Should I be feeling quilty?
My lo is 6months old and enjoys spending time on her tummy. I can lie her on her blanket which is spread across the floor with her toys on. She can amuse herself with the toys and enjoys rolling over and lying on her back holding her toes. Recently she has been attempting to crawl. Im currently sat on here watching her. I do sometimes lie on the floor and play with her. Or hold her hands whilst she attempts to walk, and practice sitting with her. I also put her in her door bouncer which is loves.
I was just wondering if I should be feeling guilty, the fact Im sat on the computer watching her and not lying on the floor with her?
What do you do whilst your los are playing on the floor? all thoughts welcome xxx

I personally think that it is important for babies to learn to play on their own as well as being played with or entertained by someone.
Shes happy playing by herself....just had the the thought...'i hope she doesn't think ive abandoned her by sitting on the comp!'
lisajoy...unfortunately the nearest i get to doing housework without hubby around is loading/unloading the dishwasher when shes sat in highchair! our washing machine is in the outhouse which means going out the back door!
Thanks leapea, thats exactly what I do. xxx
my dh has just moved our tumble dryer into the conservatory for the winter (from the garage) as it was a pain as I would have to go to the end of the garden.

Dont feel guilty, as soon as he plays alone again I'll be leaving him be for as long as possible.

My LO is extremely hectic and my nan is always commenting about how in the old days they would have either been sat in the pram or highchair for most of the day.
