I have a 7year old boy 18month girl and 4mo boy. My18mknth old has hit terrible 2's... she's not ridiculous but my mom guilt is overwhelming with juggling all 3. We have a new house that is 3500sqft and I have arthritis and a spinal break that's never healedbproperly. I need ADVICE on how to manage the toddler w the baby and still have time to me my 7 yr old feel special. I'm overwhelmed and a very in depth mom when it comes to teaching my children. I stay at home and am not only seeking advice on how to handle the 2 babies but also any mom groups or moms who want to start a mom group to get us out of the house and interacting w other kids (and adults for me). Luckily my 4month old is pretty much perfect.. both my boys were/are.. but my daughter is very strong willed and I am overwhelmed. ADVICE PLEASE. :)

What can I do next?

I was there.. my boy /girl were 18 months apart .. and it is hard.. very hard.. and harder in the winter when it is more work to get everyone dressed to go outside..

I would call a local school district see if they have playgroups.. I went to a playgroup at a local school with both kids and it was my sanity.. and playgroups in a school building are better.. the kids had the gym to run in and great toys.. and the teacher led the group and planned the activities so it wasn't a free for all.

look for kindermusik classes they are great... some are expensive.. others are not... (parks and rec for the local cities are the best source for cheap activities.. some community centers have playrooms for little ones..

I would change title of your question. Not many people will click on it since you put a location. Since you asking for advice on juggling three kids you may get more responses to that question.

What about a M.O.P.S (mother of pre-schoolers) group? Or toddler play classes at a local recreation district? Give mops a google and see what comes up! Good Luck!

Have a schedule and stick to it. I always had a good morning schedule. Afternoon we were flexible. Now I have a great schedule for my granddaughter. Afternoon we play it by ear. She is very easy going so if I want to run around and do things in the morning, she will cat nap in car and when we get home take a long nap. For the most part mornings are the same and she thrives on it.

Even with my own kids 3, 2, 1, and a newborn things ran relatively smooth
Because we had our routine.

When my granddaughter comes back to me every day (new baby is 2 weeks) they will be 22 months and four months. Schedule will start first day. I take the older baby twice a week to keep,her in the swing of things.
