Here's the thing. My 2nd daughter was just born 3 weeks ago and on her side, its going well. Or rather, it's going as expected, there's crying, theres colics and there's a mom breastfeeding 26 hours a day 8 days a week.She drinks. A lot. But so did her older sister, they're both slow feeders and sometimes i try to motivate their mother to motivate the youngest child (only the youngest is still breastfed) but after being over her shoulder, she doesnt stop eating or falls asleep.Ok i feel like there's not much else i can do.Now about my 20 months old.Her and her mother have both been sick for the past 3 weeks. Fever, a cold and even a stomach flu. I've been trying to cook meals, cleaning up, and even trying to get a chance to relax. My first error when my oldest was born was trying to do stuff for me. I tried reading, playing video games, which always left me frustrated because she was young and needed attention. Ok i got i try to keep my video game/comic book binging to a minimum. But now i cant even do things around the house. That much i can... Try to live with. She also hasn't been sleeping well (wakes up in panic every two hours). I try to stay calm, but after 3 weeks of this, i get angry. FAST. And i get little support from my SO because she's dead tired because of our youngest.I'm not sure what i want at this point. I feel like up and leaving sometimes or just curl up and wait it out. I'm so annoyed by it all i just want to cut my parental leave and go back to work.I love my girls to bits and i really need help to not be an angry father. I feel like i'm losing myself.Can anyone help me? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2h58rce
