I'm such a bad mom!
This working from home arrangement is not working out so well.
I'm using the TV as a babysitter!
I don't know what else to do! I have a conference call scheduled for.. um, now (waiting for them to call) and Blair won't stop fussing! She must know I need to work, so she won't nap. I put her down when I was on the phone earlier and the person on the other end could hear her howling away (when I went to check on her she stopped yelling and just smiled...)
So I put on "Bambi," stuck her in the bouncy chair and she's been quiet since. (Oh no! Bambi's mom just got shot! Now I'M going to cry!)
Re: I'm such a bad mom!
Oh, and it doesn't make you a bad mom! Sometimes we just have to do whatever we can to get through the day. A little tv every once in awhile isn't going to hurt her.
sigh. I asked my mom once to come by and keep an eye on her while I banged out a few to-do items, and she was like oh, why don't you bring her over here? Because that's not easier, mom!
A mother's helper is not a bad idea... a friend of mine did that once a week and it worked out well for her.
ok, so not only do I plop her in front of the tv,I don;t secure the seatbelt on the bouncy chair.
I hang up from my conference call to discover that my child is climbing off her chair! She's sideways, with both feet firmly planted on the ground, and is leaning on the chair preparing to let go! I'd have been excited to see her trying to "stand" but for the fact that when she let go chances are she'd launch herself onto the hardwood... and that was horrifying! and she'd pooped and it leaked.
i hang my head in shame
