Is it possible to wfh with two kids? I have a 21 month old currently and he’s been home with me since birth. I’m due in July with my second and will have 12 weeks maternity leave then I’ll have to go back to work. How possible is it to wfh with two kids?
I’m currently 28w3d pregnant with a 21 month old. When I give birth my son will be about 23 months old. I’m terrified of trying to bond with my newborn while taking care of a toddler. My first postpartum experience wasn’t the best, I had terrible anxiety, baby blues, I was exhausted and it was just all around hard so I’m trying to prepare for what this time around might look like. My husband isn’t going to have much time off of work, maybe a week. How did you survive?
My mil does live with us but she’s honestly not that much help now so I’m not holding my breath that she’s going to be very reliable.
I work full time with a 21 month old also while being 28w pregnant. My mil lives with us and is supposed to help with childcare and chores since she doesn’t contribute financially. While she does help with cleaning the house she spends the majority of the day hiding in her room. Whenever she comes out of her room she’s glued to her phone. She doesn’t take my son outside to play nor does she play with him inside so I rely a LOT on screen time. She doesn’t really talk to me unless it’s to ask what I’m making for dinner (which she was supposed to be in charge of the majority of the week) or if I can order something for her off of Amazon. We started working on potty training with my son and of course it’s left all on me to do. I’ve cried at least once a day for the past 3 days because I’m so over doing everything by myself.
It’s my dad’s birthday and we went to dinner to celebrate.
I didn’t pick the healthiest choice and did indulge in some desert and after I went for a mile walk knowing my blood sugar was probably going to be on the higher side. But I SPIKED. 204 😭 I feel so guilty for eating dinner and celebrating my dad’s birthday.
I feel like potty training is failing. My son is just shy 21 months old and we got him a potty for Christmas and between then and now we’ve just slowly introduced him to it. No pressure, just if he showed interest we’d sit him on it and see if he’d go. My son is very interested in watching us use the bathroom as well as he loves to flush the toilet. He can pull off his diaper and has started trying to take off his pants. This week we decided to try potty training. He goes pee in it no problem in the morning but after his nap it’s like it’s all downhill. He doesn’t communicate when he needs to go so it’s just been us periodically putting him on the potty. I got frustrated this afternoon because I put him on the potty three separate times and each time he’d have an accident after he got off the potty. Am I just starting it too early?
I’m 27w and this is my second pregnancy with GD. Yesterday I had a chicken sandwich with white bread and took a walk and my blood sugar was in range. I had the same lunch today except with whole wheat bread (I also took a walk) and I spiked. I’m fine with white bread and jasmine rice but as soon as I have whole wheat bread, which I thought was supposed to be better, I spike?? Make it make sense.
