Really struggling with having two kids. My first is a little over two years old and is in full blown terrible twos. Juggling that plus a newborn is really hard. My husband is also really overwhelmed as he doesn't have any time off work and is feeling a lot of pressure to provide. He really wanted two kids more than me because I knew how hard it would be. I love my new baby of course but it's just so so hard to not feel like I'm drowning. Anyone else have a hard time adjusting?

Same. My 1st is 2 and messes with everything he's not supposed to and my baby has been cluster feeding and wants to be attached to me almost all the time and it's so hard to do anything. She cries almost every time I put her down and even if my husband tries to hold her most of the time.

Girl I’m in the same boat…my first born is 2 years and 4 months and I have a 10 week old lol
She’s full blown terrible 2s as well and some days are harder than others. I gave up pumping/breastfeeding recently cause I couldn’t keep up with the demand of my baby and keep up with my 2 year old…I’m still feeling guilty about it
yep, my husband loves being dramatic and saying our baby doesn't like him because she cries when he holds her. No she's just a newborn that just wants to nurse. She wants to be held constantly, even for sleep.
aww don't feel guilty! You're doing what's best for your mental health. We are still breastfeeding but I haven't pumped in a couple weeks because it was just too much. I keep meaning to get my wireless pump out but I haven't had the time. Everything is just so demanding. There isn't enough time in the day.

My husband says that joking sometimes but he knows its not true.

Man oh man, 6 months pregnant with a toddler x.x and I have Fibromyalgia. But hoping for a better transition
