So mum guilt never goes. I have figured this out in the year my 1 year old has been alive. Am I spending enough time with him? Have I just let him watch too much TV again? Why does the house look so messy etc etc.
Now my new baby is born I have a new kind of guilt not with the newborn nope with my now 1 year old. I know everyone loves new babies and wants to come and see them when you come into work but thwy completely ignore my 1 year old who is in the front part of the pram. It wouldn’t be so bad but all, of these people used to come over to him and say hello and he got all of the attention but now no one even says hello to baby J and heads straight for the back. The guilt I feel for this is really bad that I usually go and cuddle him but with my newborn as I am breast feeding he is quite demanding and I feel I spend more time with the newborn than my 1 year old and this makes me feel so bad the guilt swallow me whole and is the worse feeling in the world.
So a message to people that want to ogle at my newborn please give my 1 year old attention too.

Aw it’s so hard, isn’t it? So much stuff to feel guilty about. It’s kind of mean of those people not to make a fuss of your one year old too though! #ItsOK

When any of my friends or family have had a second child I’ve always gone with a small gift for the older child and spent time with them before turning my attention to the new baby #itsok
