| It's really okay to sit her in her play pen every now and then. If it help you feel better and she will actually stay where you sit her, place a playmat or blanket in the room that you are cleaning and let her play. But again, putting her in a play pen is fine. I use to sit my son in an excersaucer when I cleaned the house. ↑ |
| Thank you, for making me feel better. I feel so guilty some times and my family thinks I am over reacting about it. I want so much to give her the best educating interaction but I come to realize that to do that you would have to let everything around you drop. I am studing to be a teacher and all the books you read stress the importance of learning from day one but I am starting to realize the authors of those books must not have kids because what they expect you to do is not feasible. ↑ |
| I did the same thing with my first child. I even asked my mom to sit him while I cleaned. LOL. My mom and all her friends would laugh at me. It is pretty funny. You will get accustomed to it. Play baby music or nursery rhymes for him. Or Beethoven. ↑ |
| Oh my I have done the same thing recently. When anyone would come to visit I would place her with them while I cleaned. They laughed ↑ |
| I have to do the same things with my kids. I have to put a long movie on for my 2 year old when I need to make a phone call in silence. I think it is ok as long as it isn't all day and all the time just for a short bit. May even be good for them to spend time just playing by themselves. ↑ |
