Plus on top of toddler tantrums 😂
Yep. That’s me every day with my 2 and 4.5 y/o’s. All day every day.
Can you give some examples of the worst issues you're struggling with? Maybe we could have some specific ideas. I often have to kind of trick my son. Also, some self care. Do you have anyone that can take over sometimes so you can get a break?
I do first this then that scenarios Routine is so crucial I ask her to do thing or help me do things I need to do Feed dog Put pod in dishwasher
I paid for the littlebigfeelings workshop and it's helped sooooo much. I mean I still lose my shit because man it can really grind on you some days. I've also had to be super consistent. When I say no, it's no. Not okay after they throw a fit. My kid knows when I say no it's a no. Kids need boundaries and it sucksssss having to say no to things. But the workshop helps you find ways of saying no to things without having to actually say the word no and it really cuts back on tantrums.
I’m there too but all I can say is patience is key. It’s really hard but, even though it sounds cliche, it’s just a phase. I’ve found that involving my son in daily things like throwing things in the trash, clean up the toys together and just overall making him part of what we do at home or when we go out has been very helpful. I don’t know if this is accurate but I feel like it gives them a sense of security by being part of what we do and it’s a chance to teach them how to do things together too.
Me, I'm a mess. I have 3 kids and I feel like I'm so depressed and stressed constantly
Yes! I feel so alone most of the time. My partner does the bare minimum when it comes to co parenting. If it’s not the weekend when I’m working he won’t even change a diaper. I’m burnt out and don’t know how to communicate anymore.
