Have just reached for the wine after a day of playing, Playing, PLAYING!!! Well, trying to avoid it if I'm honest.
Some days I can't get into the groove of one to one with my son. I have this glazed feeling and all I want to do is Google really unimportant stuff in a trance like state.
Then I feel guilty that he is an only. But tonight I suddenly thought. 'I wonder if mumsnet has an only child section'. And here you are.
Have already wept at some of the threads as it so describes how I feel about only having one child (basically did not want to put our little unit through extensive IVF to provide a sibling). Quite regular guilt trips about this especially as ALL my circle of friends now have more than one and when I see the siblings interacting it makes me want to cry.
Most of the time I am a really good Mum and sometimes I am average. Rarely I am a crap one.
Today I have been crap. TV has been on and when it hasn't I have been trying to engage him in stuff I need to do, which basically makes the jobs that much more arduous. Which makes me really crabby.
Anyway, my little darling is now in bed. Tomorrow is another day and now I have found 'One-child families'. Hey-ho!
