 | ok, for the first time in my life I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING, tee hee.
Really I have a 4 month old and all this is very new to me. He seems to be going through a stage right now, or mabey I am just noticeing it more because I am trying to give him alone time. It seems like he was doing better, but it may just be that I am tired of haveing to give him constant attention, or mabey I was enjoying him more, heck I don't know, he seems to be going through a stage????? or I am just noticing.
Is it normal that they need 98.9% of your attention. I could just be very selfish because I waited so long and Im used to me me me. I don't know, can you give them so much attention that by 4 months they require it. I even took him to the Dr. yeasterday to see if he was teething, he said no. I explained to him about the attention and he said we are the only country concerened about this (he has many children) He said in alot of countries the woman carry thier children around for the first year. We are such a self involved gotta go society I can see how we might be more aware of a childs neediness. I don't know. I don't mean to sound like I don't love my son that is deffinatley not the case, but I cant seem to get anything done. I mean how do you have two? We planned on getting pregnant in another year but gee wiz, how could I care for a 2 year old, juggle dinner and laundry and a new born..
I have a friend who has 6 children and I am constantly compareing my child to her 7 month old. It has been setting by itself in a swing contendely since I can remember.(my son is not at all amused by the swing for any long period of time.) But one time while I was yet pregnant and that baby was about 2-3 months old it sat in the swing and cried forever while I helped her paint the downstairs, I don;t feel comfortable letting my son cry for more than a few minuets, mabey thats my problem but my Dr. said he dose not agree with letting a child cry it out. Ok am I spoiling my child.......someone just let me know if this is normal and when and at what age a child starts to content itself so I know I am not doing something wrong, or mabey I am????????????????HEEEELLLP |
