I love my son. I really, truly, kiss him from head-to-toe, dote on his every need, race home from work in excitement, cuddle, play, giggle with, sniff his head for comfort love my son. BUT (you knew there was a 'but' coming right?) lately he is driving me crazy! I'm tired. Ridiculously tired. I have no idea why but I can barely lift my head off the pillow each day. And being a full time mummy to an 8 month old baby is not easy when you're literally exhausted 24/7.
I've been taking iron tablets (I don't eat much meat so I often get anaemic), having early nights, trying to eat better, keeping on top of my medication, drinking more water.. Nothing helps!
Now, I cannot bear to be away from Cooper for more than a few hours a day so my "life would be perfect if.." dream is that I could be rich, and have a nanny. I would still be home with my baby all day but when I was tired, id just leave the nanny to it and go to bed. Perfect right?! Now, who wants to be my nanny for free...?

Selfish or Selfless?
Since having Cooper, our fur baby Lucy (cat) has become a low priority for me. What used to be my baby, the reason for coming home each night, and the one thing I adored almost as if she was a real child, has become somewhat of a problem.
The first issue is that Lucy is ALWAYS on the countertop, stovetop, sink, dining table. Nothing I do deters her. Not only is this an inconvenience, it's a hygiene issue. She walks through her poopy kitty litter and then all over my kitchen. The same kitchen that I prepare meals for my baby in.
The second issue is Lucy has become bored and destructive. She scratches furniture, carpet, couches.. anything expensive basically.
I tried allowing her outdoors to alleviate her boredom but she keeps sun-baking on the road and I know she will get hit by a car if I continue to let her outside.
I can't decide if rehoming her is selfish (I have a real baby now so I don't need you anymore) or selfless (you deserve a better home where you will be loved and appreciated).
I don't know what to do??!!
