Mum guilt
I’ve recently had a newborn and I have serious mum guilt for my own eldest who is 3
I don’t know if it’s the sleep deprivation but I’ve become quite short/snappy toward my eldest. I feel terrible for it as I know she also needs me with her being autistic she doesn’t at times understand when I literally have my hands tied doing something with the baby I can’t simply drop what I’m doing and come to her which leads to her having a massive meltdown…

My oldest is 12 and autistic and she didn't understand that to when I had my second one. She now knows that if I'm doing something with my little one she needs to wait. Sometimes I snap at her to if I haven't much sleep don't be to hard on your self.

Completely normal, I've been the sand with my son and he is my only little one, so I can imagine how hard it is with a newborn also
