I'm a bad mother. One of our pets is dying in my lap and while I always immediately deal with Gavin's REALLY high needs, I just almost yelled at him because I was sick of him pulling on my leg and whining for attention, when he's been in my lap (or crawling on me, or whining at my leg when i was on the toilet) all day long until he fell asleep for his 15 minute nap 25 minutes ago and I put our pet in my lap to try to warm him up more.
I KNOW at 12.5 months he doesn't understand that the boy is really sick and needs to be in my lap, which makes me feel even more guilty for telling him to play with his toys. (Which is just met with more whines and cries)
I know it'll get easier when he gets older, but at this point, I'm ready to just cry. I feel like I'm neglecting him AND neglecting my poor little boy.
edited because he decided to instead hit the laptop instead of pulling on my leg
