Our little girl used to be such an sweet little girl and occasionally still is, but 95% of the time she is just whinging not listening to anything everything is a chore to her we make her so angry cause I asked her to get ready for bed. Literally everything I ask from her, I bring snack every day after school some times healthy some times a treat and it’s always she wanted something else then screams and cry’s the 25 min scar journey home. We sat down with her so many times to talk to her and ask what’s wrong why is she being like this and she just says don’t know and we talk about feeling and how to handle them and what to do but it don’t obvs seem to work when it’s needed.
She become a big sister last year November and I just feel like my whole maternity leave has been me feeling so down and depressed as I’ll I do is try but then end up moaning like I’m failing, her cause I don’t know why she being like that and failing my baby as it’s alway the older one and she just hears us shouting at each other. Cause I’m so drained after school runs I feel like I have nothing left to give my baby in the day who’s don’t deserve this at all she is the sweetest most chill baby girl ever. I feel like I the days going so fast and I’m just in a pit I try get out for walks but i just hate leaving the house now. And cause i feel like I havnt got the best time with baby girl on this mat leave I just resent my older one for making me feel like this constantly and it just making me want to give up and let her do what ever as I can’t be asked any more.
Don’t know the point of writing this tbh just wondered if I’m awful mum for resenting my older daughter when she was my first baby , love and everything in between. Is anyone else like this or just me?!?

My Little girl is October 2021, and honestly recently whatever I ask of her it's like I've asked her to complete a marathon or worse.
It's not all the time but I've definitely seen a noticeable shift in her regarding simply tasks.....you are not alone. I think it's definitely heightened as you have a new baby to look after also and it's so draining xx
