I feel extremely guilty. Im really burnt out with 2 under 2 and today at bedtime i started screaming at my toddler who kept waking the baby up. Both kids got scared and started crying but i keor screaning and screaming. How do we recover
I feel so sad and guilty. I know both baby and toddler got scared and they continued to cry for a while but it didn't stop me from screaming. I have 2 under 2 and i get very little help from husband as hes always working until late. My toddler eventually cried himself to sleep and my baby fell asleep crying too
I cant stop crying and I hope they dont remember this! I havent had one single day off for the past 2 years

Listen..you're doing amazing!! Having no help and 2 babies so young. We all lose it sometimes..anyone who says they haven't is a liar. But the main thing is that it doesn't define you as a mother. What defines you is how u felt afterwards. Some mothers/parents literally parent like that day in & out! My kids are 12 & 4, and I couldn't tell u how many times I've apologised to them for snapping at them or allowing my own stress/moods to affect how I parent. Kids are alot more resilient than we are. You'll probably still be upset about this years down the line...meanwhile their brains aren't even really developed enough to remember it. It'll get easier, I promise. Just make sure that u find the time to relax and be you! You shouldn't have to be mummy 24/7 365, especially when u have a husband. And what about mums & tots or things like that, have u any other support? If you're in the UK I found surestart a great help when mine were wee. Sending hugs ❤️
