Babies: 3 - 6 Months
Feeling overwhelmed w/ two kids
I have two LOs... DS is almost 3 yo and DD is almost 5 mos. Honestly, I never anticipated it being this hard. I feel OVERWHELMED with all the running around and being pulled in two different directions. Also, DS was a much easier baby then DD is. It's a much different experience and I am exhausted. DD catnaps like crazy so I can barely get anything done and she has her super fussy moments and wakes up all night with what I think is the 4MWP. DS is in his terrible 2's and is super defiant at times, which I know is normal, but I find it so hard to deal with his tantrums sometimes. And now he is waking up super early now to boot. DH works late and long hours and I miss working so much (I'm a SAHM). I'm hoping things get easier once the baby gets older and DS and her can play together. Just needed to get that out! : )

I have a son who will be 2.5 in a month and a 3.5 month old daughter. I am taking the full one year maternity leav
I'm going thru almost the same thing, except my older DD is 4 yo, an DD#2 is 4 months. It is a stressful time, and I feel endless amounts of guilt. DD#1 watches entirely too much tv, and I have about 75% less patience for her than I used to.
