Our son HATES when you just sit on the couch and watch TV with him (he's 6 months), he likes to be held and walked around and played with. But my SO is too lazy to get his ass off the couch and will just let him scream and fuss forever until I come and take him, he even gets frustrated thar he's upset for so long. He's driving me bat shit this is easily the thousand time I've told him because guess what? As soon as you stand up or go to bring him to a toy or his bouncer/swing/play mat HE STOPS CRYING. WOW.
