I feel like this 16 month gap is so hard right now. With Edi-Rae starting to walk and get in to everything and then Paddy being almost 2.5 and having tantrums left right and centre, it doesn’t stop. Also the nap situation sucks with Paddy being on 1 nap and Edi-Rae still being on 2, there is always one kid awake so it’s so hard to get stuff done. They are so sweet and beautiful don’t get me wrong but like holy shit, the housework NEVER ENDS. It's not even like stuff I can leave, it is stuff that needs to be done like clean up food, make food, wash clothes etc. People try to give advice like, just leave the washing but then, what do they wear? Do they just be naked?
I started toilet training Paddy today which did not help the housework situation at all. What a task. I was bribing him with chocolate which helped so he did better than I thought but still like 4 accidents including 1 poo which he was happy to just leave in his undies. He has always seemed so happy to sit in his own poo… like I don’t get that. I would 100% cry for my mum to change my nappy if I did a shit. Kids are so random. I was so done after today I booked myself a 7:30 sauna and was just like catch ya’s. So happy I did because apparently Paddy was screaming at bed time which would have sent me over the edge after today. Daycare for BOTH kids tomorrow, YAYYYYYY!
