Hi everyone.This morning I had a complete meltdown and I'm feeling low as ever as a father. I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old.I had already had an awful night of sleep with a terrible stomach ache, when my 2 month old woke up for a feeding at 6 am. Fed him, burped him, changed him and he looked very awake. No problem, we can play for a few minutes before going back to bed. No, he was awake and fussy.Meanwhile, I don't want the wife or 3 year old boy to wake up, so I stay there comfort my 2 month old for a bit more. Until 750At 8, it's now time to wake up my 3 year old. He won't wake up. Takes about 10 minutes and he finally starts his routine. I tell him to go to his room to get changed, he goes and then he slams his door, waking up the young one.At this point I lose it. Running on 2-3 hours of sleep, finally putting the younger one to sleep to have him wake up again, I start getting frantic running to the baby, trying to get him to sleep again, finally my wife gets up to help out and I demand the baby back and she tells me no, because I'm being pretty frantic.At this point I slam my head on the door in frustration, go to my kitchen and start crying.I'm losing it right now.... via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2BH2rkl
