Hi repaid1,
I get cuddles and to look after someone, both something I really need and my OH isn't very touchy feely or vulnerable so it fills that void so to speak.
My baby gets to be ickle. He's incontinent too and through that discovered he was AB.
I love being mummy, there's an intimacy to it that I don't think you necessarily get with babysitters (I don't know, just the term isn't as intimate to me)
