Pretty much the title. We have a an almost 4 year old, almost 2 year old, and a week old newborn. With this new change we are trying to find a rhythm with bedtime. The past two nights my newborn is hungry while my 2 year old needs rocked (minimal just in a chair) while my husband has the 4 year old (laying with him and telling him a story. Then, the 4 year old wants me to come tuck him in (like our usual routine before baby) but I’m so behind with the 2 year old and the newborn is still eating so my husband will take the 2 year old but then she’s upset being taken from me…… help, I’m overwhelmed!

We are super lucky and my husband gets six weeks off of work, but I’m worried about when he goes back to work because he works nights and I’m on my own for bedtime.

Any tips? What is your current routine with 3 or more kids?

I’m moving school districts and my school account will deactivate as soon as the school year is up. I have worked for the district for nine years so as you can imagine, I have a lot of docs, forms, etc. I have created that I want to keep and use for my new job. Anyone know the easiest way to do this without making it a complete headache? I’ve been researching but want to see if anyone has found an “easy” way!

TYIA!

Not sure what I am looking for… maybe to vent? Maybe advice or a way to get over it?

So, just the title. I gave birth two days ago to our 3rd child. Everything went great, no complications. But I’m bleeding, breastfeeding, and all the things. Well, to put it frankly, my husband is weak when sick. Very stereotypical “man cold.”

It started when we got McDonald’s before I went in for my induction. He mentioned he hasn’t eaten there in a year. Then, he got Wendy’s for lunch when I was in the hospital. He also mentioned that “he didn’t bring his usual fiber pills. I just roll my eyes bc he is so dramatic lol

But now he has quote “explosive diarrhea” and doesn’t want to get the baby or my other toddlers sick. I do agree, but I’m also…. Just annoyed. And almost feeling resentful? This is not the first time. He always gets sick either right after I get sick (so I’m taking care of my toddlers while pregnant and recovering from the stomach flu) or just when I’m most vulnerable. So, I have to push through. This has happened like 4+ times. And I always have to be the strong one.

I 10000% do not think he does this on purpose. When not sick we balance everything and he is a great husband. I just am so frustrated that this is the start of my postpartum experience.

My in laws offered to take my older toddlers tonight, so that is helpful. Should I just let this go? Or how do I go about communicating how I feel without coming off as an asshole?
