Help! Overwhelmed!

DS1 is 2.5. DS2 is 10 months. I was doing okay when ds2 was a baby. But now that he is up mobile, I am having a really hard time. I feel like it is non stop. All I do all day long is meet one's needs and then I meet the other's needs it and never get even a moment for myself. On top of that, they are both very needy and whiny kids. How do you cope? Please give me some suggestions. I feel like I am absolutely about to lose it. And ds2 never even naps.

Are you a SAHM? I had a babysitter once a week for 3hrs last year for my sanity. I would go get a pedicure or run errands without the kids or even take a nap etc. I don't do it anymore because DD is in preschool 5 days a week so I get a break everyday. It really helps to know that you can look forward to a break each week.

In case you are still following....my boys are a little further apart than yours, but I totally agree with the pp. When my son was 2.5 I started him at the YMCA preschool (swimming lessons included) It made a world of difference! You need you sanity, I've totally been there. I promise it gets better! My boys are now 6 and 3.5 and it's so much better. 6yo in school, 3.5yo in preschool and baby #3 due in a couple months :-)
