Yes I know this well. That's how I end up in Ima so much ... If I get up he starts to scream and pull on my skirt. As long as I sit here doing absolutely nothing there is peace.

Ouch. I don't think my baby is spoiled and I don't feel controlled.

Ideally this is what I'd like to do but I have a hard time focusing on anything when there is crying and pulling on my skirt. My husband is better at that.
When his siblings come home he is a little less demanding. But BH he's so darn cute I don't even care too much.

Babies have no ability to make emotional decisions. As such, they’re not trying to manipulate or control you when they demand your attention. They simply are asking for what they know instinctively they need. They need a lot of love and attention in order to grow up as healthy human beings.
Really. That’s all there is to it.

I used to put them with toys in the kitchen, when I cooked etc. Or sometimes in the highchair near counter, and I would talk to them while I chop the food etc.
I did as much cleaning etc as possible when they napped.
