In the trenches right now!

Omg post C-section is so hard. I’m 2 weeks PP.
My 4yo is being utterly unbearable the last few days, hubby is off work for a while so able to entertain him but he’s also doing shopping, cleaning and helping me & baby.

I’m breastfeeding constantly. Trying to take it easy and recover whilst running on 3/4 hours sleep 🙈 it’s just all too much. My 4yo just keeps having meltdowns , screaming and crying at the slightest thing upsetting baby when she’s asleep and acting really spoilt. He’s not listening to much & I’m annoyed I can’t do more, the house is a total mess, laundry up to our eyeballs, not much outside help as we live over an hour away from family. When does it get easier!?

Reflux/ Gas issues

I feel like I’m at a dead end with this. My 7 week old will fuss for hours and bend awfully in my arms and rocker. He’s clearly uncomfortable but I’ve tried everything to help. Sitting him up after feeds, burping every now and then during feeds, belly massages and bicycle runs, gripe water. You name it I’ve done it. It breaks my heart, I hate seeing my baby in discomfort, please say there’s other things I can do :(

Police

Has anyone else been in a situation where a neighbour has called the police anonymously due to hearing your baby crying? Had 3 police officers turn up at my property to check the kids as someone called to hear them crying. I’m so fuming and upset. I mean if a baby is going to cry they are going to cry.. that’s really upset my evening. They came checked my kids who are sleeping and left.

Riddle me this…

Has your child or children ever came home from school/ Daycare saying new phrases that they HAD to have learned over there????

For example : my son was playing and he shouts ‘NOT On MY WATCH!’ -randomly.

It was hilarious bc I know exactly which teacher talks like this
