Need some support...

in August 2014 Moms
i know i have been MIA for a while but life has gotten in the way of my bumping...

I really need some support right now, i feel like a terrible mom and i am about to lose my mind! My 2 yo had surgery thursday and since has entered terrible twos with a vengence! Hebis whining and crying at everything! He refuses ti go to bed and sleep, he yells to wake his brother, he wont eat mire than 2 bites of anything, i am alone almost all the time, my husband has 2 full time jobs and when he is home to give me a break i still need to keep the baby with me bc he nurses all the time....

I find my self short tempered and snappy, exhausted, overwhelmed at times, stressed, and reasy to cry my self! I am concerned about my milk supply being effected, and that i am not paying enough attention to my little one...

Someone tell me it gets better? Terrible twos are not going to last forever, and that i am not a terrible mom for being so out of my league!

Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

Baby Dust To All!!!

    I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. Hang in there.  We are all just doing our best. Take it day by day and things will eventually get better. Do you have any family nearby who can help out for a day or two? The fact that you are even worrying about being a good mom is a sign that you are.

    My 2yo does do daycare 3 days a week for 3 hours a day and that helps a ton! But he is out after surgery and he is out of routine, compounding it all!!!

    I will refrain from telling you what age 3 is like, but I hope it gets better for you!  We are all much happier in this house when we can get out and do things, so hopefully when he's recovered you can get outside and burn some energy.

    I hope getting back to routine will help your toddler's behavior and that you can get a break soon! My 2-year-old is cutting molars and has been much more of a pain than usual lately and I've been stressed due to being laid off and hunting for a new job. It sucks and I feel your pain! Daycare has been my savior. I hope a break with just the baby will help you relax!

    I'm a FTM so no advice, but wanted to tell you it will get better and I hope that some or just even one of the ideas left above will help. It's very emotionally draining worrying about being a good mommy in addition to everything else you have going on. If at the end of the day your children are fed, safe, and loved, then you have done your job. I hope life gets easier for you soon.
