My poor DS...

sejabernathy

I feel HORRIBLE b/c I am so exhausted (this pg is just wearing me out) and he is perfectly content with watching his dvd player for a while. I feel completely GUILTY b/c I should be running around playing with him and stuff....IDK I just feel horrible b/c I want to spend time with him but I cannot get out of bed.

*SIGH* Should I feel this bad? He is happy watching his movie and laying around but I still feel miserable. Is this normal?

I've been going through the exact same thing. I don't think you should feel bad, but I think its natural to feel guilty. My little guy gets restless and pleads to go "bye-bye." After a shower, I don't have energy to go anywhere, esp knowing it will involve chasing a toddler. We ended up increasing his days in day care. Just now I had to call a friend for help. He's hanging out at her house tonight until bedtime so I can sleep and he can get a change of scenery. Is there anywhere he can go? Friends or family who can help out? You're doing the best you can and have to take care of those LOs. Your DS will be fine and is probably perfectly content.
