3 under 4

I only have one 18 month old child so my advice is pointless as I know nothing about your situation. But as a mum of an 18 month old, you are NOT failing, in fact you're a super hero. Parenting 1 is something, parenting 3 deserves a gold medal. Give yourself some grace, you're in the 4th trimester, still healing, and right in the thick of it, you aren't failing anyone or anything. It will get better xxx

Hi so glad I read this. I am in the thick of it too. 3.5 year old, 2 year old and 12 week old. Extremely difficult, no sugarcoating here. My 2 year old also stopped napping since baby's birth even though she still very very much needs it often. Do your kids go to nursery? If not, you're an absolute hero of a mom, honestly, wooow. My older two go to nursery but during term breaks I am actually one step away from going crazy. There is no real words of encouragement besides that you obviously know that this is temporary and that when the youngest will be 2 or 3 it will be by miles easier, right now it's all about surviving without greying and aging😅🫣 too much. Also when the baby carrier and pram arrive it will help you out soo much

Also I recently started being mindful and taking every day one at a time. Like, if by the end of the day all three kids are alive and asleep I am being mindful about how they all have been fed, all have received love, all have been attended to, all have been changed nappies or taken to toilet, all have gotten help to go to sleep etc etc. They don't stay alive and happy by themselves. Also, sometimes I have very shi* days when all three just scream the whole day on end and it makes me feel like they probably hate me but then the next day is completely different and the older two tell me how much they love me and the youngest is more content. It's always an up and down and when you are down, just know it's only temporary and the "up" is coming soon too xx
