Hi all. I just had my 2nd child a few weeks ago and our first child is five. I have been feeling like I am shortchanging the older child because I spend less time with him now. I do skip naps when I should be trying to catch up on sleep to spend one-on-one time with him sometimes. I also feel stressed and guilty and became maybe less patient with him. He tends to not listen sometimes when I tell him to brush teeth, clean up toys or whatever and whines and pushes back. I got legit angry at him a little while ago bc he wasn’t listening and I don’t like feeling that way towards him. My older child has been the light of my life and my best buddy/friend for the past five years and I feel sad something is changing in our relationship. I think I might just be hormonal and tired and maybe a bit overwhelmed too because of the newborn, who I love very much as well. Anyone have any advice or insight? Will things feel different once my newborn gets past the little baby stage? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PIULFp
