Anybody else just feel SO guilty after having a second child? I love both of my kids so much but I always think I’m not spending enough time with my oldest. Or I’m not showing him enough love & he doesn’t feel as loved any more.. He’s been acting out a lot since we brought his brother home and at night I can’t help but just cry once everyone is asleep because I feel sooooo bad 😞
My second isn't even born yet, but I've felt this way since I found out I was pregnant. I'm so close with my first I'm scared she's gonna feel unwanted or left out and Idm how I'm gonna be able to handle it 😭 its do heartbreaking. I hope she understands and realizes mommy still loves her 😟
I felt the same way my daughter was almost two when my son was born she’s 2 now a few months and his 5 months and she’s gotten a lot better it’s def hard and a big change for them and us :( but i promise it gets better. Jsut involve her in everything i let her help me change his diapers and sing with me help bathe him and she loves it :) when he naps i play with her and i always make sure i show her a lot of affection 😊
I feel you completely. I felt this way for 5-6 years. My oldest is now 8 going on 9 but I felt so bad when she had just turned 2 years and then two months later her lil sis was born. I felt like a horrible person. It can be hard to brush off cause she was the only baby but I’ve learned to do many things that help me and her because I made her feel special. You can never say I love you too much, hugs, cuddles, kisses, holding his hand while you have baby in your arms, fix him a cozy spot next to you as much as you can.
You’re only two weeks into this mama, don’t let the guilt get to you. You are doing the very best you can & this is a whole new atmosphere for everybody! The fact your hormones are all over the place right now doesn’t help but just know things will get better & you’re not alone ❤️ keep up the great work!
