Considering going to north side in May with family

Hello! My husband and I have fallen in love with grand cayman over the years and have always stayed on seven mile. We have a baby now and an Airbnb with family makes more sense for us. I found a great option on north side but haven’t been. Anything I should know before booking ?

How are we regulating ourselves?

I’ve always been somewhat of a high strung person. I wouldn’t describe myself as chill and have struggled with anxiety in and off.

I’ve found myself just being so irritable and cannot regulate myself. I do all the things where possible — eat regularly and well, exercise, get outside, etc. but one really bad night of sleep combined with a lot of screaming in the morning just sends me. I don’t want to yell at my baby but find myself being like what do you want !!!! The alternative is me shutting down completely in order to cope and although all his needs are met I’m not interacting with him as much because I’m just trying to regulate my own damn nervous system.

He was an extremely colic baby and terrible sleeper until a few months ago, so I really try and maintain my perspective on how much things have improved.

I honestly just hate myself for not being able to get it together. I’m suppose to be showing him how to regulate and I’m just so worried that toddlerhood will be full of me screaming all the time. I don’t want to be a yelling mom but I get it happen.
