C, just saw your reply.
Yes! I'm afraid to keep posting on here for fear that you all may find me annoying, but it's just TOUGH parenting times right now for me. I guess it just feels like BOTH my girls are just really in a tough phases right now, all at that same time! One, I can't put down, which makes it near impossible to adequately discipline and spend time with the 3 y.o. I found myself in a puddle of tears yesterday on my kitchen floor, talking to my mother, who talked me through it. And i'm sure the sleep depriv. doesn't help. Thanks for the support!
Things will be fine, just need to get through this rough patch.
Re: MrsTony
I've shed plenty of tears!! No one will find you annoying and if they do (which is unlikely) then they can choose whether to reply or not. You aren't posting anything that the rest of us have gone through at one time or another. I think the sleep deprivation makes it worse for sure! It goes in cycles for me. Sometimes we're good and then we have a night like last night where E had such a temper tantrum like you cannot imagine. Kicking and crying. It was awful.
Try to get out a little bit for yourself so you can come back refreshed. Can your sitter come while you go get a pedi or something?
