Think I’ve made a mistake
I’ve got a 3.5 year old and a 6 week old.
I always wanted another baby.
But I think I’ve made a mistake, I don’t know if I can do this anymore. I wake up feeling dread what the day ahead will bring. I can’t give both kids my full attention and I feel like I’m on edge all the time. Obviously I know I can’t go back in time and change it but I’m just hoping that it gets easier and more enjoyable soon.

I promise you, it gets easier. I have the exact same age gap, offt it was tough to begin with. From being used to giving 100% to one child and then being less than for two is bloody hard. You’ve just got to remember youre in the thick of it right now, its about surviving, not thriving. But you will soon and you’ll find the joy, watching my two playing is just the best thing. My youngest is two now, and its great. As soon as my eldest accepted she was here to stay and started enjoying the snuggles and bringing her things - youve got to remember theyre adjusting to a new life too, once theyve found their way and are content it all becomes easier. Hang in there and take support when its offered x
