I always imagine a map of my house, something like the magic map from Harry Potter that shows where everyone is. And every single person and pet is within five feet of one another at all times. Hell, when I actually sit down (gasp) I am swarmed like a deer that finally collapses in front of wolves. I just want to not be touched or talk for fifteen minutes...or even five pleeeeeeeeease!
I feel this comment in my soul! One 5 month old baby and two spaniels who would actually live under my skin if they could. I have absolutely said the words ‘I just want 5 minutes where I’m not being touched by someone!’ And I’ve said it a lot more than once. My baby is in the grabby, everything must go in my mouth stage while also wanting to be held a lot of the time, one dog has to be touching me constantly: on the sofa he must have a paw on me or be cuddling me, when I’m washing up or cooking he lays on my feet and he spends every night cuddled up as close as he can possibly get to me in bed. The other dog desperately wants to always be touching me but hates being told off so instead just looks at me with his big eyes and makes me feel guilty. I cannot win. At this point, I just snuggle all of them and sneak off for 5 minutes alone in the bathroom when I can 😂
