Help me!!! I have a 3.5 yo and a 2 month old. I live in Chicago, I went ho,e to stay with my Mom for a week(dif state) to visit, get help. ect. Anyway, the kids and I stayed with her. However since we got back to Chicago my son has hit and kicked classmates and reachers, (he has NEVER done that before) Today when I picked him up he was in the "office" hysterical.

Listen. A 2 mo old baby does not need more attention. I had mine 18 months apart. You have to focus on your toddler who feels and will remember. Address his emotional and physical needs, center your world around him and just tend to the baby's basic needs. The baby is 2 mo old. It won't remember. [ Reply | More
