I have a 3.5 and 1.5yo. They're my world and the most spectacular little kids. I wouldnt change them for anything

I get so guilty sometimes and I feel like a shit mum. I feel like I'm always so stressed and anxious. Things that trigger me are clutter, housework piling up etc and then the kids being kids of their age and running around jumping etc not seeing danger

I feel so.guilyy thinking is it my fault because I struggle to manage the 2? It feels like 20 sometimes! I dont want my kids to be anxious like I've been my whole life and I get so worried they will be. My eldest is more shy and reserved and has meltdowns and I worry its my fault. My youngest is more confident and chatty etc

Is it normal to analyse all the time and feel so guilty

I’m the same. Most of my friends only have one, so I feel like the exhausted, harassed one all the time!
