It's been 4 months since our little boy is born. It took me a few month to settle down and finally back to work as well (Still adjusting thou). During this time, I'm often prompt with the following questions
Life is extremely busy with 2 children (being 3 years apart), sometimes I hope to have another me. When the little one cry for attention, the elder will follow suit hoping to gain some attention as well. Sometimes, I do feel torn by either of them. Which one should I attend to? The younger one as he is still very vulnerable or the older one to curb her jealousy pangs.
Attending to their bed time is also tormenting as I turn into a super mum using both my hands to pat both of them and reading at the same time. By the time they are down, I'm completely exhausted and it's time for me to zzz as well. No more "me" time, I complained to my husband.
Going out sequences seem longer as we "upgraded" our diaper bag, equip ourselves with 2 strollers, constantly looking for convenient location with nursing facilities and looking for activities that could satisfy the 2 child.
As i adjust myself, I reminded myself that my elder is going through phrases of adjustments too. Firstly, suffering from regression. Secondly, fear of losing mama to another baby (strangely this does not apply to papa). Thirdly, having to adjust to a new baby at home.
- How's life after the second one?
- Is it easier to cope with the second on
- Does the elder child care for her littler brother
- Does the elder child show any sign of resentment
