DD is 2.5, currently expecting baby 2, chronic insomnia throughout and OH working late hours so very rarely on hand to help out.
Still breastfeeding DD although it is obviously comfort feeding than for nutrition now. She’s very insistent and asks for boob constantly.
I am frequently experiencing what I can only describe as moments of absolute rage when feeding, I was always really chilled out about feeding for so long and happy for her to self wean but now pretty much as soon as she’s on I feel the irritation start and I just want to scream. I think it’s the hands everywhere and the insistence even when I am trying to dissuade her, sometimes I feel almost like I’m being assaulted although I am aware that’s a very dramatic way of wording it.
I feel like I have no patience in general at the moment. I’m constantly knackered. I’m bloody enormous and even putting my shoes on or picking up yet another toy or bit of food that’s been thrown is hard work, I’m aware it’s the age she’s at but she doesn’t listen when I tell her not to do this/not to touch that etc, and I’m just finding it all maddening at the moment and worried how I’ll cope when baby’s here and I’ve got DD to entertain/keep safe etc as she runs around not listening to a word I say.
