Everyone says that it's harder to be pg with a toddler than to care for newborn and toddler. DD is very trying atm except when she watches TV, and then it's impossible to communicate with her....
She is fighting back about everything I ask her to do, I am constantly having to say if you don't do x then no tv/bedtime story/smoothie etc.
Really can't see this improving with arrival of baby. How did you find your toddler changed once baby arrived? Am just not sure how I will cope with disciplining DD while baby is new and I'm feeling hormonal and protective. Also very worried about dd trying to hurt new baby - which every toddler seems to do at some stage. How to stay calm and be firm but not have the red mist come down?!
