I’m sorry you feel that way. I waited so long to have another that it’s going to be like I just have one all over again but for me that makes me sad, I know it’ll help because my toddler can be a lot especially with the dog, but I wanted them to bond and be able to take them both out. Now I’ll feel guilty that she will be in school for the first time while I get to take her brother out and about. But I also felt guilty when she would cry that she has no siblings and no one to play with that’s a kid. It really broke my heart. I think that’s just life, we can’t always win and it’s just all about finding your comfort zone and what you are willing to handle and do to make your days better as they go. But every feeling is valid

@Natalia aww you make me feel better mama😢thank you so much and i see your baby is 5 thats a good age gap

I felt this way with my third. She was an oops baby I got pregnant 5 months postpartum from having my son. I often think I was a better mom with one kid as well. Things were so much easier, I agree with you. I appreciate and love my kids but some days I wish I could go back. So you're not alone in your feelings.

Feel this. One kid was magic two kids is tiring. Mine are exactly 2 years apart. I get this

@Kalina i got pregnant 6 months pp😭yesss i feel you

@Lizzy right 😭i dont have the energy to run after a toddler with a newborn

I kind of sorta feel the same way, my 2nd son was born a month ago and yet I haven’t left the house (by choice) until he turned 1m but I dread doing anything w/o my bf. My first son is 3 so I can only imagine how you feel with having a younger bby. I do feel guilty for not being able to be as interactive with my oldest. He always asks to do something and I’m always having to say “one second” or “not right now”
