Tag team parenting is totally the way to go!

At 14 months T is in that phase where he’s too old to be stuck in his playpen or high chair for long but too young to really play properly by himself much either so I can empathise. I think blogging is a big part of my ‘me time’ too. I didn’t blog when I was at home after having E and I think having that regular social interaction without the pressure of getting to playgroups for specific days and times has made maternity leave much nicer. Thanks for commenting.

We didn’t have a lot of money back then, or a support system, and my husband worked horribly long shifts, so when he would give me time for myself it was wonderful.

I guess blogging is my me-time! My biggest problem is getting my toddler to do things on her own whilst I am with her at home. She is slowly getting better now she does some hours of nursery, but it usually works that the second she realises my attention is on something other than her, she does everything she can to drag my attention back to her. I’ve spoken to a friend about it who has two daughters, both of whom she and her husband have parented the same. One is just like my daughter and the other is the polar opposite. Guess its the whole nature / nurture debate rearing its head!!
