My dc1 is 2 and we have 3 wk old baby. Dc1 goes to nursery and we had to keep this on or lose the place, waited over a year to get into nursery. I know that in some ways I am lucky to not watch 2 all the time 24/7 but this is our personal situation.
Anyway, feel like I hardly interact with Dc1 now. I miss my time with them so much. I'm just simply exhausted with dc2 and struggle to spend time with dd1. My DH is back to work this week so will spend time just me and both children. Am really worried about how I will cope. Dc1 needs a lot of entertainment and dc2 always feeding. Dc2 also seems to be developing colic, had 1 hour sleep last night and was up for the rest.
Anyone got any strategies? I don't want the bond with my dc1 to change and also want to develop my relationship with dc2.
