(Not) Coping with a 2yr old, a nearly 4 yr old and pregnant at the same time

[Vixstar]

So as the name suggests, having a struggle at the moment.

I physically cannot deal with DS#2 at the moment. I have just picked him up, and thrown him inot bed for his morning nap. All morning I have yelled at him. Now I have pains in my tummy again.

Have my days with the eldest too. His is more back chat etc but still drains me. Like right now, I am typing this and was planning on having a nap......but he has just come and asked me to play Snap with him. I say no - he gets disappointed with me, so I will stay awake now and end up overtired and yelling again.....or more yelling rather. (He is sick atm and I spent most of the night listening to him coughing)

I know I am ment to slow down and take it easy but how the **** do i? I know once I have the baby things will be different......or not....

Preschool tomorrow - they are going, come H*** or high water.....!

Surely I am not the only one dealing with preschoolers / toddlers or whatever they are classed as!?

Just wanted to send you a big hug . It is HARD work and you are entitled to some days where you don't feel like you are coping. Just take it one day at a time, there will be some good days and some OK days in there too . Your kids know you love them, sometimes it's good for them to witness real emotions from their mum!

I hope you have a nice, much needed break tomorrow .

Like Trish, all you can do is take it one day at a time. I find Nina the most demanding out of her and Emily. She's constantly wanting to do things which involve me physically doing it with her, and majority of the time I can't do it as I just don't have enough time in the day. And it's certainly not any easier when they're sick. Hang in there hun, you'll get through this. Make sure you get plenty of rest tomorrow while they're at preschool
