Today was my first day alone with newborn dc and toddler. I went to playgroup where I bf in public for the first time, went to a couple of shops to pick up a few bits we needed. I washed my hair, did a load of washing, emptied all the bins, cleared away all nappies from the bedroom, fed us x3 and cleared up, wiped down kitchen surfaces and ran the dishwasher, emptied recycling, renewed car insurance due tomorrow, sorted small pile of paperwork in the kitchen, had dinner ready for DH when he got home to a clean and tidy house. I was really quite pleased with myself.
Toddler and I had been playing shops and reading books while I cluster fed baby, so on the living room floor was a till, a beanbag, some books and a puzzle we did earlier we had not yet put away.
His first words? 'We really have to teach him to tidy up after himself, I don't want to get home after a day at work to toys everywhere'
Tomorrow when baby sleeps (for 15 mins at a time) I am going to sit down and put my feet up. Any more comments like that and he can go and stay in a hotel.
And yes, I know I let him behave like this but I have argued about it so much I haven't the energy anymore.
