I’m really struggling since having our 2nd DC 6 weeks ago. Everyone I know with kids seems to manage fine, posting photos of their lovely walks or activities, where as I’m lucky if I remember to brush my hair most days.
I’m having a different experience from my first baby, which despite Covid/lockdown, was a lovely experience.
DH wfh at the time so was on hand to hold him while I showered or got ready. This time around I’m home alone with a newborn and 2.5 yo and not coping well.
We have great support from both our Mums and DS attends nursery 1 day per week but despite this I feel like I’m drowning.
Feeling particularly low today after a night of little sleep. Everything is triggering to me and I’ve raised my voice and lost my patience with DS on a few occasions which I’m not happy about.
Does it get better or easier? Did anyone else struggle after their 2nd child?
