Feel like I’m failing

Katie

Juggling a 2.5 year old and newborn is no easy feat, and I feel like I’m falling short. I had a c-section 6 days ago and I can’t care for my toddler like I did before. I can tell he is heartbroken that mama doesn’t put him to bed, and he doesn’t understand why his new sister needs so much attention. It makes me sad that I can’t be the mama he’s used to right now. Tonight is the first night he has really acted out and tried to throw a toy at her. I panicked and yelled at him and of course he thought it was funny and tried again. He is just being two and adjusting to our new normal, but its hard. If you are struggling and feel like you are drowning just know your not alone. I know eventually things will get better, but for now I just need to vent and shed a few tears.
