How to handle toddler while caring your newborn baby?

Question

Hi mga mi, i feel so tired. Kakapanganak ko lang nitong November and my toddler is acting up. Im so exhausted. Apat lang kami sa bahay and theres no one I can ask to take care of my toddler while Im taking care of my newborn. Btw, my husband is working. My toddler is 3 and half. Pag buhat ko si baby nagpapapansin ang Ate. Lagi ko syang napapagalitan lately and she keeps telling me, I dont love you Mommy, which making me angry and hurt. Im trying all my best pero pagod na ko. I cant even sleep. My fault din kasi I always letting her watch youtube and wala na rin akong time para turuan sya. Kanina lang, inubos nya lahat ng sabon ng kapatid nya. Sa sobrang inis ko napagsalitaan ko sya ng masama, tas nakurot at nahampas ko. Sabi ko sakanya, kung ayaw na nya dito ipapauwi ki na sya sa lola nya. Yung lola nya e nasa manila, binababy kasi sya, lahat ng gusto nya binibigay kaya may times na sinasabi nya na ayaw na nya dito gusto n nya s alola nya. Any tips po kung paano nyo po nahahandle yong ganito? Iniiyak ko na lang lahat pero ayoko rn naman na nasasaktan ko sya. I know the feeling na para kang walang kakampi. 😭 Di ko na po alam gagawin ko sakanya.#parenting

involve your toddler in taking care of your baby. lahat po ng gagawin kay baby always include ate. "look, ate, baby peed. what do we need to do? you're so good at taking care of baby, you know that we need to change her diaper! can you help mommy get baby's diapers? thank you, ate!" "look, ate, baby's sleeping. you want to kiss baby's foot?" then kapag mabait si toddler always let her hear na sya ang good example kay baby. "wow baby, look at ate. she's so good she follows mommy." give her small tasks so that she feels included.
