How will I ever manage 2 & the terrible twos???

Brosis

DS is hitting the "terrible twos" early & throwing multiple tantrums daily.  Since I'm a SAHM, I get the brunt of his frustrations & uber fussiness.

He & Baby #2 will be 25-26 mo. apart.  We planned to have them close together, so they could be buddies.  I didn't count on DS having global nuclear meltdowns every hour though.

I'm already tired & stressed.  How do you manage w/2???

My brothers are 21 months apart the older of the two still (at 19) has a bit of the terrible twos in him. The younger is super laid back. Somehow my mom made it work even when the younger one was in the nicu for the first 3 weeks and having to tube feed him once he got home. God won't give you more than you can handle. You can do it!

Thank you!  I needed this reminder, especially after a very trying morning.

With lots of wine. I'm kidding...kind of

There are only 29 months between my oldest and youngest - just 11 between DS1 and DD, and 17 months between DD and DS2. I won't lie - the good days are amazing, but the bad days are enough to make me run screaming to get my tubes tied. But pp is right, you're never given more than you can handle. When we have a really, really rough day (which thankfully happens less and less) I tell myself that tomorrow is a new day and we get to start over.They forget by the morning and I've gotten a fresh start. I'm not perfect; I yell, I get frustrated. But they always know that I love them. You'll do great!
