Anyone else drowning???

Question

I have a 12 week old and a 20 month old. I literally feel like I am drowning today. Everyone needs so much attention. And the baby isn’t sleeping and is extremely fussy. Up all night and all day. I keep getting very overwhelmed: my 20 month old cries when the baby cries now because she doesn’t understand why she’s upset. Someone tell me it gets better..

Answer

I feel your pain with my toddler who will be 2 in December and my almost 3 month old. Overall she had adjusted well but some days are rough and the two definitely seem to feed off each other when it comes to meltdowns.

Answer

Your not alone... I have a 2 year old and 3 month.  It’s certainly a challenge! Thank God for my husband and 14 year olds help. Besides that, our families do not help at all. Sometimes I feel like I want to pull my hair out, but my heart is full at the same time.

I’m with you, my oldest just turned 2 last week and my 12 week old has been super fussy. My 2 year old has been throwing so many fits idek what to do anymore🥲

Answer

I’m with you. I have a 15 week old and my daughter just turned 2 last month. Some days I just want to cry. My toddler keeps getting sick from daycare and she has been home and miserable way too much for me to mentally handle. The baby got his first cold last week from her and he was a disaster for a few days. He is still horrible at night from it. 
There was one day in September that I was feeling very ambitious and went to go pick something up about 20-30 minutes from home. My toddler had snacks and my baby seemed like he would nap in the car. I thought we would be fine. NOPE! They both started screaming as soon as I was too far away to turn around. I pulled over and fed the baby in a parking lot while my toddler just kept saying “more car” and asking me for things we clearly did not bring. I literally had a panic attack in that parking lot and was hysterically crying. I didn’t think I would be able to drive us home. I somehow made it home and had a white claw on my deck while they napped. I don’t take them far places anymore by myself. Maybe one day, but I feel like I’m traumatized now. 
However, I do feel like we have turned a corner in the last couple of weeks in terms of my toddler’s behavior. She has been much more patient with things and has been listening a lot better. I’m hoping this is a good sign! Hang in there mama! You are doing a great job and this shit is tough!! If all you do is make it through the day, then that is a win! 💜
