The kid is bored shitless and is pining for the activity and structure he has on nursery days. She doesn’t do anything with him unless it’s of benefit to her. Without wanting to blow smoke up my own arse, we’ve all had covid this last week but my toddler recovered quicker than either of us. We haven’t lazed around all day, we’ve been up, we’ve made buns, we’ve done lots of colouring and painting, we’ve built dens in the living room, she’s helped cook every day, we’ve done some messy play in the garden, we’ve played football outside, we’ve played with her mud kitchen. At times I’ve felt like I’ve wanted to lay down and cry, just to sleep and feel sorry for myself. But I haven’t because I’m her mum, she deserved better than that and I knew it would be harder if I didn’t do a thing with her when the boredom set in. She does nothing with him but count down to when he doesn’t need engaging with.
