i feel so split in 2!!! My eldest is 3 and youngest is 1. My eldest is quite emotional, meltdown a lot needs a lot of routine rigid and like lots of preparation before simple social events he gets overwhelmed easily.
so that makes me feel guilty and I find it tough sometimes I kind of suspect he’s on the spectrum (as DH is diagnosed autistic from young age) but just waiting to see him grow up as I know lots of toddlers can show traits and outgrow them
my youngest is quite clingy obviously as. A young baby but I feel like I’m constantly like wait one minute mummy will be right there etc feel so tough splitting between the 2
And then now we just left eldest at nana’s as his cousins are there and she wanted him to stay for 2/3 hours so all the kids (minus youngest as she won’t stay away yet) are together and I liked the idea as it’s good for him to interact with other kids
but now I feel like a lazy shite mum :(
Im trying to find my balance as I’m needing to be firm and set boundaries. ATM he is trying to throw a tantrum or meltdown for anything like sweets chocolate etc stuff there’s limits for.
but I get so worried she’ll hate me and that I’m a shit mum :(
