My best friend is one of these people that ‘doesn’t have the time to shower’ for weeks on end. I had 2 under 2 and I still showered and got dressed everydayWow wasnt expecting so many to quote methanks that's exactly what I thought. While my husband is on pat leave he'll be happily cuddling baby while I perform basic human needs and when he goes back to work I fully expect to be able to quickly shower while baby is in a bouncer. Why is she so overdramatic/why is Boj so utterly crap?!
You are quite right, there absolutely is time. I still showered every morning and put my make up on and my husband was back at work 2 weeks after birth. She's making drama for nothing.Am I being a really naive expectant first time mum or something? Is there really no time to make a bed, drink some juice or even shower, especially when the other parent is at home? I know cluster feeding is a thing during the first few weeks but surely you still get 5 mins to jump in the shower? Or am I looking at things with rose-tinted glasses? Obv I have no experience yet but none of my friends who have recently had babies seem to have this issue.
Yes youll find five mins to grab a showerYou are quite right, there absolutely is time.
You will be absolutely fine - Kate just has high expectations and 40 years experience of doing whatever she pleases when she pleases. My husband took 4 days parental leave and then was back to work with me on my own 12 hours a day, plus we were living in a different country to all our family members. You’ll learn to just shower etc ninja-style while baby naps. As long as you’re not dicking around on your phone while your baby sleeps, you’ll get everything done in those gapsAm I being a really naive expectant first time mum or something?

The first few days/week or so are a bit mad - no routine at all and your emotions are all over the place making everything a bit crazy and it is a bit of a blur of feeding/changing etc with little real time to do much more. But for most people at that stage the baby sleeps a lot so you can absolutely have a shower (even on your own you can put the baby in Moses basket or whatever and put them in the bathroom with you so you can watch them while you shower etc!) after a week or so, you do start to come out of the newborn shell shock and life should start to take on more normality and over time that becomes more and more structured. Kate & Boj are completely incompetent and milking it for all its worth. Don’t take any notice of them - the way they are carrying on is beyond ridiculous and not an accurate representation at all of being a first time parent.Am I being a really naive expectant first time mum or something?

Beautifully said! It is bonkers at first but you can still meet your own basic hygiene needs.The first few days/week or so are a bit mad - no routine at all and your emotions are all over the place making everything a bit crazy and it is a bit of a blur of feeding/changing etc with little real time to do much more.

Haha yeah - how not to parent: an immature bastards guide on how to do everything wrong and completely make an arsehole out of parenting.Presume they’ll do a parenting book?
This is what makes me smileI used to put bubs in a bouncer besides me whilst I showered. In a way it’s trickier now she’s mobile. She threw her (empty) potty in the bath today whilst I was showering
Get in my son (or daughter): how to be brillennnnt parentsPresume they’ll do a parenting book?
And having to wee and poo with them just watching you. Mine literally used to pull up a little seat and chatThis is what makes me smileShe’s complaining about milky vomit and an unsettled newborn who doesn’t move ....wait until it’s the mess and vomit of solid foods and a baby who won’t stay still and hates being strapped into anything Can’t wait for the fallout from that one!
