Possibly irrational post incoming.I have a wonderful 5 year old and a 3 month old but... I feel like I am failing both of them. I can't go places (like shopping) because I'm afraid I'll lose track of the 5 year old while trying to soothe the 3 month old. I feel like I am constantly having to "choose" between them and who gets my attention. This is also compacted by the fact that the 3 month old will not drink a bottle and nurses about every two hours and rarely lets anyone else hold him. Yesterday we went to a festival and the 5 year old almost walked out in the street because I was pushing the baby in a stroller. Now I'm having nightmares about them both drowning and having to choose who to save. Also how do you put your shopping carts away when it's just you and your kids and you can't carry everything and a baby carrier and hold your 5 year olds hand? I think I may go crazy. How do people manage two kids?! I'm honestly starting to think I should just stay home with both of them until the baby doesn't need 100% of my attention. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/30fRQqH
