2 year age gap with my kiddos. Eldest is 2.5 and youngest 6mo. The youngest has gotten a bit easier as she’s aged she was very cry-y as a newborn which is normal but was distressing. She’s okay now except in the car so it’s manageable!
DS my eldest is reaching major tantrum stage and just chaos really ! All normal and I feel so bad because I feel like km so stressed because I’ve got 2 and I can’t always give him 1-2-1 attention
atm he’s needing a nap but won’t go unless I’m a car (but at nursery goes on the little matress ! Just lays down and goes to sleep😂) and it’s hiy and miss. Sometimes he goes in car then coming in he wakes, sometimes he doesn’t. Then we get to 2/3pm and it’s lots of meltdowns Over random things until early bed time
we Also get to that time and think it’s too late for a nap but I’m now at the stage of do I fob a routine off and just let him nap late go to bed late? I don’t know what to do I feel awful the days he refuses to nap and is shattered but also feel like would I be a bad mum to lose routine and let him go to bed at like 9/10 pm?
my mum said i go out too much too and never chill. We don’t have a day fully in the house we always go out somewhere at least and maybe I need to stop this? I think I need to have the odd day fully at home because we need to start potty training soon. He gets upset if we have his nappy off when he needs a wee/poo and asks for a nappy on he’s anti potty atm (but knows when he’s doing something)
sorry for the post just feel like a shit mum and trying to juggle things :(
