But yeah, we all feel how you feel :)MummyKhttp://mummyk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521948518439771988.post-63988462402434685812011-06-11T20:08:51.437+10:002011-06-11T20:08:51.437+10:00I feel the same way sometimes and i think its just...I feel the same way sometimes and i think its just the age - Munchkin is 2, my Flynn is almost 18 months.... i think we appreciate their inquisitiveness ( which is why being out and about appeals.... ) but they're at any age where their " sit and play " skills are quite developed enough to keep us interested for long. <br />My Flynn is either going a million miles a minute, moving from one thing to another, and to try and keep up just does my head in; or he wants to sit and do the same thing over and over and over and over... and you get the point.<br />I dont think it makes either of us bad mothers, it just makes us human. And intelligent humans at that. I think the effort we put into fostering our childrens intelligence and curiousity, and the fact that theyre both affectionate, well behaved little men, speaks more to our mothering skills than too much tv time does...Amy@New Adventureshttp://www.amywellsblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521948518439771988.post-72395420497489596692011-06-11T15:36:29.142+10:002011-06-11T15:36:29.142+10:00I could of written this post.

I think it is completely normal for mums to feel this way- at least that is what others have told me.<br /><br />Someone once told me that if you feel guilty about letting your kids watch to much TV or for not playing with them enough (in your eyes) then it is okay because bad mums wouldn`t even feel guilty or bad about it.<br /><br />My older one watches too much dvds as well- to be honest I am kind of used to it now. I have two kids and no help during the week with the boys as hub comes home from work usually after 10pm. If I have to put a dvd on for some sanity I do it.<br /><br />Don`t beat yourself up too much- from what I have seen you are a fantastic mum!Luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391030748931575341noreply@blogger.com
