New Mum Desperate For Some ‘Me Time’ Spends Baby’s Whole Nap Watching Him Sleep

New mother, Rachel Frank, is at her wits end this afternoon after her 10 month old son, Sonny, has been putting on a screaming performance that would make Slipknot look like a church choir.

Frank has been counting down the clock since 10:30am, clawing her way to the 1:00pm lunchtime nap to finally get some reprieve from the little demon she birthed.

However, when The Advocate caught up with Frank at 1:15pm, Sonny’s performance was long forgotten as she watched her “sweet little angel baby” sleeping on the baby monitor.

“Naawww look at this little guy”

When pressed on her complete 180, Frank couldn’t really explain herself.

“Honestly I am at a loss too. It must be hormones because now all I want to do is wake him up and cuddle him. Even though he’ll probably scream and I’ll hate him again. Haha”

It’s understood that Frank’s experience is not uncommon, thanks to a phenomenon caused by a potent cocktail of oxytocin and short-term memory loss unique to sleep-deprived mothers. The advice of professionals is to just ride it out as best you can.

More to come.
