Can having CP and caring for two young children be overwhelming?
Yes, at times. CP or not, a mother of two small children may be overwhelmed. There are times when I cannot seem to do tasks fast enough for my own satisfaction, which really bothered me when I had Sarah, my first child. Now, I have accepted that yes, I do things a little slower than others. With two children, I prioritize tasks and I know what other tasks ahead will be waiting for me. If I have to change a diaper and Sarah needs something, I let Sarah know that I will be with her as soon as I am finished changing Edwards diaper. I always make sure Sarah knows that I have heard her and will be with her as soon as I can. My husband, Kevin, often reminds me I cannot do two things at once. He tells me to take care of one thing and then the other.
