Irritable with toddler

Anyone else find they have zero patience for their toddler due to newborn exhaustion? I know he’s still only little but it’s so hard to find compassion for tantrum number 9 of the day when I’m trying my best to give him attention and also juggle the baby. He’s lucky his little sister is the most chilled baby ever who rarely cries and naps well in the day (up all night!!) so I am more than able to give him my sole focus. But it’s still not enough clearly!

💯 it’s so difficult, especially when the kick off is about something completely irrational, which it usually is. I don’t have any suggestions to deal with it but I just wanted to know that I am there with you x

@Mia thanks so much for the validation! It’s so hard and I feel so guilty for getting annoyed. I even said to him today you’re a lucky boy that your sister is so calm else you wouldn’t get any of my attention!!! As he threw toys at me whilst I tried to give him 1:1 play time lol. Hopefully it’ll pass 😂🤞🏻

🙈 toddlers!! I’m truly sick of getting shouted at by my 2yo, tiny dictator. It is defo a phase and it will certainly pass but my god, it is really wearing 😵‍💫x

Yes same, I am normally a very patient person as well. Still working on how I handle myself in these situations, each day I say- today I am going to do things differently and work on myself. It is hard when they are both crying and want/need me and I’m so tired and the noise is overwhelming
