Hi lovelies, please can you share hacks and secrets with me as to how you parent 2 kids?
my DS is 5 and I have 3mo baby. Whilst lovely, she is hard work. I feel like I spend so much time with her, I’m neglecting my son. She’s unsettled in the evenings, so when my son comes back from school I can’t spend any time with him because bm baby girl is so grouchy. My DH is helping with school run sometimes and sometimes he’ll take DS to play football. It breaks my heart when I snap at DS because I feel so stressed with screaming baby (she also likes to put herself to sleep in a dark room with white noise all by herself however she’s a very very light sleeper, so wakes up when DS talks or makes a sound and then she gets really really upset). I feel like such shit mom to my DS. He’s the nicest 5 yo I know, he adores his sister but I can see how sad he gets when we don’t spend any time together or when I’m telling him off (for nothing really, just being a child asking for snacks, to change TV channel etc)…
