My 5 year old comes home and wants me to play dolls, do my hair, do art projects..everything at once. She’s bouncing off the walls with all this energy. Wants to touch the baby’s face, kiss her, hold her and just not give her space. I don’t want her to feel like she can’t show affection to her new baby sister but ended up kneeing my 10 day old in the head! She fussed a little but I feel terrible now too for not telling my 5 year old to sit tf down. Like I’m giving her too much slack. So now my 5 yr old is upset because I got upset.

Like how else am I supposed to freakin react? And her attitude..she's lucky I'm giving her grace because the tone she takes with me lately is of a teenager and she’s SUPER emotional. Will cry for me even being stern with her.

How do we make this transition easier?! 😩
