When my son was born his personality was obvious from the beginning. He was always laughing, playing games, making jokes. Now thar he’s older he’s much the same (just with a few tantrums and occasional grumpiness). I thought it would be the same with my daughter. I didn’t want or expect her to be like my son but I thought we would start to see glimpses of her personality early on, as we did with him. I was really excited about finding our who she was and what she was like. Eight months later, I’m still waiting! She is still just a generic baby. She cries a lot, smiles a little, rolls about a bit, but doesn’t seem especially interested in anything and is really hard to play with and talk to. I hate to say this but it’s really boring and frustrating and sometimes I just want to give up and watch TV or something since she doesn’t seem to care whether I play with her or not. In fact most of the time she cries after a few minutes of playing/singing/reading. I feel so so so guilty about the fact that I don’t really enjoy her. I just wish she would start to develop a bit.
Did anybody have a baby like this? What are they like now?
PS Whenever I post on here I always get at least one nasty comment passing judgment on my parenting based on the little bit I’ve said. I hope this time will be different.
