I've got a 4 year old and a 21 month old. I love them to pieces and they are (of course) amazing. However I feel so stressed by them at the moment. They've started to fight a bit, I know it's normal and it's not even that bad. But I hate to see it. But the main thing is I feel constantly terrified something bad is going to happen to them.
My 1 year old is at that age where he's got absolutely no safety awareness and he's very active and wants to explore everything. Im constantly in a state of panic he's going to fall out of a window or off a table onto the stone floor or let himself out the house etc
Im always on high alert for this sort of thing and I feel like I can hardly relax. It's less bad if I'm actively engaging him in something but sometimes I have to do chores or do something with my eldest and then he's roaming around on the cusp of danger. The house is baby proofed as much as poss but sometimes doors get left unlocked accidentally etc and it really makes me panic.
I feel like im so stressy and horrible and failing at the moment. Im always on edge and flipping my lid too easily. Both are not amazing sleepers so that probably plays into this too I guess.
I don't really know what im asking. But can anyone relate?!
