I'm pregnant with #2 and I feel like I just spend so much time ignoring him and being on my phone the past few months. I'm weak, tired, overstimulated, and sick. Today I just feel like I've been chasing him away or yelling at him and I feel so bad. Dh is preoccupied with work stuff and I just feel like a horrible neglectful parent.

I was in a similar position not too long ago.
What I did was send my 2 year old out for 4 hours in the morn and then I dedicated the full afternoon after his nap for him. I did an early bedtime and then I had peace and quiet in the eve.

I'm not a very patient mom. My little one is 1.5 and I pray he won't remember this point of his life or judge me for it.
I can't sit on the floor and play with him for hours like he would love me to. I wish he's just occupy himself which he's not so great at.
I end up leaving him in places where I know he won't be able to run after me, like his crib or sitting in his chair at the table, with lots of toys to keep him occupied and I check on him every few minutes. He's usually not very thrilled about it but I can't do it any other way.
The interesting part is that he's still so happy and easy. I hope I'm not damaging him in the long run.

Pregnancy takes a toll on the whole family.
Still, getting a sibling is worth it.

Lol, depends how often it happens. I did not appreciate it as a child, when mom was not available all the time due to pregnancy and birth circumstances.

Mom won't be available all the time. Pregnancies. Some work. I'm an only but mine worked late since she had to make up Friday night. Moms with good pay with later hours. Those with lighter hours won't afford this and that no guilt!
