How to entertain baby. Constantly?

Just how?! I can’t even go pee without her crying cause she’s not getting entertained.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

If your shit husband is around to critique, why isn't he holding/feeding/playing with his baby?

Cause his “hobbies” are more important.

Let me guess, one of those is cycling

Others may disagree but I really don't think babies need entertaining 100% of the time. If you need to wee, go and wee. As long as the child is safe from harm so what if they whinge for a minute whilst you wee.

I agree.

I'd remind your DH he'll be spending a lot less time on his hobbies and be entertaining his own child 24/7 half of every week if you split over his attitude.

Ah so your baby is crying because her father, who she randomly sees around, is ignoring her when you go off to the loo or anywhere else.

The problem isn't you and the baby but the dick that is your husband.

She’s almost 7 months.

Babies can cry and don't need entertaining all the time.

Thankfully you can get rid of shitcunt husbands.

You can also leave him with the baby for a day and see how long he lasts without a pee.

But he'd have more sense than to be a martyr. He'd have a pee.

I agree with you!

Really the more you do to entertain them, the less likely they will be to learn to entertain themselves! Let them wings for a little while, as long as they are dry, not hungry and they aren't in danger then do what you need to do.

Just go for a pee.

It's perfectly ok.

Ignoring the dh issue

mine at that age liked board books, pan and wooden spoon, hey duggee. If you rotate the toys there’s always something fresh to play with.

loveandwarmth · 02/01/2023 19:55

Is she trying to crawl? My DS2 was a frustrated monster when he was trying to crawl. He got so much easier when he figured it out.
Go for a wee. Ignore/ leave DH. Does he get to wee in peace?
