Mom Guilt😭😭😭

What do you say to your toddler when she says, "Mama let's play", but you can't because you're trying to put your cranky newborn to sleep? This breaks my heart so much, though I know my newborn needs me more now, my heart hurts seeing my first baby this way.🥺

yes. i said, "we can play later. let us put baby to sleep first. baby needs to sleep like when you were also a baby. and he/she will grow up and you will have a playmate." then tap, tap nia si baby. or if anjan papa nia, idagdag ko. "papa is here. you can play with papa. we will play later once baby is asleep....".

hi. you can say i'd love to play with you, but lets play after your nap/or after 10 minutes but do not tell her it's because of the baby try to avoid putting the blame on the baby because this will have a negative impact on your toddler that things changed because of the baby.
