On the other hand, I am very happy b/c she will be his companion throughout the day when I am at work. (usually he spends 10 hrs daily by himself while my husband and I are at work).
Has anyone felt this way after getting their second baby? Thanks. |
YES! I felt the same way when I got Madison even though I'd been wanting to get Max a companion for the last 2 yrs! It just changes the dynamics of your little family, but it will get better....
I felt so bad for having such conflicted feelings about missing my ONLY baby and our relationship, and loving this new little dog who needed me; and it's been 3 months now...I still have those feelings, but it's less often and I know I did the right thing. It just takes time adjusting to everything...feeding two at the same time, dressing them, if you do that, playing with them,....but eventually, things smooth out and you'll wonder what you ever did with just one
. Good luck; I don't think you'll regret it
I've never had children and I always wonder if Moms feel like this when they have their second baby?
