dd1 (5) says she feels cross with me most of the time. She says that I am always rushing her and forget to look after her properly because I am too busy looking after dd2 (6months). I thought I was doing ok, but shes probably right. I make an effort to spend 1 on 1 time with her and shes really involved with helping to look after the baby. We arent all that well off but we do lots of lovely things together (days out etc) and she has doting grandparents. I do struggle to get everything I need to get done in a day, and I usually fail (my house is a flipping pit!). I do moan at her to get a move on - she drives me nuts with procrastinating and not 'just-getting-on-with-it'. Ive explained to her over and over that we need to work as a team. Whats the alternative? stay at home everyday of the holidays?
How do you all get from 1 end of the day to the other and make everyone feel happy and cared for?
