Is it normal? Will this pass?
Mummy to a just turned 2 year old and 10 day old.
Feeling massively overwhelmed when I have both children together, when my eldest is at planned childcare, all I do is cry as I feel guilty?
He has adjusted well, pretty much ignores baby and the world goes on as normal for him. Me however, can't help but wonder why on earth I've started this whole process again. I feel emotionally tired, even when my toddler is asleep I can't rest as I'm on edge waiting for the baby to need me.
I keep crying about daddy going back to work on Monday too.
What have I done? Please tell me this will pass!

I think your putting too much pressure on yourself. You don't need to be an entertainer or the most exciting thing to your kids. You just need to bring them to the playground and feed them snacks. You need to understand that you are doing a great job and stop putting pressure and stress on yourself. I recommend writing down all the lovely things you do for your kids, from cooking dinner, to doing laundry or playing with them. You do far more than you realise. ❤️
