I wish I had more of me to make sure everyone is getting the attention they need. With three kids it is so hard to balance time with each one individually while taking care of a 3 month old and not have anyone feel left out. Then add trying to balance time with my husband too is hard. The older two have been acting out lately because they are jealous that I have to do so much for the baby but I’m trying to include them on helping with her so that they feel helpful and like big kids. I just hope they realize how much I am trying and that I love them all so much! I saw this quote and thought we could all relate. ShareTheLoad

That is such a good reminder! I know it must be really hard with 3 kids. I can only imagine how it must be trying to make everyone happy. I was thinking about having another baby last night, and I was trying to imagine how I would do everything. In all scenarios I came up with, nothing seemed to work 
I’m so sorry your having a rough time. Does your baby stay with dad? Maybe once a week you can have him watch the baby for at least an hour and you go have some alone time with the older ones. Or even separately one week take one out to do something they like and the other week what the other one likes.
I have 4 kids and my two oldest are teens so they don’t get jealous and are very helpful with my littles. My toddler gets jealous though so when she wants me I leave my baby to one of my older girls or dad. I try to give her the most attention since she’s all around the house but still super tiny. Where my baby does need me but can hold off and be loved by another member for a bit especially since she still doesnt crawl

He only has 4 days off a month so he can’t help during the day but he helps In the evening when he gets home and in the mornings before he leaves for work.When he is off we try to have family time
Motherhood is not easy I am happy to still be apart of it and watch people who assumed I was going to be a bad mom get sad and disappointed.
