mumsnetting' and had a steak and wine lunch with one of my friends at home while he dozed away.
our flat is a real mess, i only have one sterilized bottle left, dp's work clothes are still in the laundry bin and last nights washing up is still there.
but nothing will make me get up and do those thankless tasks right now.
it's okay to not sometimes right!?

too right, we all deserve a leisurely day . Don't feel guilty

go for it cause once they start moving you wont have anytime to chill, anyway after all its not like its every day your on here is it...

my ds1 is 6 next month. i have had that feeling practically every day since he was born!!!!
your baby is only 2 months old! you are reccuperating from the birth! in the old days they made mothers stay in bed for forty days after having a baby!
and in hinduism(?)- an asian culture anyway- new mums have henna tatoos on their hands and they are not allowed to do any housework until they have faded...which takes about two months!
you are doing exactly the right thing!
now what excuse have i got for not doing anything today when the house is a disgrace, the kitchen full of dirty dishes,and the living room covered in toys?? none- but what the hell!

hehehe..having first noticed the name 'trophywife' i prepared myself for a grilling, maybe how you get to have your nail extensions done whilst simultaniously breastfeeding, ordering napies and clothes online, and mumsnetting..
phew.
still feel guilty though, but not enough obviously as i'm considering putting him tyo bed early without his bath so me and dp can have a nice diner and wine early on..
ooh those feelings are coming back now..
how can you mentally address the parenting/keeping your own identity and sanity bvalance?!

Sounds like a great day.

Let's face it, you're never really going to get a duvet day gain easily- so this is the next best thing.

Try and have one once a month I'd say!
