Sounds pathetic I know... but I'm new to 2!
I have-
DD1- 3Y 6MO, bright, wilful, bouncy and LOUD! Constantly wants to involve me in complex imagination games and crafty stuff (I curse that Mr Maker)
DD2- 9 weeks, cries A LOT, v noise sensitive, won't sleep anywhere except in someone's arms.
Their needs are fundamentally incompatible at the moment and I'm really struggling when on my own with them. They both end up crying because I'm not meeting either of their needs. Oh, and my house is knee-deep in cr*p and dirt because I literally can't put DD2 down (not even to go for a wee).
Anyone got any tips? Or just reassure me that This Too Shall Pass? (if so, how soon )
TIA
