the important thing is not that you forgot, but that you've now remembered

i agree with everyone else. at least you saw you were acting differently and changed it. im glad that you have your "mummys angel" back. you definately sound as though you have your children first in your mind.

dd is 2 and 10mnths and since having dd2 3 months ago our relationship has changed in a negative way, shes naughtier, im angrier, i snap at her and she tell me im silly and i need to go away. it makes me sad but it all just happens in the heat of the moment! and i feel so bad after. every morning i say to myself that it will be different and il try harder not to get frustrated with her but i still find it hard. but il keep trying.....

glad you have found a way to re conect with you dd, it is easy to forget that they still need to be mummys little girl too

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's really hard to spread yourself between many people, especially young children. Enjoy this new phase...she loves you just the same as always!

I completely understand where you are coming from! DD1 and DS1 were born 12 months apart and I cringe at the things I expected from her because she was my eldest and I didn't realise how little she really was. In hindsight, and with other babies in my house, I know I expected too much of her and treated her older than she was. When I realised, I felt sad about what I had done also

I'm so glad for you though that things are improving with you and your DD1. Kids are very forgiving which is one of the most beautiful things about them. Their ability to love us unconditionally. Enjoy both your babies and don't beat yourself up about it. You are doing a good job. It's not easy juggling kids and making sure everyone is getting what they need (including you).

Huge coming your way.

I know where you are coming from as my little man is about to turn 3 but at 22 months his sister was born and I do the exact same thing, expect way more than I should and yell at him....I know I shouldn't and wake up everyday swearing things will change but it is such a challenging age that it feels like he is getting worse. It is really making me wonder whether considering baby number3 is a bad idea if I can't provide the right amount of attention to number 1 and then it filters down to our number 2...........;-(
