awww, don't feel awful! I'm so sorry if I made you feel guilty or anythingChat Icon

I feel really bad nowChat Icon

You didn't do anything wrong, you were just doing what you need to do to make it through the day.

Mommies are all different, just like each baby is different. For sure every mommy on here as done, yelled or did something that they regret or felt guilty about with their kids. I know i have a ton of times!

YOU ARE A GREAT MOMMY and DON"T THINK OTHERWISE!!!!!

I missed the post, but I wanted to give you hugs! We always will second guess everything we do for our kids. Everyone does things differently. It's okay! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I wouldn't beat your self up over it. I let my ds crawl almost all day long, but there have been times that he was in his jumparoo for over an hour, or I let him play in his crib for awhile when I'm doing laundry or something. If they're unhappy they will let you know. Chat Icon Through out the course of being a parent you will learn new things or teach someone else new things. I have 3 kids and sometimes I feel as if I'm still learning. Anyhow get that boy of yours on the floor to start exploring and knocking over all of your stuff Chat Icon

Don't feel bad..I didn' see the post and I do not know what happened but I will tell you--both my boys know how to crawl but any free time they spend running after me in walkers mostly,
If they crawl its in the evening when I can really sit or my dh can and its very limited because of the fact I have 4 kids and two very large dogs.
Two almost 9 mon olds crawling on hardwood floors all day after me...oh no.
They are just fine.
My dd never crawled. She just got up and walked.
If your dc was not screaming about being bored and confined I am sure they are just fine.
U are a good mom.no mommy jail.

Re: So now i feel like the most incompetant mommy ever...

Don't feel bad, I feel the same way as you do. We made our den also be his playroom, gated it off, and give him free reign of that room only. I cannot have him following me around the house because I feel that there is just too much he can get hurt on at this stage (he is 1). We tried putting those foam things on furniture corners and he literally pulls or bitest them off. And even with babyproofing drawers, etc., we have a ton of furniture and shelves and I just feel like if he slips and falls, he will really get hurt on something. Maybe that is me being paranoid but I cannot spend my day following him around the house saying "No," I'd rather sit with him in the playroom and play. Once he gets a little older and understands more, then we will re-evaluate the situation.

You are not a bad mommy. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about anything you do for your child. We are all on here to learn and share ideas Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
