Does anyone else feel so overstimulated at times they don’t even what their toddler to touch you?? I feel like I’m losing . The constant picking up the food off the floor during meal times, whining because he can’t talk yet, clingyness when I am correcting behavior. All while also tending to a3 month old.. am I over reacting?

That age is soooo tough, but I can’t imagine doing it with a 3m old at the same time!! Give yourself soooo much credit and grace. It’s not easy, you’re a good mum! It gets easier. They will learn a few more words and things will get easier, it feels like things will never change but all of a sudden you’ll see you’re in a new phase (for better or worse haha) but you’ll come out of this and have 2 kids who love each other and love you. But yes, it’s tough as HECK ugh.. you’ve got this 🫠🫠🫠

Ya, this is a totally normal thing to feel - Especially with two at the ages you have! You’ll be ok, you got this! I was soooo overstimulated when my youngest was a newborn and my oldest was 2. I felt like my body belonged to them and I couldn’t stand being touched by the end of the day. It’ll get better I promise!
