Any tips from any of you about coping with the hurly burly of two other children and a slightly stressed partner after your birth? Am holed up upstairs at the moment, but feeling I am taking too much on board to do with my partner's stress and tiredness, sorting out arguments downstairs and finding it difficult coping with the two other children competing over the baby and wanting to maul him. The only downside of a lovely homebirth I think! Last time I had one DD at school so things were peaceful and we had a lovely baby moon! This time I'm feeling either quite 'put upon' by my partner wanting to rely on me and tell me his issues about the other children or 'alone' by being in the spare room and leaving him to deal with it and ignoring his stress! Ended up having my tearful evening last night where I went mad about inlaws visiting without dates being agreed with me, lack of time together just us, his stress, etc etc and saying that I just needed a bit more cherishing. I feel like I'm thinking too much about him and not enough about my own rest. Any tips? Maybe I'm being a bit hormonal and unreasonable!
