Feel like bit of a bad mummy....

We've spent the afternoon pretty much in the sofa!

We were out all morning at the park so that was good.
But we have woken up from our nap with my back being totally crippling and Tobes being the biggest grump on the planet!

Tried t take him outside this afternoon, but he just didn't want to know!
So I gave up and we have had dinner on the sofa watching cars and playing on the iPad!

I tried to get him to play.... But he was just not having it!!

Am I bad mummy??

This is us now

Omar is watching Mickey club house & I'm on the iPad

We're lying on the sofa in his play room.

I don't feel guilty as we do a lot throughout the week, I love it when we have a relax time at home doing nothing

Thanks hon, that's made me feel better! We do do lots together, so I suppose one afternoon off every so often is ok!

We have many afternoons like this. We'll usually have a big fun filled day of the Zoo or something and then the next day will just be a park and chillaxing watching TV, snacking, and playing on the iPad. Lol. if your a bad parent then I must be horrendous! Lol.

Your not a bad mummy at all. This is how how we spend most afternoons. We usually do something or go somewhere in the mornings as we have more time. And then chill out in the afternoons.
Its nice to have a relaxed afternoon. I wouldn't want to be out allday, so I'm sure LO wouldn't either.
And if LO wasn't happy, I'm sure you would know about it.

Your not a bad mum in the slightest Hun

me and Alfie always go out in a morning to soft play, shopping or swimming, come home and relax or go to the park for an hour. I know that if we were out all day everyday Alfie would go nuts, he loves to have a chill out time in the afternoon playing with all off his cars and watching abit of cbeebies, it's just like us really we all need to have a chill out xx

Thanks ladies, glad I'm not the only one!

We always eat our dinner on the sofas in front of the TV!........ Me and OH are active/healthy people, in to fell running and hiking etc. We expect Tom to lead an active lifestyle and doubt he will end up how all the researchers say (short attention/overweight etc) because he eats his dinner on the sofa watching TV!!

I wouldn't worry x

we tend to go out morning or afternoon, sometimes a bit of both, but we do tend to spend some time chilling watching a bit of tv. So today we met up with SIL this morning and then after her nap she went in the garden for an hour then it started raining so we chilled and she watched some cbeebies before I prepared dinner. I try not to feel guilty as I do take her out at least once a day
