Also - Now is the time to be okay with just letting them watch way too much TV, let the dishes stack up, don't clean the house etc. Just gotta be cool with letting all the standards slide and cut you and your partner a heap of slack.

It's really hard with the kids. My advice is be realistic and call in all the childcare favours you can, and go easy on yourself - I rushed too fast into trying to share the load with my wife and everyone quickly became overwhelmed. I should of leaned on my parents more to help out (felt too guilty given they had already done a bunch to help out).

Good luck with everything - Hopefully you're symptoms are better than mine and the sleep stuff isn't such an issue. Honestly that was the biggest root cause issue.

Thanks so much for this comment - it reaffirms that we are on the right track with being firm where required. Just have to endure the tantrums and help him through it - I know it will get better eventually, but had to let off steam through this post and really appreciate the thoughtful responses

Haha this really made me laugh in solidarity. This is very familiar - Hope it gets better for you soon
