Am I a bad mum?

I feel like I never have enough time anymore, this is not something new I guess but I think it has definitely got worse. I have been trying not to spend as much time on the computer but I think the damage has already been done...

This is what I found after leaving sax alone for 10mins while I went and had a quick shower this morning.So now I feel guilty all over again :( Is this how he sees me? Life was so much easier before computers and mobile phones and the like.

Hope your having a happy Friday, we are off to do some drawing :)

  4. They have a instinct to go for anything and everything that they know is naughty so don't worry too much! My 2 year old likes to sit there playing with my computer mouse if I leave my lappy on the table.

  8. Well I have no doubt that you're a fabulous mother! I didn't have a computer when my children were young...and can't imagine how I could have fitted it in. Your boy is beautiful...so happy...healthy. But if you are concerned why not try a 'turn off' time from 3pm onwards...

  9. How can you feel the least bit guilty when you have a beautiful boy like Sax? Just look at that adorable face. Lucky you!

  10. I know exactly what you mean. I only work 4 days a week but we leave the house at 7.30am and don't get home most evenings until around 6.30pm. Mondays are spent with my 4yo man and I have to admit I do spend a bit of time on the computer as my "time out". I feel bad because when he asks me to play with him he always says "mummy when you are finished your work" - it's never work - it's updating my blog and chatting to friends.

    I have taken a new policy in the last week to try and stay calm and appreciate the small things in my days. I have even put this on my blog as a reminder to myself to keep thinking this way...let's see if I succeed!
