2 under 2s

Take the help!! https://www.formodernmothers.com/blog/not-supposed-to-do-it-alone

I feel you. And ngl, I have just had a morning too with mine as she’s back at nursery today & I have tried many times to tell her to eat something & wasn’t listening. I snap at her & she got upset but it’s the buttons they push & get to that point. She’s been like it lately & I have lost it at her a few other times too. I don’t mean too but yes a break now & then is needed. Which I rarely get to myself. Don’t feel guilty take that break. 😊💕

Whoever voted shit mum is a dick. Everyone needs a break, don’t be so hard on yourself x

Don’t feel guilty at all! You need the rest so you can show up for your children and be the best you can be

getting out helps coming from a mum who had 2 under 2 (they're 2 and 3.5 now) and my 3.5 has always woken 5+ times a night and on top of a newborn. It's hard. I do find getting out even now helps us all regulate but don't feel guilty you are also human. once he comes back apologize, he may not understand but it helps us feel a little less like shit x

Don’t feel bad, take the break you need it. You’re toddler will be fine and happy x

I had 2 under 2, they’re now 2 and 3.5. I have no village and really wish I did! It’s no joke being in the trenches! Take all the help you can get, it doesn’t make you a bad mum at all! Your toddler will have had a lovely time too! It gets better mama, it wont always feel this hard but take what you can get!

Take the break. That’s what a village is for.

Don’t feel bad. Having 2 is so hard! I always used to send my toddler to my mother in laws or mothers when I had my baby as I couldn’t give him the time and attention when I was on my own as I was just figuring it all out. I used to get him all excited and tell him how lucky he was to get to spend time on his own at grandmas/nanas and he loved it as it was his time. I did then swap it up and asked someone to have my baby for an hour then spend time with my toddler.

Just remember to take ALL the help and (I know it’s hard) but try not to feel bad, it’s better that you’re rested and then you’re a better mum for your toddler 😊

When you’re dealing with tiredness everything is shit. Things that seem end of the world magically appear minor after a nap/ good period of sleep. Go easy on yourself. This too shall pass

I understand the feeling of guilt, but that's just noise. You know he'll have a good time with your MIL and you'll get some rest to be more present/patient when he returns home, it's the best for all of you. If you have help take it, we weren't made to do this isolated. ❤️
