DS is a week old now and is a little angel so far, DD however is going through a difficult time adjusting and her behaviour has become incredibly difficult to deal with. I literally have no idea how I'll cope with both of them when DP goes back to work. I don't know how I'll keep the house in a decent state or even find time to go to the bathroom.
I'm coming out of a severe bout of depression which doesn't help.
How do those of you with a newborn and toddler cope by yourselves? Any tips/ideas would be so appreciated as I really am terrified of next week when DP goes back to work.

Mine are now just turned 9 and 7 (20 months between them) . We went to the park and play groups a lot because getting out seemed to help distract ds1.

Don't give yourself a hard time about the house work, try to involve dd as much as possible in ds's care and spend quality time with he's so she doesn't feel pushed out by him.

It does get easier, mind are great at amusing each other on the whole.
