Mother of 2 1 is nearly 4 and the other is 8weeks old.
My nearly 4 years old keeps kicking off every day.
Swears at me pinches and bites me.
I'm struggling to adapt to being a mother of 2.
I feel overwhelmed that I feel like walking out the door..
It's like I can't breathe.
My 8 week old keeps crying which doesn't help to.
My partner works long hours.
I feel like crying.
I'm always shouting at my oldest I feel like a crap mum

You are not a crap mum! You are a tired mum to a newborn a cheeky monkey :) I found going from 1 to 2 really hard as I felt so split between the 2, I couldnt keep both happy at the same time and felt so guilty for them both, and even now I have a house full of little people I still found that the 1-2 jump was the biggest change. Just keep ticking offone day at a time and things will improve x
