[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those struggling, I broke down. I came to terms with what’s next and developed a plan.  I’m now focused on summer and we will take it from there.  I figured out a psychological plan and ways to make the days incrementally better.  Get therapy if you need to, this is really hard.  For those who say it’s not, good for them but that’s not most of us.[/quote]

Thanks for the encouragement. I’m having a really hard time and I’m a stay at home mom, so haven’t posted here to get support as I assume I’ll be criticized. I’m on meds and in therapy but this just feels too hard. Kids 1 and 3, oldest was previously in preschool. DH doesn’t understand why this is so hard for me. I don’t know what else I can do to make the days better.[/quote]

I’m sorry PP. There can be viciousness one here. I’m a working mom, but I have kids with a similar age gap and the 1 and 3 year old stage is HARD. I can’t imagine being stuck at home with them at that age without preschool, play dates, parks, etc. I’m glad you’re on meds and in therapy, and I hope your DH is giving you some breaks in the evening and weekends.

Also, it gets better. Mine are 5 and almost 3 now and we are DONE with (daytime) diapers, they can both verbally communicate with me, and they can actually play together (sometimes). Plus they have the attention span for a Disney movie.

Just hang in there![/quote]
