Mummys With LOs Close In Age

[Wobbles]

Any here?

My Megan is nearly 11 months and Caitlin nearly 2yrs 3 months

15-16 months between them I think that is

 

[Mamafy]

23 months between my 2 youngest, they fight constantly

 

[Wobbles]

I really struggle most days - Sometimes I wonder if Im alone with the 'struggle' and if not maybe a chat group.

 

[Sam's Mum]

Me Just under 19 months between my two

And a chat group would be great! It's hard enough at the ages they're at now (nearly 5 months and 2)...I'm guessing it only gets harder?!

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

there's 382 days between mine

 

[DanDecMum]

23 months between my 2 youngest, they fight constantly

There is 9 years 9 months between my two and they fight constantly to you wouldnt believe that a 12 year old can fight with a 2 year old

 

[Mamafy]

The work load does get easier but then other problems set in, jealousy, fighting, not sharing Some days I get to 6 o clock and can't wait for bedtime but hen I've got one teenager and one pre-teenager; both girls and that's a whole different set of cr@p

 

[Terrie]

mine are older (theres 17mo between) but just wanted to give you all a massive hug its a struggle but it does get easier once theyre both walking...

the fighting never ends though and i find i can only really get stuff done when they are both at nursery and ive got the house to myself..

Oh I'd well believe that, Katie fights with them all plus has all their phrases for each other latest one being 'Loser'

Haha Caitlin and Megan are doing this stage now and then usually over toys. Caitlins at the mine mine mine part of life!

Ohhh hahaha

Me Just under 19 months between my two

Harder then easier I heard I can honestly say I have been out of mind some times even to the point where I feel Im losing all sanity and have to get out the room. Caitlin screams all day long AT me its awful and once she starts when we have 'just' got up it sets me to 'off' for the rest of the day Ill mention more after Ive replied to posts how I feel about it and my lil family! Hoping people relate.

there's 382 days between mine

haha @ knowing how many days

The work load does get easier but then other problems set in, jealousy, fighting, not sharing Some days I get to 6 o clock and can't wait for bedtime but hen I've got one teenager and one pre-teenager; both girls and that's a whole different set of cr@p

I can't wait for bedtime. I just think if they can talk (better in Caitlins case) walk not be so restricts (cots/gates) then surely its a bit better.

mine are older (theres 17mo between) but just wanted to give you all a massive hug its a struggle but it does get easier once theyre both walking...

the fighting never ends though and i find i can only really get stuff done when they are both at nursery and ive got the house to myself..

Megans waiting on a place at nursery I really feel like going in and begging.

^ People may think thats sounds bad but its to benefit them too. We work from home as much as people see we're at home theres work to be done and when Caitlin went in I thought it would be easier to get things done ...well the only easier thing was I wasn't having a heart attack getting between both needs ...Megan is so much a hands on little girl that Im not getting much more done than when Caitlin wasn't at nursery! Im just minus her screaming at me tbh! Either way I spend at least the week days fighting them to get work done - constantly trying to do just something. Caitlin goes 3 full days a week I am wanting Megan in 3 full days on the same days HOPING that means I have 3 days where I can do work and 2 days that are OUR DAYS ...days I do not fight them to work and more time together because Im not grabbing every couple of seconds to work which Im mainly leaned over a kitchen counter doing *great* then weekends as they come really. It will really mean alot and benefiting to our family (girls included) to have them both in. I miss the fact I want to be with my daughters more.

Caitlin screams at me all day as I stated - I don't get it but then again I do for the reasons above. Megan crys so much but of course she needs picked up, fed and general hands on and she just wants attention ...rightly so. Im bouncing between both one after the other from food drinks nappies naps! I hardly get to sit down. If both are at home it sort of goes like this;
up
caitlin nappy
megan nappy
quick coffee for me
breakfast caitlin
megan bottle (caitlins now screaming to get down)
burping megan
dress megan
dress caitlin
mummy shower/wash
small snack like biscuit/fruit
megan another nappy
Inbetween them falling over, fighting for toys, screaming for sake of it, hitting megan over head, distracting one in playpen one not so I can get a shower/washed
*now its 11am its time to start lunch for 11.30/45 Mummys hair still wet unbrushed
caitlin lunch
megan lunch
caitlins having a fit over lunch
picking food up from floor etc
caitlin/megan nappy
caitlin nap
megan wanting cuddled for nap or dozes off in jumperoo

*12.30pm by the end of it*

Mummys screwed now and brushing the knots from her now damp hair

Yer I know your typical morning for a Mummy with 2 their age but I am physically and mentally exhausted. I feel selfish for the way I feel ...am I the only parent with kids so young so close in age that just wants to hide under a pillow thats sound proof? I get upset sometimes OH thinks (no offence to him) that Im the only one to 'moan' haha typical or have I just not got the Mummy thing happening?

[Sorry that is so long and boring]

Sunday I had no tollerance level ...Going docs about my pmt me thinks i need to x

Just got to page 2

Yikes - I seen one of your FB status's and it must be hard.

How old are your kiddies exactly?

I wondered if I needed to see the quack but I just don't think it will make a bit of difference (for me personally of course).
