I feel like a really lousy mother.
I have this beautiful year old baby, he's what I live for, yet I have no idea what to do with him. We play with his toys but he gets bored with the same-old things, and I have no idea what to do next. We go out about once a day, to town or groups etc, but have no friends locally so when we are at home we are at home alone.
I don't want to go back to work, I would miss him terribly, but when we are meant to spend time together I have no idea what to do to entertain him. He hates me moving away from him, so doing housework and things are hard as he won't play by himself.

I want more children, but I'm worried I'm not even coping with this one. I'm worried his speech and development won't develop very well as I don't know if I am doing enough with him. Would it get easy with more than one? Would they help entertain each other?

I just don't know what to do

I think (and I'm no expert) that your ds just expects more from you than other family members as he's with you so much more. Other people don't have to work as hard because seeing them is a "treat" to him, and thereby entertaining in itself IFSWIM?

Don't beat yourself up about it, you're not a lousy mother at all.
