It’s been a while since my last post.

What can I say? Parenting is hard work.

My nearly 10-month-old is a high-need baby. He isn’t happy unless he is being carried and he hates his sling now so for most of the day he’s propped up on one of my child-bearing hips as I frantically try to do the housework, cooking and laundry one-handed. He sleeps for not longer than 15 minutes and I really need that time to rest my arm.

So this is my life at the moment. Oh he does manage to get onto the floor and crawl around for a little while but my respite is short as the minute he sees me, he lifts up his arms and cries as if he has been abandoned. I’ve been through separation anxiety with the older 2 but this is something else or it’s just so much more intense.
I hate to admit it but we are getting to the stage where I am getting annoyed. I just need a good half hour of uninterrupted time where he isn’t crying or needing me so I can do for my 2 1/2 year old or just do for myself. This is spirit breaking work. I thought I was an ok mum and here comes this adorable little creature who is so difficult to please.

Duas (prayers) would be greatly appreciated :)
