She never seems to do anything by herself with the toddler, but does absolutely loads by herself without him. It makes no sense. She gives it the biggun about being brave and taking him for a coffee by herself, pull the other one Amelia, you're happy to stroll around town for massages and pedicures and go the cinema by yourself so let's no pretend you're conscious about taking him out when it's just the two of you.
I live the same town as her and there is loads she could do. The library do free baby bounce and rhyme sessions where she could meet other mums, the leisure centre do baby float sessions and the local park do buggy walks. All a couple of pounds or free.
She just pretends she needs all this time away from him to recharge and fill her cup, when she doesn't actually do much. For me I found it much easier at this age to be out and about keeping them busy, they get bored inside all the time and it was so much better for my mind to be mixing with other people.
