Anyone else with two kids feel this way?

Question

Sometimes I feel like a first time mom again. I’m definitely more confident with my second and know some tricks, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed with two. Like I’m planning a small trip to target with both kids to get out of my comfort zone and I keep analyzing every aspect- getting out of the car, handling a melt down, paying. Anyone else still getting the hang of it?

Answer

Kudos to you mamas I do not and I repeat I do not plan to take my 2 year old and my 1 month old baby out by myself anytime soon. The good is that my mom is here to help me and when she’s gone I’m thinking I’ll be planning everything around the time my husband get out of work. 
My 2 year old is fully potty trained and always has to go to the bathroom I can’t deal with that and a newborn.

Answer

Yes! With my two i always feel overwhelmed. I always feel like i have so much to do just to even get out the house and into the car it makes me not even want to go out right now! I’m so unorganized right now! Slowly making my way back to being organized with them. But it will get better that’s what i always tell myself.

Answer

I feel the same, but with 3 kids lol. I dread getting out because I feel like I still haven’t figured out how to with my 3 kids. Specially because I had a c-section and can’t lift my 20 month old.

Answer

I have a few things planned taking both by myself (17 months and 3 weeks now). I’m going to wearing the baby and put the other either in a cart or stroller. I’ve been out with both, but my husband has been with me, but his paternity leave ends today and I’m not going to be cooped up in the house all the time

Answer

Yess!! I’m the exact same one of mine is 21 months and other is 1 month old. I stress before I take them out especially on the bus and my 21 month old loves a good paddy and to run off. I hope it gets better and easy to get out and about on our own.

Answer

Girl I feel you! I have a 3 year old who is perfect! Taking her out is the easiest thing in the world! Then we have a one yea told foster son who was born at 23 weeks so he’s more like a 10 month old with the muscle tone of a 6 month old. He can’t sit up independently so it’s super tough taking my three out in public by myself. I’ve done it a couple times. What helps is to wear my youngest daughter(one month old) and put my son in a stroller while having my three year old either hold the stroller if it’s crowded or she can walk free next to me. It gets easier mama I promise!

Answer

I have an almost 2 year old and a 1 month old. My saving grace has been having a really good diaper bag that can hold all the stuff I need for both kids. I also have a leash backpack for my daughter since she's a runner. I can put a couple snacks and small toys in it for her as well but it makes it so I don't have to chase her when she doesn't want to be in the stroller. I also use a double stroller with a huge basket for going to stores. When I go grocery shopping I baby wear and put my daughter in the cart.
