My baby is 10 months old and I’ve had so much guilt ever since she was born….guilt that I am not giving my older child the love and attention she needs. It’s just so hard balancing everyone’s needs. My days are spent feeding everyone, getting snacks, cleaning up, diaper changes, naps, etc etc and maybe trying to make a couple phone calls or get a few things done in between. I don’t sit down and play with my older child like we used to, and my patience is really lacking with her too…I’m just so exhausted and depleted all the time. I get frustrated more easily and just don’t give her as much “mama time” as she needs. The baby takes a lot of my time and attention. I feel so bad, and quite sad too. I just went into my 6yo room while she was asleep and whispered “I love you” into her ear while tears streamed down my face. Has anyone else felt this? When did things get easier?j
