sometimes I feel like a bad mom

when I wish LO would take a nap longer than 20 minutes.

anybody else?

Well my LO can barely stay awake 20 minutes but if I was in your shoes, I would totally feel the same way. I can get at least some stuff done while LO sleeps and even when he's awake he doesn't seem to need to be entertained all that much. Don't feel like a bad mom. The fact that you're worried about that at all tells me you're a great one!

I can definitely relate. I feel like some days my daughter doesn't go down for longer than 10 minutes before waking up again (unless I'm holding her, of course lol).

I say that, but then today she's slept basically the whole day and I have had to keep myself from waking her up so that we can hang out. xD I agree with PP, you're definitely not a bad mom- it's totally normal to feel that way, anyone would.

ps: I *love* your picture btw, that's too adorable!

Well that's good b/c LO sleeps the majority of the day and I was scared that I was being a bad mom for not engaging in more awake time with him.

Totally with you on this one! LO sleeps for just a few minutes and then wakes right up even though I can see he's exhausted. After many attempts at trying to get him back to sleep where ever he is, I finally pick him up & of course he'll fall asleep while I'm holding him, but then when he fall alseep, it's time for his next feeding! I feel bad saying this, but when he takes 2 minute naps and I see his eyes pop wide open, I think about that book "Go the F*&k to Sleep"! How horrible is that?!
