I work from 6pm to 430 am M-F and the rest of my family has adopted my schedule as well. So there is no post-bed time for me. And compared to when I was unemployed I have cut way back on my playing. But there is no such thing as enough attention for him so we both get very frustrated by the constent whining.<br /><br /> Now I its not all bad, we have some very good moments. For instance he loves to run mommies kitty and LaLa(mammoth) around Dalaran or anywhere really. That can last a hour or more. But he does not yet understand in a minute or that sometimes we dont want to be desturbed and to go to the other parent. Because of this I have basically given up anything besides the weekly raid. <br /><br /> More just trying to find a way to make everyone happy. He gets attention while I get to play my game also. No easy solution to that.Amellaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204439836498604486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699504258971397836.post-36408366698910231172010-04-07T09:36:17.621-05:002010-04-07T09:36:17.621-05:00Oh dude, I hear ya. My 2 year old just had a week...Oh dude, I hear ya. My 2 year old just had a week with Granny and after that it's a meltdown every time mommy has to do something that is boring like "cook dinner" instead of playing with her.<br /><br />I usually don't play computers while she is awake, but I have given her some computer-like things to play with. An old keyboard, for example. Also, there are quiet activities that he could do while you're playing. You could put a "baby table" in the computer room with drawing supplies on it.<br /><br />Still, I have to repeat, I'm pretty much unable to play while she's awake. I can do an odd item or two. If I want to do something that I can't just abandon, I have to make sure that husband is equipped to take care of the kidlet while I do that. If I'm at the computer she demands attention. Or she wants to sit on my lap and have me play cat videos on Youtube.<br /><br />Cutting back on WoW to post bedtime is hard, but doable. You will be able to get most of the stuff you want to do done - and you'll just have to abandon the more grind-y time consuming crap.Zelmaruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265518362473922478noreply@blogger.com
