Single Mothers, how do you bond with your baby in the evening?
I am a single working mom of a 22 month old. It seems like our routine is we come home, i cook/clean, we eat dinner, bathtime, story, and bed. he plays in his room the whole time and is content but we dont really play together because im not sure what to do (and i'm BEAT). sometimes i lay on the floor and watch him play but i dont know what to do to interact with him. I mean i can tickle him and make silly noises but that gets old. I just want to make sure I'm bonding with him.

That's exactly what all working parents, married or single, mom or dad, do with their kids in the evening in order to bond.

Lots of hugs and kisses, play 'i spy' using colors instead of letters, colouring and puzzles on the floor, there's lots of things kids love that require very little effort, the important thing is that he feels you are enjoying his company. As long as he feels like you really want to be there with him because sometimes when your tired he might feel like a chore, you'd be surprised how perceptive they are!

its hard but theres things that you can do that might not seem a lot but they are, I would grab my daugther and just hug her and shower her in kisses, and if she went in her room I would follow, I turn on some music and clap my hands, or just move side to side while on the floor, truly anything that you can come up with will work the trick is just to think outside the norm of what is your day to day.....
