i’m going to be 100% honest it doesn’t go away. i have two kids and i would argue it got worse bc now trying to divide time is so hard

@Alyssa (ally) omg nooo don’t tell me that 😭 As for you have you tried having something that’s just between you and a specific child? Like something special, ie: arts and crafts with one, and going to a salon with the other here and there so neither feels neglected? Just an example

yes !! we just went to the store together she loves that, and it’s close enough bc i’m still breastfeeding that it was quick but nice. my husband is also on paternity leave still so he will hold the baby and then me and my oldest will play play dough or bake. she loves it but i still feel sooo guilty like it’s not enough time 😭😭

I agree with Ally! It never really goes away with 2 or more kids. When I had my daughter I cried so much because my son wasn’t the only baby. I just try to do things with just my son as much as I can like playing with him and taking him out while my husband has the baby. I hate feeling guilty when my son wants to play and I am breastfeeding the baby. I cry about this too because I don’t want him to think I am too busy for him. He’s only 2.5. 😭 Being a mom is so hard!!

@Alyssa (ally) I love that he’s able to support you!! It sounds like you’re doing a fantastic job. I’m sure she loves and appreciates the time
