Just that really. I have a just 2 year old and a baby. Got 4 hours sleep last night due to being up with first the baby and then the toddler. Could have cried when I had to get up.
Toddler was shirty all morning. Everything is a fight. Won't eat, won't sit in pram, won't put shoes on. You get the idea. Baby screams a lot too and doesn't like to be put down.
Tried to take toddler to park. He had a meltdown and was asking for cake instead of playing in park. When I tried to put him back in buggy he went crazy kicking, wriggling, refusing. Put up with this for a while but eventually lost it a bit and I hate to say I screamed at him and pinned him to the buggy to put him back.
I felt bad, although my temper is shorter due to lack of sleep I know. Then I thought should I be worried in case someone saw me screaming at him and reports me to social services or something!
I need to make sure I keep my temper with him I know, but I'm finding some days so hard with toddler and baby and no help. Especially on no sleep.
Does anyone Have anything reassuring to say or am I awful?
