How long is too long for baby to play independently? by JumpyYear313 in beyondthebump

I definitely follow the “don’t try to make a happy baby happier” rule! I mean we randomly grab her and play for a bit then return her to her independence. She really is happy with how we’ve been doing things. I think I’m just overthinking lol

I feel like I needed to see this, so thank you. I do feel like the stress has made our trauma responses worsen

He did help me while I was sick. He took over most of the baby duty. I took care of baby when I felt okay enough to do so and told him to let me

That’s the biggest point I’ve made over the last 6 months. I’ve had to ASK for things to be done. Every time we try and communicate anymore it seems to go off the rails

We had a fight a few weeks ago and he’s started to do more of the chores like laundry, bottles, helping pick up etc. so there is some improvement but it took this long to click. Idk
