I honestly don't know how single mothers with more than one child do it. The logistics of caring for 2 humans is crazy. I feel like I can't handle it.

@beebaby, I don't have time

What are you doing?

@beebaby, trying to take care of my 2 children and feeling like a failure.
Deleted·
Why. You aren't trying your succeeding. Being a stay at home mother is hard work

@beebaby, they both need me at the same time and one always has to do without. Idk what I'm doing.

Well that is the nature of the beast. You take care of the oldest one first because the baby mainly wants to be held. Include the older child in the younger ones care. Go play with the younger one while the baby sleeps

@beebaby, it's when my oldest needs something and my baby needs to be fed or have his diaper changed or needs help falling asleep.

Well you handle the baby second because they are the easier one

@beebaby, not when they are screaming. The baby will fuss twice then start screaming.

I don't know. I'm just giving suggestions. I handle my boys first and let her cry. Once they are settled then I get the baby. It is my system because if I get the baby first the boys would be waiting for hours. Once I have there movie on or game and feed them, then I take care of baby girl. Bath, diaper or whatever.

@beebaby, no she sleeps in a toddler bed in her room. I think it would be easier if we shared a bed but then I wouldn't sleep. But I do nurse her to sleep. I'd like to start training her to put herself to sleep after about a half hour of nursing but I have no idea how to do that.

Just feed her and take her to bed. Every night shorten the amount of time she gets
