Can feel tears welling in my eyes just typing that title
I'm really not sure what to do. I have an 11 week old baby and I'm finding it almost impossible to get anything done with Sam. He's living out for the summer and happy as larry but I need to face up to the fact that in a few months he will need to come in and will demand more of my time.
My son is very clingy and won't sit and sleep in his pram for half an hour while I'm at the yard trying to muck out etc. I have tried timing yard visits with his naps but he just wakes up and screams and I find it far too stressful!
My husband gets home from work at about 7pm by which time I'm so exhausted after my day with baby I can't face riding and want to spend time with my husband.
I guess lack of sleep makes everything seem worse too.
Am I kidding myself hoping that things might get a bit easier as he gets older? Is it worth persevering or do I need to get real and realise I'm going to have to give it up for a while?
I'm so attached to Sam now, I'm really not sure I could sell
Loan/share would be an option if the right person came along but not sure how likely that would be.
Any experiences from mums out there? I was so determined to make things work but I just don't see how right now
