With a toddler and now a newborn I feel that I don't have enough attention to give them both. If I'm feeding the baby or holding her too much, I'm sad because I missed out on playing with my toddler or helping her with a bath or bedtime routine. If I participate in the bath/bedtime with the toddler, then I feel guilty because I let the baby sleep for several hours in her rock n play. Its so difficult! I don't have any words of wisdom right now, except I'm hoping to find a balance soon. And we just have to give ourselves grace. <3Ashley {Word on the Streets}https://www.blogger.com/profile/14091360695780932307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548254264374196673.post-46147506319859340512016-06-12T10:59:43.648-07:002016-06-12T10:59:43.648-07:00We go through these moments!

I know you must feel it more since I know you're really busy. Just know you're a good mom and that you shouldn't feel so down about it. It's just the guilt creeping in. Maybe a sign to add a little less in the coming weeks?Colleen Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793408250799141137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548254264374196673.post-44551155828258024532016-06-10T13:40:03.303-07:002016-06-10T13:40:03.303-07:00I wish I could help you but I've been feeling ...I wish I could help you but I've been feeling the exact same way lately and in fact, even have a similar post in my drafts. There's SO much that I feel like I'm missing out on with Mason because I work and I feel so guilty about it (and jealous of others). So, sadly I have no advice for you because I feel like I am barely swimming myself, but just know that I understand how you feel and if you ever need to vent, I'm here! xoElizabeth [Chasin' Mason]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15755393907480303868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548254264374196673.post-44334384903711260722016-06-10T08:56:52.555-07:002016-06-10T08:56:52.555-07:00Definitely feel you on this one, girl!

In the end it makes you a better person and a better mama and a good role model! I try to think of it as quality time over quantity of time.
